for anybody that drives a boat often you can appreciate this dudes skills

Here is a link that all you guys who think they can drive should look at. keep in mind this is a boat that does not handle at all like a car. you boat owners can attest to this driver.

That's awesome. But that's not just any ordinary boat. It handles differently than a typical boat would.

yall think that is vrazy, my best friend drag races boats in the top fuel hydro class, and with a 5000hp keith black hemi, regularly runs over 225mph in the 1/8th. You can find his wreck video on those amazing video shows from time to time, his boat is named the blown bull.

I love watching this on Speed when they air it - it's just a non stop thrill seeing it. But after coming to grips with how fast these things change direction, I started thinking about the reactions the pilots must have to take the right corner in the right direction. The course is like a maze, and they obviously have to follow a set course through what appears to be a bunch of possible options. How they remember the choreography at those speeds is really impressive!

That is what I am talking about. anybody can go fast in a straight line. add a few sharp tuns and let's see how they do.
