Default Qatar Team Obliterates Shootout Record with 244-MPH Top Speed
An amazing record-setting 244-mph run by the Qatar Team establishes a new Lake of the Ozarks Shootout Top Gun mark. Congrats to Sheikh Hassan, Steve Curtis and the rest of the team.

Crazier part is they did 210 with the parachute dragging. That boat is a rocket, great to watch.

Impressive, I expect that to stand for awhile unless they break their own record!

Congrats to all involved!

I was contemplating the stresses on that Mystic hull accelerating to 210 while dragging two deployed chutes . Amazing stuff . Then to come back and turn in a 244 performance is , well , lets just say the wood almost knocked my television over .
