 My favorite event of the summer. The 80th National Hydroplane Races in Hampton, Va. These Jersey Skiffs are a blast to watch. This boat was going approx. 67 mph as it passed me by. The rider was pulling up the flag as they were about to cross the finish line...in the air.

Excellent point of view and well done on getting the action stopped cleanly and still having background motion.

Good capture, I would have liked to see more sea (couldn't resist :))Seriously, I think it needs some more space in front.
