It's called Sprint Boat racing. Think of a Rally/autocross mix, navigator/driver teams. Boats with roll bars, who'd a thunk it? The sport was started in New Zealand, spread to Australia and has been running around these parts for about 4 years now in different incarnations and venues. They are running in Albany, I know, saw them spraying away from I-5 as I drove by last summer. We saw them in Woodland, WA about three years ago. Great fun, loud big blocks, 14 foot aluminum boats with roll bars, thrust by Hamilton three stage pumps. Let off on the gas and you are not turning any more..........

You guys remember racing up the Sammamish slew between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish? It was nowhere as tight as that but, it was class racing so,there could be a bunch of boats in there together. It was run what you brung and there was a class with boats towing water skiers. They used very long tow ropes so the skier had to worry about fouling the rope in the brush on the inside of turns.
One of the guys I used to race with put his boat right into a concrete bridge pillar at about 50. It is still the scariest accident I ever saw in person. The boat just disappeared. He was thrown clear and fine.  They ran that race for years. The old timers would tell the first time runners there was a bathtub sunk on the inside of a right hand turn near the end at Lake Sammamish. The new guys would take the corner wide and the old timers would have the inside on any new guys ahead of them. Story Dave |

Story Dave yea i remember that. i think i went to the last race before the slew was straightened out and ruined. those boats went insanely fast for what they were racing in. |
