You don’t have to send me a text message alerting me about the next drag boat race I’ll be attending. And you won’t have to text message me when a Top Fuel Hydro is fired-up in the pits or cackling on the holding rope ready to blast down the liquid ...

“Studying the Scriptures Sanctifies Striking the Serpent”
There are different ways of telling the truth. You can state a fact, “Drag boat racing is fast and furious,” or you can tell a story, “Dale Ishimaru ran 263.60 mph in Red Bluff.” A story at times can be a more powerful way of getting a point ...

“Feeding Frenzy”
Every racing fan knows that feeding a Top Fuel motor takes plenty of fuel for it to run fast. The fuel pump doesn’t care who you are or how much money you make; it only wants more fuel to feed the nitromethane powered engine. The fuel engines of a m ...
