    Ok .. What a day!
    Our Racing (or demo derby for boats ) started at 11:30 and things did not start well. We all new the track was gonna be tight . Out of the first 16 boats to hit the water only 3 actually made it back onto the trailer under there own steam!... We were one of those 3 but by the time we hit the water the other boats had emptied out most of the water out of the track and we had unknowingly damaged out skegs (two small fins under the back of the boat) that help hold on, in the corners.
    The Racing was put to a halt by the organisers for 2 hours as it was clear the track was not useable and a lot of the boat owners we spoke to were going to pull the pin because they wanted there boats to last the hole season and the track was proving the be hard on the boats.
    To the credit of the organisers there was a long reach digger on hand to sort it out and two huge pumps were hurried in to sort out the water level problems.
    Racing resumed (with still only half the boats having hit the water..)
    The track rotation was changed to make things safer and flow better. Our next outing was a disaster soon learning that out skegs had gone we spun out on a straight bit of the track...
    This was also due to the waves bouncing around the track that normally dissipate on most tracks
    ENZED Jet Sprint Nationals Round 2 Baypark - THE BLACK PEARL - YouTube

    After changing the boat set up (Nozzle up to dig the ass in ) we were back on track ... Well so we thought!
    Our next run went well up till not far from the finish line we spun out again...... Another nozzle adjustment and sorted!
    Due to the Massive amount of crashes on the day they ran low on time and cancelled out 4th qual and also the top 12 shootout and went straight to the top 8... We were let in with our first run even tho it was not the new rotation.
    We were also told that the top 5 would be canned so the top 3 times of this round would go thru only so it was time to hit the gas hard with very little practice on the track...
    Our Last run was a good one until the finish line were we flew out at the timing wire and slammed semi sideways into a haybale (as in the you tube clips I posted earlier.) unfortunately the damage we sustained may be terminal for the jet unit and may put us out for the next meet (or the season) Im still waiting for news on dissection.. but am not expecting good news..
    Will keep you informed...... Next meet is Meremere on the 9th Feb...

    Cheers for the support People
    I will get some Gopro footage as soon as I can but we forgot to turn it off and it filmed for 30mins before the battery went flat so I have to edit it before making it public

    2SK, is the bit you need to edit out, the. Bit where the Tui's girls that Dundee sent up visit you in your caravan?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    700HP would be quite a roar not far behind your seat.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
