    These drivers and specators are nuts.

    I didnt want to jump on the "Lake of the Ozarks Club" thread. But check out the video posted.



    They seem to be driving about 10 feet from the dock at very high speeds checking speed with the radar guns. I'm no Officer Joe the rc boat cop, but someones going to get hurt over there.

    I won't be driving any of my boats 10' from any solid object or a shoreline. I hope we don't have to be that close at the shootout.

      I could be wrong, depth is hard to figure from looking at a monitor.

        That violates so many NAMBA and IMPBA safety rules! I hope the event sponsors have their own insurance, because if someone gets hurt IMPBA and NAMBA would never cover it....

          I'm sure no ones thinking insurance until something bad happens. I can envision a hull digging in an taking a hard right.

                Last year a gas cat lost signal at a race and was headed straight at shore at 60 mph. Even though we were 8 feet above the water I still got out of the way. There is no way I would be on a dock like that with nowhere to go.

                          Full question is full of LOL's. Someone rightly said common sense is not so common.

                              These drivers and specators are really & undoubted nuts.They created something that shows that there will be nanotechnology engines soon, They are working hard on this also. Balances maintained was phenomenal.
