The Unlimited Light Hydroplanes |

The Unlimited Lights. Bringing thunder back to hydroplane racing. These high speed pieces of art are 20 to 25 feet long and run a engine than ranges from 427 cubic inches up to 511 cubic inches. There is even a fire breathing blown alcohol 468 cubic inch engine that rumbles though the valley's and to the mountain tops. That my friend is the thunder that the unlimiteds have been missing for a decade. These boats run on the big body's of water that their big brothers run on as well as tight little courses that are so close to shore the spectators can feel the mist from their roostertails. These boats hit speeds of 165 mph and can fly around a closed 1 2/3rd mile course at nearly 120 mph. Imagine... 8 of these boats lined up as they cross the starting line hitting 160 mph, drivers throwing their boats into the 1st turn, hooking up that skid fin and throwing a wall of water 5 stories into the air. The rumble. The roar of the engines making it impossible to talk to a person standing next to you on the shore. To me, that is the definition of POWER! |
