If you have never been to a 1/4 drag boat race, this will give you an idea what it looks and sounds like. They are spectactular. They dont run the MPH that a top fueler does but get up to 200+ almost as quick. They use the same engines and fuel.

What a hole shot! I wish my boat dug out like that. How would you like to be behind that one holding on to a rope?

Blue, what kind of boat do you have?
I/O, jet drive, outboard, V drive, ?

I worked at a boat shop for a couple of years when I lived in Sacramento. One of these days I am going to pick up a 19' jet and a 25'ish deep v with a BBC and bravo drive.

IIRC he posted a thread on here a year or two ago with pictures when he was redoing the floor.

All I remember is it has a ford v8 in it.

:edit: I'm bored
