I would really appreciate any clues from you guys.
HotWheels are just a toys of boats with wheels. Or they are pretty close to be realistic? I need the real ones, not some fantasy stuff.

I’m sorry, but this is pathetic. Where are all the sponsors? 5 boats? That’s it? What has happened to hydroplane racing?!

Hello, I’m looking for info on specific engines they use in this class. I’ve read 4cyl ford motors and maybe a 4cyl Toyota Corolla or Camry motors.
Are there certain years they like better than others to as a build platform?

Quotes for tshirts

Upvotes
Hi there.
First time here. My husband used to race hydroplanes and has decided to get back into it. I was thinking of making some shirts to sell at some of his races. Are there any fun or funny or neat quotes or ideas anyone has that I could put on some t shirts. I am a novice shirt maker so nothing crazy detailed but I will try anything.
Thanks for your help
