RushDragBoat, LLC Racing Team
518 Pro Eliminator Hydro
815 Mod Eliminator Hydro


After twelve successful racing seasons, RushDragBoat, LLC is racing the 2009 season.
In the 2008 season, with Wade Wallace driving the Hondo in the 10 sec class, came in third in the KDBA points.
Wade has tried to find a driver for the Hondo but no takers, so he plans to put the Kurtis 500 together for 2009 season.
The Kurtis will run the 9 sec class in 2009 with KDBA.
David LoGalbo will stay on as backup driver and crew chief.
John Wallace hopes to get time from his busy schedule to drive the Kurtis.
A $25.00 donation will get your name on the RushDragBoat, LLC trailer for the season.
