The person shooting the video knows Stampede has been there and knows that 90 degreee turn doesn't require but so much slowing down.....but the new guys in the cats had never been there and didn't know what to think when looking at nothing but trees just past the cameras location. Stampede jumped what was planned to be a pace boat, then everyone decided to go too. I know the gold/purple MTI owner who claimed he was running roughly 130 in the area this vid was taken........and was 7th. Note the acceleration of that 388 coming across the screen much faster than the rest, that thing has got to be scary fast!!!

This is a cut-n-paste of the answer I got when inquiring about the cat you see in the video going to catch Stampede:
Anchor Marina's new Skater 388 Widebody with 1500 Sterlings ruled the roost on the water. Piloted by Matt Trainer
The engines have 3 power settings. 1,100 HP, 1,400 Hp and 1,500 HP.
at 1,100 they can run on 93 octane.
1,400 HP required 106 octane
1,500 requires 113 or above.
They took delivery of 1,000 gallons of 106 octane when the boat first arrived and they've been breaking in the engines on 106 octane.
They reached 172 mph last week with about 1,000 rpm left to go running on 106 octane.
They're confident that boat will run a little over 205 MPH on 113 octane.

Engines are 1400 HP on 110 race fuel.
we have had it up to 172.
Not sure how much is left.
I do not think 205 is possible.....would not even try if it was
We are very happy with the boat, but still trying to get familiar with it.
Had a great time on the run....what a great bunch of people.

After he shot off in front everyone else just backed off and ran at about 100 with the pace boat, he knew where he was going. SS told us at lunch he backed off too after he saw no one come up. He has done the run before so was confident enough to stay out there, and make no mistake, that boat runs great, it was very impressive.

Thank you very much....I did not get many pics from the weekend, every time I tried to take one I had a beer in both hands ( after the run was finished and the boat was tied up).
