    Safety net.

    We got great service and excellent value from these guys:



    Bought 700' x 3' of "#21 x 1-3/4" Square Cut Nylon Netting" (hangs nice) for $630 plus shipping.

    They make whatever you need and price by the sq. foot.

          Ever seen a boat come ashore at full song? Netting goes a LONG way to keep racers and spectators out of the ER when the inevitable happens.

          That's a great price Terry. I spent twice that for less netting prior to the Spring Nats this year. We needed to replace some that was 20+years old.

          Thanks for posting the link.

            Check out page 53 of the June Roostertail. This is an example of what a race site should look like.


            Nice work Mike.

              I told Don to stretch the picture so I look skinnier, not fatter. LOL

                Fair enough, I was just being cheeky.

                  I know... And our boats run fine. The drivers are usually the ones out of control....

                    Now the title has been changed it makes sense :-)
                    Anyone have footage of a boat hitting a net. Not sure I want to see it but in a sense I do.
