    It has been a (quite a) few years since I was around limited hydros (in Buffalo). Dad raced them from the 1930's through the 1950's. When ever there was a race, the whole family was there, Dad, Mpm, and my sisters. Always had a blast! Steve, you will get hooked on hydroplane racing. 🙂 Oh and the tories about Valley Field.....

It could Run 24/7 with it fully loaded without it ever stopping the process. They must have had a nice job for it to get something like that just in the corner or it's a backup for another.
    Also that limited Hydroplane wow. they are a something that isnt a sport for those who are afraid to commit lots of time and resources. Bloody hard work for those engines as well, intermittent WOT loads, long duration races and water everywhere just to test things out.

  • @kx454
    @kx454 Před 18 dny

    So for anyone interested....This boat is considered to be a 3-point hydro (hydroplane). When the boat is at race pace it will only be touching the water at three points. The rear of the two sponsons (just in front of the skid fin) and the prop are the only things that are touching the water. The rear of the boat should be "floating" at race pace. The wing (canard) adjusts the attitude of the boat. It will crate lift in the straights so the boat is loose on the water and downforce in the turns. A driver can let her dance on the straights by running loose, but it can turn into a yard sale. Watch some videos of these in action....it is a hoot.
