A lightweight, high-powered racing boat used in drag boat racing competitions.
Compound word from 'drag' (racing competition) + 'boat.' Term emerged in mid-20th century American motorsport vocabulary when enthusiasts adapted drag racing principles to water vessels.
Dragboats are absolutely wild—some can reach 200 mph in a quarter mile, and the drivers experience G-forces comparable to fighter pilots, all in a sport most people have never heard of.
