OMG they are insane, its boat bumper cars! These people would really benefit from a Tres class, holy crap!

Where do I sign up? Looks fun as hell and a high probability of death!

CDShack 09-12-2014 04:19 PM

That was crazy!!! Just looks like mass confusion and a checkered flag. Thanks, I've never seen that before!

You should see the old tri-hulls racing. Madness

Wow......just Wow! That's got to be fun though!

Looks like that Canadian poker run link, but with safety gear.

ChrisK 09-12-2014 05:43 PM

oh HELL no..

Wobble 09-12-2014 08:01 PM

I have been thinking about trying the tri-hull, it's a big deal down here. They do have decent safety requirements

Smarty 09-12-2014 09:43 PM

That is a great video, I agree I would love to race in that division, affordable, wild, competitive....

The Honda series looked insane. If you didn't get run run over after spinning out and getting tossed out someone was trying to take your arm off in a collision. Looks like hella fun!

Sorry, never thought I would hear Honda (four stroke) and insane in the same sentence. What has outboard racing come too?

I guess it is hard for me to swallow after the badass merc 2.5 and all the old OMC 2 strokers that would most likely bury these 4 pokes.

Who ever desiged those pieces of chit should be made to drag their own gallow up the hill and tie their own noose . I love the way if they don't spin out they just lay over on their side for a 100 feet until they eventually do spin or the driver gives up.

Put those motors on a nice 22-24 cat and that would be fun and about a 100 times safer than those spinning out rolling over tossing drivers and running them over slowvees.

You want to throttle or drive?!

Crude Intentions 10-13-2014 10:43 AM

No turbines and a one man crew.

johnmiffco 10-13-2014 01:12 PM

down here the tri hull racing is what I call "stupid fun"
I built the hulls
modified glastron 166" bottom
with a single driver enclosed top deck with racing fairing and sides foam filled for side impact
there is lots of better vidios from shore showing how much air they get
down straights,,,,
blast to drive
