Whats It like? Epic Showdown Onboard vid
 
Take 20 min. lock the door....go big screen an turn it up loud.

You know that feeling..the one you try and explain to your non-boating friends. Running hard hang'n it out well here's a 4 lap view from our seat in High Definition.

"Lift for a second and that where you'll finish"

Wow that had me wanting to lift a couple of times. Time for the lizard to cough up for more hp.

Great video, the 11 minute to 12 minute mark was awesome and got my anxiety going.

FunHome 12-12-2012 05:58 PM

AWESOME!! Thanks for Sharing!!!

Who ever put together the video did a great job!!

Cash Bar 12-12-2012 07:02 PM

OUTSTANDING video gentlemen !! Kudos to the entire team for the hard work it takes to make that video(and battle) possible.

That is very likely the best onboard video I have ever seen.

The video was so intense that I paused it 1/2 way through the first lap to get my kidney belt. :poopoo:

I hope we get to see more like that. And I would PAY to hear the onboard audio from the cockpit. I'm sure it's nice and relaxed and civil. :party-smiley-004:

Intense video!!! If Geico was running the same power it looks like they would have outrun Gasse.

Kings11 12-12-2012 07:22 PM

Turbo lag is very evident going down the stretch for sure.

cowisl 12-12-2012 07:47 PM

Awesome! Thank you.

Have viewed this site for a long, don't post much, but this video had me going! As a very, very, very, old racer i was into it!

Put me behind the wheel i would have had the turn bouy's, spectator boats, springstien, and gasse screaming like a little girl. Put me behind the throttles i would have had the engines and driver screaming like a little girl.

Thanks so much for the best oso video i have seen. Pick up some power next year and i'm sure you will be back on top.

tunertech 12-12-2012 08:26 PM

any way to get this piece of video.. would love to use this as an internal motivational piece for the traders.. raise that adrenalin. a "you want it" sort of thing.:evilb:

aquaholic58 12-12-2012 10:29 PM

For sure. Especially now that Mercury finally admits that it's 1350 is actually 1700+.

Just a minor oversight...lol

15:34 to 15:38 I can not believe running like that while basically blind from the water. I guess if you can't see, you know they are still in front of you and not stopped?

Also, what was in the water at the 19:34 mark that you ran over? Looked like a small mooring buoy or a beachball.

Awesome video.

MissGeicoRacing 12-14-2012 08:56 AM

befu, it was a mooring bouy

MissGeicoRacing 12-19-2012 08:23 AM

So glad you guys were able to get the feeling that we have when running all out. Believe me there wasn't an ounce of power left in our boat. We love that you guys picked up the the nuances like tail spray killing visibility, the boat sliding on high speed turns and the sloppy windswept conditions blowing both boats around. Just think thats only 4 laps out of a normal 12-4.

2013 should be a super year with Gasse/Geico /Qatar/Cintron all pushing hard for wins.

Happy holidays

I really loved the way your pilot took the tightest inside line of all the boats on your turn buoys, well except for right at 12min when they closed the door on the inside line and made you take it wide through their wake to the outside. WAY TO GO!!!
OMG, that would just have to be a ton of fun competing out there.
Good luck next season and make that Lil Lizard pony on up for some of that new power, LOL!!!

See ya,
Kelly
