Drag Boats

Saw these on Sky a couple of weeks back, absolutely mental, 4.7 sec 1/4 miles at 250 mph, on water!

When you see a shot from above when they first go there is an underwater explosion as they dive off the line.

Also when they release the parachutes they go in the 50ft rooster tails meaning they slow down pretty quick!
