Saw many races on the Detroit River in the 70's and 80's. You can't describe the unbelievable roar of WW2 aircraft engines roaring by you. Sure miss that.

[@donaldgrant9067]

Thunder boats.

[@jesseandjan]

Now you hear the roar of the ones calling the race. So I turn the sound off.

[@csranch2000]

Still love watching these boats but it had a much bigger following back in the 70's when Wide World of Sports televised from helicopters in my home town of Owensboro, Ky. Now live in Texas and don't get to see live anymore. Thanks for the video brings back such great memories.

[@jamescrisp7951]

Wide world of sports wasn’t live. And I don’t think ABC ever covered the Owensboro race. The races are now live online.

[@csranch2000]

@James Crisp You sir are incorrect. They were covered once just don't recall what year. Bill Muncy drove Atlas Van lines.

[@hugejohnson5011]

​@@csranch2000I used to drop off wet bales of paper to a Kimberly-Clark plant in Owensboro! Nice place.

[@loganjohnson3589]

Back in the 80's a movie was made there it featured the the Miss Madison and the hard luck and dedicated crew who did whatever they had to to keep there boat going and how they won the gold cup in Seattle Washington I was a little boy then and i saw that race . Years latter i was a truck driver hauling boats for a living and i had the honor of bringing that boat and the Miss Budweiser to Madison from Seattle to film the movie .It was the first time the people of Madison had seen her in years .As i came into town I blasted my truck horn to announce i was there this was on the 4th of July and i will never forget the moment when i heard the race announcer call out as i approached the the waterfront LADYS AND GENTLMEN I BELIEVE THE MISS MADISON IS HOME . And the crowd of many hundreds of people roared in delight you could hear it throughout the hole town It was one of the many highlights of my driving career .Many of the crazy things they did in the movie are real I know this because i got to meet some of the old crew members who kept that dream alive .throughout the good times and bad .

[@AlexThePatriot]

Sad that Jimmy stopped racing, he's one of the best drivers I've seen in person. Besides ex Miss Budwieser Driver Dave Vilwock, I've had the honor of meeting both of them.

[@user-ef5od8jj2m]

one of the most epics showdowns of my lifetime. makes me want to get back out there myself. Hydro competition 4 life

[@timothyvaher2421]

Great racing, 🚤 🏭 Madison! Hope Hydro competition keep growing. 🏁 ⛵ Seattle!

The Unlimited Hydroplane boats are returning to the detroit river this August! 😎 Easy 200+ mph!

[@wuyiukwong]

I love hydroplane races 🥰💪

[@reidjohnson6803]

Love hydroplanes. Only 4 boats? Man, they are almost done with it. I'm old school. Chip Hanuer, Jim Kropfeld, Miss O'boy O'Berto running the last v-12 merlin, those were the days. These boats all look like the same platform. Like they all are built in the same shop. I assume 210mph is still about the max. I saw Muncie die in San Diego. Old timers here.

[@mysticwolf2842]

That was a bad one that day, but over all it was a good race! There were a few I watched from the deck of a sailboat.

[@toddlundquist4310]

Ya buddy way to go, Jimmy way to stick it out there

[@michaellaughlin8457]

well there definitely not the 200 mph boats from the 90’s early 2000’s🤷‍♂️👍

[@boblenihan4425]

I believe the fastest I’ve seen was 272 mph.

[@reidl587]

Talk about AMAZING announcing! For some that’s slightly complicated I completely understood what was going the entire time! Bravo good sirs

[@marcuslinton310]

LMFAO! The boats stayed in the same exact positions since the start of turn 2 and these announcers make it sound like they were having all out ruthless battle for first There was never any challenge of any position, none of them changed from the get go. Hilarious!! Announcers need a reality pill.

[@CanYouFoush]

@@marcuslinton310 it was an exciting final heat watching Corey attempt to claw into Jimmy’s lead. It’s important to remember that the announcers are primarily for the PA system and the fans on the shoreline. They aren’t focused on the stream audio.

[@zibbyzubb]

Big snooze. Not much of a race. I love the drone camera shots though.

[@marcuslinton310]

Exactly, it was pathetic, the announcers need a reality pill.

