Piston Power wins at Evansville
 

U3 Master Tire with Mitch Evans driving with a Allison won the seasons 1st Unlimited Hydroplane race:D :D

Steve David did not qualify for the final..:( :(


First piston win since '89

Cool about the piston engine, hope they keep them factored in to run with the turbines, bet it was a show

Damn! That's sweet!

Steve will definitely have some essplainin' to do!

Here's the sweet power plant.

The average speed for the 5 lap final was 140.5 over the 2+ mile closed river course. The Bud lost it's prop before the start of the final and was a DNS.

damn awsoem to hear about the piston win!!!!!!! Those allisons are trick!

as for steve david. I'm sure he'll get in the groove. Aren't they/he in an entirely new boat this season.

puder, yes he is in a new boat. I hope it's just a little adjustment in the setup. I know he is expecting to be a lot more competitive this season.


Miss Bud lost a prop? I know it's a drop in the bucket for them, but that has to cost as much as a engine for me.

I read one time that a prop for a hydro was around $20,000.

Damn, my whole team would be out there with scuba gear for $20K. Was Bernie in charge of the prop nut?

Bernie passed away a little while ago.
Awesome that a piston craft won. It has been a long time. :cool:
