Default It is Not Offshore

But went to Augusta, Ga for the Southern Nationals,
And was treated to some Flame throwin, Nitro Belchin,
Racing. Also saw one boat in Top Alcohol Hydro hook a sponson on the start and 2. 3 giga seconds later the boat was pointing nose up underwater. which is the second pic, driver escaped unharmed. the top pic boat was eventual winner, ran 227 mph, et was 4.089 seconds or something like that in that run. If you ever have a race near by check it out. the noise level from the Top fuel hydros was un believable, and very hard to descibe.
