Whitewater Jet Boat Racers

Ive seen those before......I want to build one! It looks like a riot! come on, you have a roll cage and a harness, what is the worst that could happen?
 
I love watching those White water races, I've seen most of the vids. I kinda get some of that same effect running my jet all out in the chop close to the Chesapeake Bay... And yea I have stood mine almost straight up, and got her 4 to 5 feet out of the water. I love it and would like to give those rapids a shot. :D

Besides racing SCCA I used to fly airplanes upside down along with all your run of the mill aerobatic stuff - loops, rolls, spins, etc. I guess my lack of desire to actually drive one of those white-water racers has to do with not being totally in control of your own destiny (or maybe I just used to be stupid enough to fool myself into thinking I was in control), either that or I'm beginning to realize I've cheated major injury enough times already.

But they sure look bad azz.
