It's been a while since I posted. I will catch up starting with Parker AZ.
Drag boats from all over the west coast strut their stuff on the Colorado River in February. Just below Parker Dam a quarter mile course is marked by buoys on the river. There are several classes of boats. The big boys can reach speeds up to 200 mph.

Boats are towed out and line up on a rope stretched
between two floats.
This boat is so fast and powerful it has
a parachute on the stern
I did not see this one run, but it sure is pretty
I was move night back at camp
