The hydroplanes (which are really fast boats that skim over the water) reached speeds over to 150 MPH in the SeaFair Hydroplane Races. I picked up a conversation on my radio scanner between the driver and his spotter. KIRO 7 covered the races live Saturday. There were (at one time) three helicopters hovering over the hydros to monitor the race.

This footage was taken August 4, 2007 on the west side of Mercer Island (in Washington state) looking out at Lake Washington just south of the I-90 floating bridge. For more information on SeaFair, go to www.seafair.com.
