JBS in Miami
 

Well it was rough in Miami.we wasted no time getting the lead and checked out like usual.we had reports of a small delamination that never got worse until the last lap and not a few seconds later experienced heavy vibrations and an explosion of water through the drivers side of the boat ending our race.nobody was injured.stay tuned for more developments and watch out for the crooks at Tow boat US.

Great run jeff Working On all photos From Race All posted Tonite Freeze Frame

Isnt this the second delamination on the boat??

What caused the water to enter through the drivers side of the boat and what was the cause of the heavy vibration?


The pic's that followed my post, answered my question as to where the water came in from and probably what caused the vibrations. Sorry to see and hear this, as you guys at JBS Racing are awesome.

Sorry to hear this, Jeff. You and Joey looked great out there.

Rick (rchevelle71) sent me these to post.

Yikes. They are lucky that thing didn't go under. :eek:

That looks like a little more than just "delamination"! Catastrophic failure maybe?

Very unfortunate... Obviously the "I will take the skin off a burning man for $9k " people where "Tow Boat Biscayne" so all the member should act accordingly...

You guys were running like rapped apes, hope you'll be back soon...

from shore!

Sorry to hear this Jeff.
OUCH :mad:

From the pics that I took, and others that I have seen, it was driven several laps with some delamination, I was counting laps for another team in a different class so I wasnt paying much attention to the cats early on, although I did get a pic(poor quality), from lap 1, and it didnt appear to have delam at that point. I stopped counting laps after 3.5(we pulled out of the race), and started taking pics again, at that point, the delam. appeared in my first pic I would say JBS was on lap 4 or 5 at that point, and they nearly finished the race, so it was driven 5-6+ laps with minor delam(judging from what I can see in the pics, but who knows what was going on below water level), then finally blew out at the end.
