Evansville Drag-racing
Aug 13, Sat
Bliss to sleep in a little. Up at 7:30 and into town. Breakfast at the Farmer's Table with many of the boat racing crews from all over the country. Tenzin & Bobby strolled off to check the boats out while James & I deliberated over menu items needed in Shenks ("You can't beat our meat!") Supermarket.
Drag racing began at 10am and we anchored just off the start line in the shade of the bridge. Boats dragging at 150mph...Bobby in heaven as he points out weight to water length ratios, horsepower to contour profiles and cylinder diameter to stroke length. We all nod.
We stayed until noon to watch the big guns with boat names such as 'Quit yer Bitchin', 'Just Another Quicky' and 'Neighbour's Nightmare.'

I understand horse power stroking the lengh of ratio in the water perfectly
John, guessed we shouldn't have used an elastic string! On these maps the confluence of the rivers look just like a vagina.
Knew you would Jerome!
