Gents,
I went to one of these races way back in 1970 when I was a pilot in the Marines and spent some R&R time in Japan. At that time the boats were actually a "fleet" that were all owned by the same corporation..It may have been the stadium itself ? The drivers were assigned their rigs just before the start of the race in a lottery. I don't recall if they were allowed to "personalize" the set-up. They were "employees" much like jockeys in horse racing. The boats were supposed to be evenly matched and the betting was actually on the drivers. I remember that they weren't as fast as my old BU Rinker with a 20H. The course was very short and the action was pretty intense. Lots of chine banging and the boats looked heavy/industrial.
