    just a little vid i had.granted no race chop, the boat can turn much faster. those were tighter turns than on an oval.

      I'm really excited so many people have engaged in this spirited debate. I appreciate everyone's thoughts, dings, criticism etc... I respect how much time you big time toy boat racers have put into this hobby. I can't imagine how much time and patience it took to get to the aforemntioned levels of
      perfection and excellence. Many thanks, BD

            I missed all that "aforemntioned" ing? Was there a claim of perfection from somebody in this thread? I totally missed that.

            What ever man. Don't ask questions if you don't want input. You asked "how can my 90mph cat lose?" It was a leading question that readers were supposed to conclude "I can't lose. If I raced I would clearly win every time". I told ya how it's not that easy and now I'm the a$$? Nice.

            Enjoy running by yourself.

            Sorry Doug. I'm done now.

              I think its safe to say there will be a bunch of newly sanded bottoms out in the water today for testing...

Just out of curiosity, with the right driver how would a 90+mph cheetah ever lose any oval race. the boat is know to turn with the best of them.

                      Really?

                      We get it. You have a fast Cheetah. Is it the fastest in the world? Who knows, not everyone with a toy boat participates on forums. However, don't think that because you have a fast commissioned built boat, you are on the par with the experience in this thread.
