Single F hydros/Twin F Hydros

[julianconde]

For about two decades they ran the Indy Unlimited. There was only ONE class, everyone could only bring ONE boat and there was only ONE first place trophey.

If I thought enough Twins would show up we'd just run TWINS! A massive TWIN FUEL HYDRO FEST!!!!

Point taken enjoy your race..

Looking forward to seeing you again Andy. SAW will be a little less challenging since we got rid of the SKI JUMP! Plus we have added the 1/4 mile oval to our venue.

 

[Andy Brown]

Cool! I'll miss the Ski jump! Now if you could just get the lake down to Sea Level. Not asking for much? LOL

Nothing like running at sea level, we do twice a year.

 

[Blaise Recca]

Too many classes already. Run what you got or sit on the sides. No need to dumb down a class just so you feel more at ease with the water conditions. How about improving you boat to run in actual current race conditions.

 

[Blackout]

What elevation is Huntsville at?

Thanks.

 

[bzubee]

If I remember right it's around 500 feet.

 

[Andy Brown]

If I remember right it's around 500 feet.

I think 600' Bill....@ the airport. Anyway I lose about 4% in speed from here (60' elevation) to there. With the same boat I ran 126 in Virginia (sea level), 121 in Huntsville (600') and 125 at Legg Lake (200').

Our SAW Lake it at sea Level Andy but its a bit on the Short side

Just need some good accelleration. The Top Fuel boats are hitting 240 mph in 1000'.

I think record trail attendence should be limited to one event per year per member.

I Think we have 600 ft at best

Oh, that looks like 600' run up. I don't think Franklin ,Va is much better than that. It squeeses down too, making the L to R pass the most difficult. And Legg Lake is a bit difficult on the Left to right....also squeezes down due to the island in the back straight.

Or at lease put a limit on the number of records they can set in a calander year.

I get tired of typing some of their names. :lol: :lol:

Our right hand end is short, would 500 feet at the best...( i think more like 450)

There you go Doug. I knew there was a Selfish slant to that.

But seriously. Some guys live 1000 miles away from the nearest record event. Some guys have the best record facility within a one hour drive of the house.

That 1000 miles equates to $500 worth of fuel vs. 20 bucks worth...not to mention other travel expenses and travel time...days off of work.

There is a reason that most of the record holders live relatively local to a good record trial facility.
