Coming around turn 4 to start the race:

The pits:

To serve and to protect:


The boats were averaging 150-160mph around the track, and they can sprint up to 200mph. It was cool to see. Here's a video, quality is sub-par but you'll get the idea: http://www.nerdish.com/tfest/into_turn_4.mov

I was there, by looking at the pictures, I was about 10 seats away from you all the way at the top. What did you think when the piston boat made the victory lap at the end of the gold cup, I thought he was hitten the wall.