[@zibbyzubb]

@@marcuslinton310 well, they definitely need to get rid of Brad Luce. He is obnoxious.

[@jimig211]

He got me excited ready to go

[@ekobrot]

wow amazing

[@kevinbushey1879]

Very impressive

[@rickirwin8043]

Is the boat count down due to the races being in the Midwest or is there not any more boats due to the cost of everything? I'm a past resident of Lake Ozarks and I really want to see this series continue! Is the prize money too low? What's the answer if you would? Thank you

[@zfrilly]

Racing is expensive. Prize money doesn't cover much of anything. Sponsors are hard to get for well covered (TV) events, boats barely make TV so sponsors are barely there. Less people these days wanna risk their lives and just play video games so finding a crew of people who want to give up all their time and money to go have fun is a lot harder now than ever.

[@TheVegasbud]

I had some of the same questions . It is a shame how small H1 has become .I am from Vegas, anyone remember when Bill Bennett? Circus Circus Ceo, Bought every Turbine in the country for Chip Hanauer so they could piss off Budweiser? He was already faster with chip, he was just that way WIN or nothing .

[@CanYouFoush]

It’s a mix of both. Travel is expensive and so are the boats.

[@ExSheriffFattyBoySkinnyArms]

3 laps?

[@briantaylor9285]

Awesome

[@kenapacenel7184]

Mantap oke thnkyuo.

[@kermitefrog64]

They keep talking about Miss Tri Cities. I wonder if this was named after the Tri Cities Washington. The race is on the Columbia River where they have Pasco, Kennewick and Richland. This was only about an hour away from where I lived when I was in Washington 34 years ago.

[@chaztitan6457]

Imagine race driver's drivers trying to do this for 24 hours. That is a work out. No joke

[@Grizzman99]

Still the old rule applies, inside boat wins. Gp class is the future of the sport. Financially easier for teams, the noise is there, and man those boys drive the skid fins off those boats

[@mysticwolf2842]

Nothing beats the unlimited hydros they are stillmsome of the best boats on the water.

[@gtfivehundred1521]

Omg can you still hear.the boats with these guys talking? Thank goodness they don't do this at the NHRA

[@jesseandjan]

That is what I say. Best just to turn the sound off.

[@markconner3234]

The lack of competition in H1 is why it's dead. Love the boats BUT

[@_mysilentblue2227]

Come on did you not watch the race, the win was by 4 or 5 boat lengths. Not neck and neck but still good racing. That's the difference of one bad corner or some ruff water.

[@tadroid3858]

What 6 boats? That's not a league. That's a heat, maybe 2.

[@edwardmonsariste4050]

Since these turbine engines are the problem, how about go back to piston engines? Make a limit on liter size and buy crate engines? I don’t think the crowd would complain if turbine or piston if this sport could regain its popularity with a bigger field. Get the cost down and get sponsors. Marketing will bring competition and the fans back to levels of at least the 1990’s.

[@richardjohnson4696]

Hydro racing has become so boring to watch. I used to enjoy it, especially when they were running the piston engines. This is not interesting, or fun to watch.

[@marcuslinton310]

The last time I was at an event the announcer actually said something about Budweiser not really wanting to win the current heat they were in because they would lose fuel at the next event or something like that, it was odd for sure, but you could see Budweiser deliberately slowing down hoping to get passed, but never did. I guess it would have been too obvious if he just shut off his engine. I don't know WTF was going on, but it all sounds like some weird F'n politics which really ruined any idea of it being actual racing.

[@youyouulf]

Annoying reporters

[@shane011471]

It has been a long time since I have watched this class BUT what the hell happened? Looks like nothing but a shadow of its formal self, It looks sad and on life support.

[@darrenicon5172]

I remember both sides of the river covered by people when the thunderboats would race turbines are not the same Sadly 🤷‍♂️

[@matthewguay3266]

I dont watch this stuff but How is it fair when the Guy in Lane one has a Shorter Track all 3 Laps? Huh?

[@mrhatty0514]

The challenge is keeping the boat in the lane on that bottom lane, which means slowing down on entry and not carrying the same amount of speed through middle and exit. Meanwhile, the outside lane has the longer distance but can carry more speed since their corner isn’t as tight.
