18 or so years ago I was in Seattle on a parts run in a large strip-mall place & I see this sign on one of the buildings that says "Offshore Powerboat Museum" & I had to look. All the old boats in there had Supercharged V12 Griffons, Merlin's, Packard's and the like - being a motor head I was blown away & as the only visitor in the place I was free to roam. At one point I was standing on Miss Hawaii's trailer looking down into the big ass J pipes & a guy shows up & asked me if I'd like to hear it run. I think I pee'd my pants a bit I was so excited !
He fired that thing up on the priming pump and it promptly blew my ball cap off & singed my eyebrows just that quick.
But I'll never forget the thunder that baby made. :shock:

It sounded a lot like this.

umm, people are scum bags??
idk, maybe they think they're protecting the desert, but by killing humans in the process, really?
and honestly, how bad is it driving through the desert, it's not like these people run over valuable plants and cacti in the process of the race, they're mostly on dirt roads the whole time as far as i've ever seen..
idk, i don't get it man. hope they catch the asshats though..
