"Cracker Box Racing" at Thunderboat Regatta, San Diego
One of the professional photographers for sports magazines was standing next to me as I used my camcorder at one of the prime viewing areas at the Boat Regatta, so he was telling me a lot about the racing classes that I didn't know before; the "cracker box" boats shown in this video have some REALLY interesting history (see below). These flat bottomed boats have the engine set AHEAD of the boat racers!, and you get some REALLY outrageous boat hops during the race with this type of boat! It would be a BLAST drivin' these things!! LOL Here's the info from Wikipedia.org:
"The California Cracker Box is a racing runabout design popularized on the American west coast shortly after the Second World War. The design places a 283 ci. small-block Chevy engine (originally cannibalized from wrecked Corvettes) in the middle of a flat-bottomed boat, with driver and engine man sitting behind it with their backs almost against the transom. Power hits the water by way of a straight propeller shaft exiting the bottom of the boat. As the class developed, boats got faster, and presently race in the 80 to 90 mph range. In recent years the Cracker Box hull has become a favorite with radio-controlled boat modellers, powering 1/4 scale versions with grass trimmer engines."
The song is "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood
