Guys, I took a couple pictures and a couple short video clips this past weekend in Stuttgart Germany for an International FSRV endurance race. It was a first for me, and it was very interesting. I had a great time and met a lot of cool people.
This first video is of a 15cc "qualifier" start, these guys have got starting these big engines down to an art!! They start the race from a dead start in the pits, then toss them in the water and run for 20 minutes trying to get as many laps as possible. I was told by our very own Bart Drieghe that his 15cc boat runs through 3-4 liters of fuel in the 30 minute main event. Thats a GALLON of fuel in your boat, for one race! The tanks are huge! The main events were held on Monday and I was not able to attend.
