My Father took me to the New York boat show one year so long ago. Miss Bardahl was on display. She sat on an angle port side low. I was just a squirt but could see everything. Thanks for the seeing her in action again. Thank you Dad. You made day.

I’m an old fart now at 64 years of age & 40 plus years ago can still recall those monsters racing around & around Mission Bay here in San Diego California. When the show came to town we camped for 3 days out on Fiesta Island each year and had some awesome times with friends & family. Chuck Muncie in the “ Miss Budweiser” was THE Man Back then. There were unfortunately some pretty horrendous crashes sometimes when they would catch air underneath and flip way up in the air before crashing back down again. That was when racing in those took a REAL PAIR OF BALLS. Cool video here , thanks for posting 😎👍

@@dcolb121 Yes, I watched Don Garlits try to get to 200mph with an electric dragster. Love the big sound of the top fuel cars, but the biggest difference is that the EV dragsters are hopelessly slow. None the less it is interesting to see them push the limits of battery technology. It's just a different thing.

I remember when we lived in San Diego we were in the Pacific Beach area. We watched Miss Budwiser and Miss Bardahl duking it out on Mission Bay in the mid 1960's. One race Miss Budwiser got taken out by a beer can in the water. Beer ca s were made of steel back then.
