[Darin Jordan]

Here is a GREAT overview of the Munich SAW event that was posted on the European site:

Love seeing records on 1P, thats cool!

I don't know of any hydro (rigger) records set running 2P. My N2 and P boats were 1P. Tyler's hydros are all 1P.

Can't tell you about the cat or mono records.

All the Offshore and Sport Hydro records I've set over the years with LiPos have been 1P. Modern low resistance cells can work well running 1P, the weight penalty offsets any small voltage increase. Most of my oval boats run 1P, from N-2 to T.

The cat that ran 149, was it a single or a twin drive?

[T.S.Davis]

Wow, that site is perfect for any kind of race.

No worries if you lose one either. You can see all the way to the bottom from 20' above the water.

Markos HPR 150 "Miss Geico" is a twin drive, powered by 14S 5000mAh per motor. The boat reached average speed of 146.37mph, a fastest pass of 149.93mph and an unbelievable GPS speed of 151.18mph. Last weekend he ran it again on a "fun" meeting in Dessau with a GPS top speed of 154.1mph verified by a Holux 245 ProSport as well as a live telemetry system with GPS. I am confident the boat has without doubt the potential to run over 250km/h. By the way a guy not far away from Legg Lake also has such a "cruise missile" in his collection - might be cool if you guys also get a class to run those things.

If you are interested in Markos boat for all the guys registered on Facebook, HPR Powerboats has a Facebook fanpage:

In the next days there will be updates from Markos boat but I think as a boat enthusiast its worth to follow the site anyway.

For now I will just GPS race Marko, until next year when the wife forces me to go to Germany.

Hopefully they schedule the two races as they did this year, one free weekend in between.

As for updates only ran mine one time so far back in April with 14s with a best GPS of 147mph in not so ideal water.

Ps HPR 150 on 12s 119mph on a very mild setup, best sport boat available imho,,,, turns at speeds in the 50 mph range with ease and runs in the roughest water you could imagine.
