Hi All,
Just wanted to let some people know about our recent 2-lap trials here in Australia.
We run 500m (250m per lap) while the Yanks do 1/3 mile which is 533m.
My fastest time was 24.92sec with my Visioncraft 20, powered by an OZSPEC Nova 35 plus (14mm crank) This is pretty close to Ron Drakes rocord of 25.2sec for 1/3mile...if we average the speeds I was about 3km/h (1.5miles)slower
I was getting around 25.2sec most of the day, but my driving still needs a bit of work LOL, not bad considering I BLEW the conrod apart on Saturday arvo LOL, but thanks to an Early Start by Aaron at OZSPEC to rebuild it, I was back on the water the next morning.
This same boat has the Aussie record for SAW at 92km/h (57.5miles) with passes over 100km/h (62.5miles)
My electric version running 4S and a Neu 1515 1y was also knocking on the door, but only seemed to pull off 26.77sec, my on board Eagletree GPS said speeds were maxed around 88kph (55mph) but I only just put it back together the day before and hadn't tested it with this power for quite a while.
Cheers
Kris
