    Carrollton TX races - some clips

    All I can say is "WaaaaahOOOOOOO!" racing is more fun than any of the racers can tell you it is! I raced three boats, got third in Q open and 2nd in LSH.... not bad for first race in my life!! Thanks to Jay for sharin his shade and boat load of good tips, and to Jim for coachin' me through my last heat with the now retired Oberto (I got first place in that last heat!!)/ Also a big thanks to Todd (Clueless) for sharing his camper and good humor!

    Here are a few short vids I put together from our time at the Thunderboat races up near Dallas last weekend.

    T open vid. I am in the red Aeromarine XXX, Jay is driving the Blue Hurricane and Jim is in the Yellow one.

    Here is LSH vid. I am in the Oberto (my avatar), Jay Turner is in the yellow Insane, Mike Cox is the red Insane, Tom (help with last name) is in a white scratch built hydro with flames... chime in guys with names and descriptions of other boats.
    (note, I am uploading the LSH vid and it will be available soon.)

    Cool Jesse, thanks for posting! Actually the first video is T Open, not Q. Jesse's boat was very impressive as he really had not gotten it fully sorted out and was running a smaller prop than Jim and I were - but he still hung in there fine. I was driving another racer's mono and was mostly trying not to crash. Jim's yellow Hurricane has been fully setup and raced for at least 3 years - a great race boat.

    Racing in these heats made me want to finally finish building my own new T boat. Fun....
