    WOW!!!! Your bucket doesnt break???..... thats interesting to say the least. I don't use a launch controller.....don't need to! When I start, I open the bucket until I feel it load and the close the bucket.....Whack the throttle at "..." and away we go!

    . there's a lot more to it than just buying pieces, bolting 'em in, and tossing it out there.

    Now Walt....I know that everybody that is not from Pennsylvania is not near as fast or near as smart as you, so I'll clarify the above statement.
    I start my boat at the blinking yellow. When it fires, I open the bucket and leave it open until I feel the boat start to creep forward. I then close the bucket and wait for the countdown to start.
    When the countdown starts, I open the bucket AGAIN on my chosen number, whack the throttle and away we go.

    Understood. So in the case of a jet boat that need to load the pump, they use launch controllers to load the pump before they really get on the gas? I guess its a trial and error thing to set the launch controller to get the boat to leave right then figure out what number on the clock to leave at?
    :argue:
    If you load it wrong and have the wrong equipment or you are new to this sport,
    This can happen

    I thought what you said was pretty easy to interpret.

    So who wins, he who gets to the finish line first or he who has the best 1/4 mile time? I know in car racing its he who gets to the finish line first. In a holeshot win, the winner gets to the finish line first but has a higher et. Is there holeshot wins in boat racing?
