5 Minutes in a Blown Gas Flat Bottom

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Mike Chadwick takes us for a ride in his 1978 Hondo Blown Gas Flat Bottom (5/8 Runner Bottom), named "Ricky Bobby BGF". He has two of these boats with the same paint job, but with slightly different setups. This particular boat runs a1300 horsepower 540ci big block Dart with a 12-71 Mooneyham blower running 116 octane race fuel.
Mike races his boats in the NJBA and ADBA Drag Boat Racing series and I always love shooting him as he's not afraid to stomp the throttle and put some air between him and the water, as you'll see near the end of this video.
Since this wasn't an official event, I didn't shoot it for any magazines. I just went to see my friends, and watch some badass boats make some hot passes. Thanks to Mike for letting me slap a GoPro Camera on the boat.

    No one realizes the amount of time it takes to set up a runner bottom to run like that. Well done. Biggest regret was selling my runner. Made mistake of giving my exwife a ride and airing it out a bit. Lol

That water is glassy calm! My 19’ STV EURO and 270 hp merc promax flies over light river chop,at 50 to 75 +, costs a fraction of that thing to buy own n operate and tops out well over 115 and easily cruises at car speeds. I hope this guy has more than one boat, I like speed too but seems that boat would just be a tease!

That said, I have to partially agree with Romeo. Not in an inflammatory way. The people here are guys enjoying their toys, but they aren't racers, and as such, aren't really pushing.
