Speed Record
Did I hear that the Lucas Oil team is going to attempt the speed record? I thought I heard that during the live stream of the race.
|
What record?
|
I read something where they said that they think 200 is doable in a V..
SOTW... http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...ew-safety-pods "We're trying to create a V-hull with the advantages of a catamaran but without the safety disadvantages of a cat," Hook said. "Our main goal is stability—high-speed stability. One thing we would like to do is go after the V-bottom speed record. I don't think 200 mph is out of the question in a monohull. |
The commentators said they're going to go after the speed record that is now held by the outerlimits as we'll know. Mentioned using 1650s for power.
|
It would be cool to see. Twisted metal shredded them yesterday.
|
Yea twisted metal was running strong. With the turn buoy for a few laps! :lolhit:
|
That too. Even with the 1 minute penalty they still won by more than a minute. That boat was Rollin!
|
What does Lucas Oil run speedwise with 1075's in it? OL SV43 runs what with 1075's, 150-155 mph? Should give an in the ballpark comparison for hull efficiency, and what 1650's will do knowing what the SV 43 did.
|
I'm not really sure what they're capable of speed wise now but, 155 seems high to me. I believe that hull is heavy. Been wrong before though. Someone on here is sure to have a better idea.
|
If Lucas oil has Mercury 1075 SCI how did it run in the extreme class. Didn't the class rules change to carb non efi to keep the cost down.
