ABSTRACT:
A racer toy in which a pair of flat-bottomed boats each having an interior chamber which terminates in an opening at the aft end of the boat are launched onto respective side-by-side tracks from a launching tower having two water passages each extending from a source of water under pressure, such as a garden hose, to a respective nozzle dimensioned to be releasably held in sealing engagement within the aft opening of a respective boat. Each water passage is initially closed by a hand-operated valve which when opened allows pressurized water to flow into the interior chamber of a respective boat and thereby propel it along the track. The tracks are lubricated with water to reduce friction and to cause the boats to hydroplane as they speed along the tracks.
