Overview
- The crash occurred on April 26 during the Desert Storm Shootout in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, as the boat reached a radar-confirmed speed of 200.1 mph.
- Wind gusts and aerodynamic factors caused the boat to lift, resulting in a backflip and full rotation before it hit the water.
- Both drivers, using the aliases John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, walked away with minor injuries, credited to the boat’s reinforced safety design.
- Despite the crash, the boat registered the fastest speed of the event, securing the win and raising nearly $20,000 for charity.
- Freedom One Racing has announced plans to repair the vessel and continue competing in future events, emphasizing their philanthropic mission.
