Head to Head



Two legends of unlimited hydroplane meet head to head.  Could Jimmy Shane make it three wins in a row in the 5 Graham Trucking?  And would the 63 point lead in 2013 season standings that Steve David carried into the Sunday heats driving the 1 Oh Boy! Oberto still be there at the end of the day, giving the retiring veteran his seventh driver’s championship?

Unlimited Hydroplane Races


Since 1984, the vast majority of races have been won by boats that used the Lycoming T-55 L-7C engine, originally intended for use in the Vietnam era Chinook helicopter.
