Mike tried to let off the throttle, but it was too late as the bottom of the boat had become a wing, lifting and flipping the boat upside down, until the nose hit the water. This redirected the boat the other direction, corkscrewing due to the high speeds until it hit the water cockpit first. Both the driver and the throttleman escaped under their own abilities, but the throttleman was already injured on the scene. He would pass away the Tuesday after the race due to complications. The race was an "outlaw" race, as races to 2023 were unsanctioned. Starting in 2024, the event is an APBA/UIM sanctioned event.
