Dig a hole in a wheat field, fill it with water, race boats on it. Wild. The water-borne equivelent of autocross, driver and navigator/victim strap into the boats then attempt to run the course in the prescribed order. Turns are numbered and, at the beginning of the event, teams are presented with a list that maps that event's route. A wrong turn equals a DNF. Qualifying in the morning, eliminations in the afternoon. Thirteen-foot-or-so hulls, 700-1000 horsepower. Check it out.
