Smile 3 deck wide Unlimited Hydros on the Columbia




As a Seattle youth I'd create a hydroplane out of wood, to drag behind my bike.


Hydroplane are low flying airplanes,,,,,,,with water.....racing with a 250-300 ft rooster tails. 225 or 250 mph on the long straights.

All boats, diving into Turn 1....... for the hole shot.......


hold your lane hold your lane....oooops, no more lane. Squeezed and with no place to go, you flood out the guys in lane 2 and 3.


THIS RIGHT HERE IS AWESOME DECK TO DECK 200 MPH HYDRO RACING.............ive seen in many years.


2018 FINALS . GRINS.
