Last day of the County Fair today.
And that means Boat Races!
Just got home from them. Best one I've seen yet. They either changed the rules, or never had much rules to begin with about just what exactly constitutes a boat. Lots of cars dragging jet skis, kayaks, even a few paddle boats. So faster racing this year. Video from last year: |

That looks like so much fun.
Right around 2:10 the guy may have been trying to get out of there. He was signaling right. |

6:00 the random jet ski all by itself. Intact, no less.

Do I remember correctly, the winner is the last one with a boat still in tow?

In theory, yes, but sometimes the race is stopped with a few still intact because there are so many disabled cars on the track with people inside that it becomes a safety thing. The crowd then "votes" with applause and cheering to pick the winner.

Fun is fun, but here's the kind of serious racing I'd like to see at my local track:

Good news, a boat can and will be used as a street sweeper.
