[MrFordShelby]

[thiagoassisflex]

AAAUUUU...OOOOUUUUU!

[JuniorDragstarUK]

got to say, i thought drag racing on strips was dangerous, but the force of the water looks very powerful!

[Gusdor]

@JuniorDragstarUK I've fallen off my windsurfing board at around 25 mph and that hurt quite badly. This must be nuts!

[Motorsblow471]

Cool video but that must have hurt

[505197]

While these boats are awesome they seem so unforgiving, in a eye blink you can go from hero to disaster. They may be the most unforgiving device you can race, boats always scared me and I've raced cars and bike both. The fastest I've been in a boat was 80 and it felt so damn unstable on the pad. I always had the feeling a boat would fuck me up. It must be like drugs cause no rational man would risk it. Takes some nuts to strap into one of those missles, more then I got.

redbluff, best place to go besides arizona.

[dreamssofblue]

holly crap. first time i have ever seen a boat drag with boats this bloody fast. did you see the driver go air born? wow!

[gunslinger5854]

@dreamssofblue That is what the Lifeline was designed to do.If something bad happens a small parachute opens and pulls the driver away from the boat. His chances of survival increase manyfold not being around that fiberglass missile. It also slows the driver down considerably after he exits the boat. Back in the early 80s they didn't have these even as an option and I saw one driver go through timing lights at a little over 170mph after his boat crashed and threw him out. He died later that day

[joe23da]

do u know what motors they use i have a poker run boat in need of some and the boat used to do 160 plus and we need power it had triple 1075s and 3000hp

[nitromethane222]

these are cool as hell the guys are nuts lol ill stick with a nostalgia funny car

[Scott07kx450]

Y isn't ishamaru racing anymore?

[MShugrue1966]

He crashed and retired

[granitepeaks1]

Problem Child is the new TFH World Record Holder at 264 mph.

[Naflemac]

@granitepeaks1 Not so very far away from Ken Warbys world water speed record...maybe in 5 to 10 years time, dragboats will go over 300 mph?

[granitepeaks1]

@Naflemac Now that the course has been shortened to 1000 feet from the old 1/4 mile (1320 feet)...I doubt they'll ever hit 300. At 1320 feet...I think it was definitely possible in the near future.

[DAVIDEPable]

siete dei pazzi!!rsrrsrs

[linkinparkaz]

And you don't know anything!

[YaMAhaRuLeSedman]

whatever man just saying calm down a little and dont put down every one

[YaMAhaRuLeSedman]

your'e like a 12 year old that has to put down vulgar comments on youtube to make yourself feel slightly like a man, grow up a little.

[YaMAhaRuLeSedman]

man, you are a real asshole, that sucks that happened but was fucking awsome at the same time, how bout not writting terrible comments

[okbuilder]

Glad to see Eddie and the guys still at it. He used to rattle my windows in Palm Springs back when Problem Child was a BGH. '93 I believe?

[granitepeaks1]

@okbuilder Yep. That was back in the BGH days of the Capaldi's ( Ray & Tim) ,  Rod Alexander, and a host of other greats. Sadly most of them are gone now. Rod Alexander just died a couple months ago of a brain aneurysm.

[atreewithnolife]

huge speeds!!these guys are on the outer limits!!!

[ffairlane57]

This is one of those FUCK YEAH!!! moments.

[gnrledzep4eva]

[smactek]

[JACKIEEC]
