With his pit area near the fishing pier at Lake El Reno, Matt Miller has a front row seat of sorts for most passes during the Smoke on the Water Drag Boat Races.

Yet when he has his head down working on his boat or being shuttled back and forth between races, the veteran El Reno driver is always listening to the races he can’t see.

“You can tell by the pitch of the motor how many RPMs they’re running if you’re really paying attention. You know when there’s a quick pass being made,” said Miller.

So why such a keen ear?
