I don't see/hear anything blowing up???

Its hard to see in the video but you could see watching from shore, a ton of smoke starts pumping out of the starboard engine.

Something is hurt, No doubt.

You see the smoke, what let go ?

You can see smoke out of starboard engine against the white of the prop wash.

And this was a new engine they installed for the Sunday race, correct? Imagine getting 2 miles out of a new 1200 Merc? UGH...

Ah, I see it now...

That sucks... On a positive note, it was impressive watching the engine replacement on Sat. It took your team less time to replace the engine then it would for me to figure out the crane on the semi. Awesome set up guys, best of luck!

Anybody know what happened to it?

Little smokey coming back in on Sunday.

Not good it was really fogging out the starboard side... bummer - Jim

WHAT? Mercury's slogan is "The race never ends" Maybe so for the other guys... ;)

Bummer. Thanks for all that the GEICO crew does for offshore racing.

holy crap go back and watch the video after that one of the spirit of qatar front cam and look how close he got the the geico boat. looks like thay where going to hit...

Scotty,
Any insight into why ya'll scattered 2 engines in 2 days? Just curious what went wrong.
Thanks
Eddie

you can heat it in the tone of the engines that they got hurt..sounds like they never let off the throttle over any of the waves

Rubbin is racin , jus no donuts on the sides . :lolhit:

Shoulda run Lucas!! lol he made the race on about 4 cylinders I think. Outta what 24 total?

Welcome to the real world! :) Glad Everyone is safe after a week of racing and poker runs. Best of luck in future races ! Jim

Through good and bad, at least you guys always have the right attitude!

Yeah..but your still the hometown favorites!! Good luck in the future..hopefully the gremlins will be gone by the next race!

Most likely the next powerplants wont have all kinds of springs, lifters, valves, pushrods, pistons, rods, rockers, etc, so they should be ok :party-smiley-004:
