Re: IHBA Drags at Firebird-I had to work this week
 

Thanks for the pics Bruce. Had a relative on the inlaw side that raced the nitro drag boats and let me sit in it and fire it one time. I say one time cause that was all I wanted. seemed like the hull flexed with any lope or goose of the throttle. I will stay on land thanks! Also, the deuce missed you at pavillions again! Have a great weekend with Holly!

Re: IHBA Drags at Firebird-I had to work this week
 

Great pictures Bruce and congratulations to Holly. We have boat drags here in Wisconsin also, but the ice slows them down a bit......
