It's crazy to watch those boats in person. They corner so flat and so fast and the roost they throw will put any #6 to shame!
 
Wow, is that deck...heck, the whole boat, flexing as much as it looks in that vid? Maybe just the camera lens distorting from the speed\air pressure?

Great video for sure.
 
Wow. That was fvckin' awesome. Those things haul azz, and turn unbelievably. I'll bet it's one exhilarating ride!

:cool:
 
WOW. How fast?

160

on the driver, it doesn't get any better than having Mr. Steve David make a comment like this:

Let me add that Mike not only proved himself worthy of an Unlimited "seat", I believe he will be one of the sports top contenders for many years to come. He has the skill, courage and personality to win races, help his sponsors and represent the sport well.

I would personally rather ride in a Skater at 160 than that thing. I know it has the whole pod safety design and all that....But still.....
 
Only thing I am missing is the G-forces going into the corner. I have the surround sound turned up so I get all the noise.

So I think what I will do is ask my wife to help me with this.

As I sit and watch this video one more time on my chair on wheels, when the boat hits the corner I will have my wife slam me into the wall. :bump:

It wouldn't be close to what they feel, but should add some more excitement to watching the video..... :driving: :cheers2:
 
Wow!
Always wanted to do a lap in an Unlimited! Thats a nice representation of what its like. Just wish the old days of the noise and rumble of the Allisons and Merlins could return. Watched them many years here in San Diego at BayFair and believe me when I say the sound of 5 or six of those on the course during a heat was frick'in awesome! Thats why they were called thunder boats!, these days as a spectator I call the Wushers!
Thanks for sharing!
