2 New Heat Racing records set at District 8 Race - May 28, 2011
District 8 held a race at Lake Waughop this past weekend, and for this race, they setup a fully measured, legal 1/6th mile course and had official timing setup.
SO... as a result, our P-Limited Hydro and P-Limited OPC races this weekend were able to establish new heat racing records for you guys to target.
For P-Limited Hydro, the record has been established by me with a 1:22.11, running a Raptor Hydro, H10 Prop, and UL1 motor, on a Castle Barracuda 125 ESC. Should be at least another 6-seconds or so in that record for someone to chew away.
Brian actually broke the existing P-OPC record with his Top Speed 3 P-Limited boat. Old record was 1:52.xx, his new record is 1:46.xx. Should be more in that one as well. Conditions weren't ideal, but that's where we got.
I tried to better the P-Limited Hydro record in the 3rd heat, but ended up touching a buoy exiting 2 (had to pinch down tight to avoid a dead boat), which broke the booms on the boat and I couldn't get it fixed for heat 4. Had a different prop that added about 5mph to the boat and it was rippin! We'll get her fixed up and give it another go another time.
So, there you go guys... Go for it!!
