New liquid 1/4 mile speed record anyone?


Na, that would be 303.806mph if it were kts!!! That WOULD be booking! 264mph ain't no leisurely stroll though!

Keep on mind, that's over 260 ON WATER!!!! Even more nuts, there's only ONE person who's done a 300 + mph pass on water AND survived. He's an Aussie by the name of Ken Warby, and his record of 317 mph (two way average) has stood for over 39 years!

OK, I know it can be done, but how do you embed the video?

These things are unbelievable in person. They are frigging LOUD but you "feel" them on a pass more than hear them. The blower winding up is louder than the open exhaust stacks!!! These boats ROCK and I guarentee you will not be sitting down when they fire one of these bad boys off !!! :icon_hornsup:
 
I actually had to check out a couple of his other runs. thought that first one might have been in km/hr and time only in 1/8 mile. Nope, that time is fast as fuel cars, mph down but that's truly nuts. Keep diging up the fun stuff!

I like the way it hops out of the water at the beginning.
 
You got to get the imbeded link and then make sure it says you tube at either end when you copy and paste it, I think that's how I did it?
Holy hell that's fast. I went to St Petersburg with a friend of mine many years ago to watch him race his 4cyl boat and get out in that nasty ass water and hold the boat when they craned them in a out before and after take off. If you've never been . I suggest you go aleast one time! I watched a v8 dingy flip at about 120 miles and hour and nothing was left on that boat! They had to dive for the motor!
