it is a great day for the event. boaters, full speed ahead.
That’s it two boats, boring!!!!!!! lol.
Smh…
Who won the race ?
FB-16 ryan & andrew
That was an amazing event to watch off St. David’s Head! Close up with the ohhhs and the ahhhs! Out of the water kinda experience. More boats next year please!
Any reason none of the SD class boats, the E class boat, nor Fb class boats went by south shore?
This was the AROUND THE ISLAND boat race! If you didn’t see any of those boats cross south shore, it’s probably because you took too long to blink. lol & smh
try to teach de youts to slow dawn on de road but promote speeding on de wata… smeeerrt
This is a sport that is controlled by the marine police as well as race marshals to ensure the safety of the drivers as well as the spectators! The marshals and police cordon off areas that are for race participants only. These people on bikes are just speeding up and down, racing to go no where, while there is other traffic on the roads. If they want to speed up and down, let them put on the full body gear and go down to clearwater and race on the track! That is the difference
Jjjdarn. If u didnt see any SD or fb boat come cross. Ya eyes where closed. Cause a FB boat won the race
I couldn’t find it on the radio… Was it on there? If not, why not… We had to guess when they were coming by….
It’s the PLP’s fault.
Now these people can afford to pay more taxes Bob!
To bad its an expensive sport, because it is fun to watch especially up close! Powerboat racing has gone down hill ever since the helicopter days!
if rubis can fill up these powerboats then maybe now and then they could fill up my car
They’re willing to fill your car up any day of the week, just bring your wallet.
So the FB boat went around faster then the sd class witch left after FB?!! Sound like the times were fixed … Who comes up with the times? Or did they already kno they were faster then SD! And if he was doing the speed he said he was( 67) his time would have been alot slower!!!! Ps the onboard camera is showing me that his rpm was higher then what the manufacturer allows !! is it a stock class?? An dose the winning boat go threw an inspection to deem it legal?
1) The boat isn’t faster than SD. It ran a quicker time because it was more consistent. Bat boat > Phantom any day of the week… Oh, and the SD Phantom beat the FB Phantom by 2 minutes…
2) The course is only 52.XX miles long. Work out the average speed and come back to me.
3) RPM’s show 5000 on the video so not sure what you are looking at. Rated RPM is like 5800 for an etec.
Race head? Not!
Yes perfect day for me to go testing!! No one out there to race me… And I won’t get wet with this canopy!!!! D-941 all day!!
