that's terrible, I don't understand those guys in those race boats they are playing with death. there is a death or two every year. that's just crazy! |
Probably no more than any other form of racing.  People die on dirt tracks, moto cross, road courses, and drag strips every year.  You don't hear about most of them.
We're a pretty tight knitt group here on the boards, and most of the boat racers are known, so you hear about these tragedies more. |
Didn't Eddie Hill retire from boat racing to go to a much safer 300 MPH Top Fuel dragster?
I understand your point though Sleek. In our world, we hear it all, in great detail, and usually before it makes the news.
