ride in a race boat

[MiloMorai]

This class of boat uses a 2300cc stock Pinto motor. The speeds on the left are in kph. The white/pink boat is driven by a female.

From gun sound to start of the race is 5 minutes.

There is a canard (elevator) at the front of the boat to set the attitude the boat runs at.

The race was stopped because a boat flipped.

You do 75mph or more on the freeways don't you? Lots of idiots on the freeways.

Beginning of the year, always had a sore neck. At the end of the year, neck/head was at an angle.

[morfiend]

Are they using the Hines device to restrain the neck like in most car racing?

The F1 car drivers do all sorts of neck strengthening exersizes,doing 5+ g’s in the corners has to take it’s toll.

There’s been talk of using some type of G suit as some drivers have experienced grey outs.

[MiloMorai]

We did, depending on how tight the turn, some crazy Gs.

Some drivers, especially the GP drivers, use neck restraints. That is for for/aft head movement not side movement.

[morfiend]

The GP drivers have a strap on both sides of the helmet that limits some of the side to side movement. It attaches the helmet to the device then the harness shoulder straps hold the device in place. Yes they still have some movement as they need to use those tiny mirrors but it doesn’t allow full movement side to side.


The bounce that some of the cars have this year is being monitored and if it exceeds certain G limits it’s going to be deemed unsafe.

GP as in boat GP.

[morfiend]

Ahhh sorry thought you meant GP as in Grand Prix.

Still some impressive G’s on water,like most things on water I bet it feels like more!

Like driving on rough dirt.

The white/pink boat with the female driver won her class.
