Lol, just noticed your sig. I thought about going but I've got my kids and I don't think they could hang for that long.

I went back in '03, I have a couple of buddies that race in the SDBA. Wish I could have made it to this years race. The boats that race in the top class, I can't remember the name of it, are stupid fast. 6 second 1/4 mile times. The "Aquaholic" made my jaw drop 
the ground shook when he went by at like 250mph.

top fuel hydroplane is the top class, basically a top fuel car motor bolted to a boat with a lenco transmission. pretty retarted fast. my favorites are the Allison RiverRat v-bottoms with outboards. nothing like the sound of a 15krpm Mercury screaming by at 120+mph. hopefully next year me and my uncle will have something to show those boys in the SDBA "River Racer" class.

I'm hoping to have mine back running this year, maybe race it next year if everything works out and I build up a TT BBC for it. I just need to find a running 460 to get it back in the water this year
