Let the bashing begin.

I am not going to bash anybody but I agree especially at the 1:10 mark, if someone was idling out of the area...look out. Total blind spot for both.

I believe that is a closed course. They race directly in front of the casinos in Biloxi.

Great effort, the boat looks like it takes a nice set and then just keeps accelerating, but I like others can't help but think those canopy hinges look mighty flimsy for high speed runs, is it not getting to the point where these boats need break away driver cells as per top fuel drag boats?
