I went to Red Bluff yesterday and had the pleasure of seeing the fastest Drag Boat pass in history - 4.69/263 Yes, that's not a typo, 263MPH! This was run by Eddie Knox's Problem Child piloted by Dale Ishimaru. This is a leg on both the ET and MPH records which I think is 4.70/255, so that's 8 MPH over the record!
To make the pass even more incredible, Dale got way out of shape at the start and had to pedal it, then blew the blower off before the traps and he still ran 263!
I wasn't able to stay for second round but Eddie said they hurt the motor real bad and only had one spare and would save it for Sunday.
Anyone see second round?
