Let me tell you WHY you need so much help to keep it going: That's because it's not interesting to watch. Simple as that. I'm a petrolhead, love mechanics and love going fast, but this is about as exciting as watching paint dry. I mean the first time (maybe two) you watch it, you are impressed. It's like watching Danny D fuck Lana Rhoades... for 2 seconds. I mean sure the man has a big dick, but it's not really exciting.

We were nearly laughed out of the races at Red Bluff with the non-standard outrigger style, but look at the Bullet hull now. It’s through the continued effort of all the folks, both current and prior that have continued to advance this sport to do things that I think are equally impressive as the achievements of NHRA and F1. I’m honored to have played a part in this and in awe of the successes you all have achieved!

*_There is only one thing crazier than a Top Fuel Drag Car... Top Fuel Drag Boat._* I have been on water in excess of 100 and that was plenty exciting. Can't imagine what close to 300 must be like on the water. Those boats don't just go fast, they accelerate at mind numbing G's for entire run. So many things can go wrong and when they do, boats are obliterated. Even with the breakaway safety capsule, the forces exerted on body can kill. *_Unlimited Hydro boats go fast, Drag Boats not only go fast, they get to top speed in seconds._*
@flyjum2 жыл бұрын
I was there at firebird lake when they ran that 273mph pass. Top fuel hydro is the most insane motorsport racing. To go 0-275 mph in 3 seconds on water is something else. It really sucks this is the last season at this famous man made lake as they are removing the dragstrip and lake to build a shopping mall...

Way back in the late 70s I was watching Boat races on TV, "Hydroplanes" i believe they called them. Well im sure those boats were nothing compared to these, but one of them bounced up, and its prop came out of the water for one second. It stalled, and a few minutes later they had it towed up to a dock. They opened the engine compartment, and the whole thing had melted into a "modern art masterpiece!"
@foobar201 Жыл бұрын
Unlimited hydroplanes are still around, but they're a different beast. The hydroplanes are built light with turbine engines from helicopters and they go on a round course, so they're at top speed for much longer than these drag boats. Unfortunately the hydroplanes are rather accident prone and expensive to run so they rarely get more than 4 on the water at a time these days.

Liquid Voodoo driver Kebin Kinsley is a total bad ass. He not only holds the world record on water he holds the world speed record over 304 MPH in The War Wagon fuel altered. War Wagon team also has a nitro burning Pro Mod Corvette and their latest creation a old school front engine Nitro powered dragster. They also have a Funny Car body for the fuel altered and run Funny Car chaos with it. Kebin also has driven Top Fuel Dragster and was RU at Indy a few years ago. I don’t know if there’s ever been a driver who drives so many different types of dragsters. The War Wagon team often has a couple of their cars at the track at the same time and he drives all of them. He built the his first Fuel Hydro capsule back in the early 1980’s in our shop in Houston and we all teased him that it would never work having a roll cage in a boat. You got the last laugh Kebin ! I have to add he’s a really great guy that simply loves what he does.
