Hey J -

Yes, this was an extreme version of the Shamu splash zone.

Hope you are still having a blast with your sailing. Sounds like it was a fun summer for you.

I fear that the power of a sonic boom... if that car ever hooks would explode the tires and rear end in seconds

I haven't had a chance to get back out, lately. What with school starting and all...I hope to get out at least once more before it gets too chilly.....but then.....the lake doesn't freeze over until January...and the river, never freezes....

....I could go sailing when it's snowing in early December!

But anyways - that is freakin' cool, being so close to the wall like that! Do you go to those events/shows often?

It'll take some time sorting the chassis out, but I hope the tires and rear end last at least a few runs... They should.

When I can. Couldn't do LOTO this year since we were demo'ing the Unmanned stuff at the same time. Try to go when there is time, but not so much lately. I'll be up at the shop next week a little.

Busy is good, though.

I can't remember if I posted this yet. It was sent to the shop by a spectator. This is the Aqua Mania boat doing a 120 mph fly-by. Doesn't get any closer than that...

WOW x 2

That had to have been cool as $#!^ to be right there as a spectator

Its a good thing your getting these parts tested out with as high as your going on power and torque so when the rest of us get the nerve to get at your level. We have parts we know are durable and will last

Yikes ! That's crazy .
In the '91 Manhattan OPT race we hit something that busted our 35 Jaguar's gimbal and tie bar . I finished the race by throttle steering and to this day am amazed we didn't sink due to fact the drive bellow held up .
I'm glad you're projects are going well and wish you the best .
I'm getting ready to winterize the Fountain and get back on the Chris Cat restoration . I'm just dyin' to get my Chris wet again .

Cool stuff. Definitely want to see some pics of your Chris Cat as it progresses. That is like the start of the modern catamaran...

speedster,
Are you flying to CA this weekend or next? I'm really excited to see the vids of your car. You must be really psyched.

Yeah, pretty stoked right now. Fly out of Orlando around 7 am tomorrow. Road tune tomorrow and finish up Satruday with some FUN time just cruising - a little PCH or the canyons. There may be a couple of small traction issues to inspect along the way... By the time we are done they will be true pZEROs.
