How fast does those shifter karts go? Without the cutout of the girl.
At the kart track we go up to 75mph at the end of the longest strait but you can go around some turns at really high speeds and g forces. When we go to race car road courses we reach speeds up to 110-115mph. And you're sitting and inch from the ground.
Now, the cut out girl is used to distract all the other drivers while we're racing... :rolling:

On occasion, we use it to pull our 24' open raceboat trailer. Mostly we use the ancient RV ('73 Concord with a Dodge 440), though.

The boat you see is an Formula E Modified Runabout (aka 850 Mod Runabout). The boat you don't is a Formula E Modified Hydroplane (850 Mod Hydro). The hydro can run 95-100 MPH, the runabout 85-90 mph. The runabout's 14' and the hydro is 13'2". You kneel in the runabout and lay down in that particular hydro.

25' Gulfstream Amerilite. Just under 5000 lbs.

Hellwig rear sway bar.
KYB on all 4 corners.
Going to drop the 2" lift kit from the Astro and switch the BFG AT's for some Good Year Triple Treads.
Lots of tuning with my hp tuners stuff.

I still get about 11mpg with the thing behind me and can cruise at 70 no problem.

This was my 89, and I used it to tow customers boats back to my shop for graphics and polishing. They were short trips, under 10 miles, and the van was equipped for it, with a trans cooler, and I always towed in drive.
This photo was taken in 1992.
