Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected].

Cruising along at 200 MPH, all it takes is one little ripple in the water — a slight breeze, a trout, an errant leaf on the surface, anything, really — to send your boat flipping and asploding into a thousand pieces. A rather amazing sequence of photos here by Mark Rebilas of James Ray's drag boat losing it during a race at Firebird Lake in Phoenix, Ariz. There's nothing that says "I came in second" quite like the photo below..
