I'm watching Speedvision right now, ( 7:26 PM CST, 12/26 ) and they are
showing something apparently called "Jetsprinting".
To me, it looks for all the world like autocrossing in boats. The
speeds don't look much, if any, higher than autocrossing, and the only
differences apart from the equipment seem to be a whole bunch of water
splashing around, and course is defined by the surrounding land, instead
of cones.
( It isn't apparently, in their Program Guide, though. Should be
"Dream Car Garage". Maybe I'm just hallucinating. )
I have never seen boats turn like these do; they put those F1 boats to
shame. Just saw one spin out, and wind up on shore, but it didn't even
roll over or burst into flames. Nothing there more interesting than a
Solo. Hell, ProSolo would be much better TV than this.
Okay, the boats do have names like "X-terminator" and "True Blue".
