Default Chicago Skyline at 160 mph

I am having a blast with this camera from GoPro.
One of the best days ever on Lake Michigan running 40 miles in 20 minutes and for a while at 160 mph.

Love the sound man but it's hard to get a perspective with the one angle. Roost is out of control though!

That is sooo badass Brad! Next time you go to the city, you should pop into Diversey and see if Austin will come out and play with you in Warbird! The thread in the Chicago Powerboat section here about who's got the fastest 46 Cig will be fairly obsolete if two 160 mph cats got into it!

Suction cup held to 160. I did have a safety wire on it just in case. It does shake a bit at that speed. There was more speed in the boat I chickened out. I kept picturing a large cruiser wake coming my way. Aren't Cigarettes for smoking.
