Boat Racing

Filed under: Articles about Sports, Outdoors, Racing, Rowing, Sports — Author @ 8:24 pm

 

 I just wrote an article about boat racing. Here’s an except from that article:

 Drag racing on land, with custom built cars is an exciting spectator sport. The water equivalent is just as thrilling and drag boat racing is growing in support. One reason the events are such popular spectator sports is that you never know what is going to happen with the surface of the water. A light breeze might come up or something might be floating in the water. Either event could have dire consequences for the participants in the race. The race is usually over a quarter mile and involves two boats, competing against each other. The highlight of the drag calendar is the IHBA World Finals, held at Phoenix in Arizona.
