Default Onken Racing 217 mph Record Pass at LOTO, 360 degree view

Just in case there was any question as to when they smashed the gas, this 360 degree view is as clear as it gets. Congrats guys. I only wish I would have seen it run again. The boat is wicked.

I wish they could have made another run or two.It was still accelerating and I think it had more.

Don't think there was any issue with where the hammer went down, just maybe over 40 mph limit at the start line. They won their appeal.

Heard they hurt a piston in one motor and with the overturn and no one threatening them, they decided against another run. I too wish they had ran more as we go there to see the big boys put on a show. But I understand the money, effort, and risk involved and why additional runs for the crowd have to be carefully weighed.

Thats pretty damn cool, the roost is crazy at that speed every time it hops a little the change in the roost is so far back by the time you see it.

Not impressed with 360 view. Impressed with the run.
