I doubt Nascar had anything to do with that.
Looks like fun though!

Man, that looks fun! I wanna do it! But, can I borrow one of your boats and tow vehicles to do it with?

Re: A different kind of boat racing

They have done that event here at Lowes Motor Speedway's dirt track.Also do a school bus race.They are fun to watch.My favorite is the Dodge Viper drift competition,watching those guys beat the heck out of new Vipers.Dodge pays for it and supplies the cars.I got to fill in this spring in Dover for a couple hours driving a Viper.What a blast,you get to take the public for a ride and scare the crap out of them.Out of everything i get to drive from time to time the full blown Nextel Cup cars are the best.Nothing like cooking tires in all 4 gears!..
Yea,i know.You guys think redneck sport but if you ever got behind the wheel you would rethink that opinion...

That looks like a great nights entertainment to me! Watching or racing either one would work for me.Gary I would sit beside you on that viper ride! That drifting stuff is pure wild! Seen a bit lately on SPEED.Mama says i just watch it for all the hotties on their show.

Re: A different kind of boat racing

I have had the pleasure of working at a few NOPI shows.You would not believe the tiny bikinis... Those girls get wild!
I have a ton of pics,too bad we can't post them anymore...
Talledega is the Woodstock of racing,Nothing but topless girls and a huge party.Sometimes i hate my job...LOL..

FnG,I had a lady actually pee her pants in the Viper.I was about 2 inches from the wall in a 80 mph slide..She was a Dodge company rep too...

I'll be interested to see how close the production model is to the prototype.
The Dodge folks said it would be very close.They would not say what kind of price tag,although one rep said in the 50k range,"off the record"...

Yep, FnG Dega is a blast!! I don't drink and can't anyway while i'm working but just the eye candy is worth the trip...

Re: A different kind of boat racing
