Last weekend we had the Southern Nationals for drag boats down here in Augusta. Similar concept for the Top Fuel boats, running a quarter in the 4-5 second range and VERY loud. I was stunned watching these run. It was the first time I have ever seen a boat with a 'chute.
Even when they shut the motor down and punched the chute as they passed the finish it must have been a good half to three quarters of a mile down the river that the things were going slow enough to turn.
