Jetboat racing is the coolest thing ever. Any boat that needs a rollcage (and uses it!) is OK in my book.

Are there permanent courses in Wa. and Or. ?

The water looks muddy and full of silt. The pump housings probably take a beating from the impeller to housing friction as result of the high levels of silt in the water.

They run 0-60 in like 2.0 and pull 6 or 7 gee in the corners. Unsane. I think they had to shut down the course they had outside Kalama, but there's one over near Pullman somewhere, last I heard.

I got all jazzed about going for a ride in one of those, but the "WA" location on this website doesn't refer to Washington State; it refers to Western Australia.
Oh well.
