    Happy Thanksgiving!

    This is a THE time to give thanks for all we have. First, I want to thank the big man upstairs. Then MJ and Valiant and anyone else that keeps this site up and running. It is a breath of fresh air from some of the other boating sites. I check in daily and it is a bit of therapy...

    World Finals Lucas Drag Boat Series

    World Finals - Dubbed Thrills and Spills for a reason. Oouch! The end of season is a good thing sometimes. There was some quality boats utterly destroyed. It will take the entire off season for the drivers to heal and boats to be made/repaired. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVabRJPKzo
