Hillbilly Racing Team: week in review

[Jeff H]

Good stuff guys! It's all about finding the hobby that you enjoy participating in or watching in your free time. I've actually been so busy with work that the little time I've had off this summer, I backed off the car shows and drag racing to run to the beach to watch the garveys/skiffs/ski boats race along the Jersey shore. It's amazing what 4-5 boats with small block chevy's and open headers sound like when they all take the green flag at the same time! These pictures were from this past Sunday and this weekend is the end of their season for the boat races. These racers are a mix of men/women from 18 through 70 years old and they do it all summer long! The past 2 weekends saw a couple of the garveys hook a wake and the driver and co-pilot were tossed out at 50+ mph! Everyone was fine and kept on racing. Now you know why they call them pineys along the shore! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Some of the modified boats are making 500-600 hp in a very light boat!
