    It's a planetary trans, like in asphalt racing.

    Eddie Hill, the famous Pennzoil sponsored Top Fuel racer was a dominant boat racer, but after he had a particularly nasty crash that almost cost him his vision, switched to cars, to become the first guy in the "fours".

    BTW, I have read that the roostertail puts 8 tons of water in the air, during a typical pass.
