Iit sounds like they don't lift through the turn here but the motor drops R's from the drag of the turn. Am I right? Anyone.... Gordy, Wldchild 80, Boat Ace, Terminal Velocity???
Windsor a few years ago (http://www.v-drivevideo.com/movie1/race3.wmv)

Jerry you put a little pressure on the down turn the wheel and turn fins take the boat right around the turn

That's good stuff. I can see the #70 putting the nose down on entry then lettin' it fly at the exit.
I need to get my dumbass-stuck-in-Dallas self to the races. Never seen 'em in person, except for the drags in Fort Worth last year.

That's what i was thinking watching it. Haven't been able to get to Windsor to race :cry: but the rooster doesn't budge after Ty or Gus set it with the plate, only time the rooster comes down is when they're lifting the plate. Sounds like the motor is pinned!
Ty, how bad did San Diego hurt the 70 boat? Will you guys have that one ready for Phx or bring back out the other boat? Also how hard were you on it when you hit the bar? Did it stop quick?

Cool video Jerry, In a SS you never lift on a big course unless you want to lose

You sure get some good footage Jerry. I've got a ton of ski race footage, but none of it is near as good as yours. Thanks! :D

The SS-501 boat is a Revenge hull, while the SS-70 is a Canary. I hope that helps.
