Don't get me wrong, I really like k-boats and blown alcohol drag boats, but I grew up around GP hydros, and I think these things are just the shit.
The video isn't great, but just watch this thing go. 117 mph may not sound like much, but that's the AVERAGE speed on a 1 1/4 mile course.
Quick rundown of the class: 24-26 ft long, 13 ft wide, about 2500 lbs. 511 cu. in injected engines running any blower and ratio they want. The one in the video burned about 33 gallons of methanol a heat. Wow.
Enjoy!
