Last IMPBA Records Trial for 2011

[mtruex]

Thanks guys! Had a lot of fun today, only got in a total of 4 runs with the 45 because of the wind all day. Set the record on run 2 this morning at 15.4 and then waited all day and then lowered the record to 14.89 on run 4 this evening. Boat is JAE motor is picco and prop was octura, there is definently more out there with better water conditions. Hoping and praying for good water for 1/3 mile attemps tomorrow but it doesnt look good.

 

[Chris Wood]

[mtruex]

Chris,

I have no secrets you know that. We have shared lots of info. Cut to 58mm 5.0 cup.

 

[Chris Wood]

i know just ribbin ya.

thanks man

any reason you just didn't go with a 1657?

 

[mtruex]

I just did it last night and put it on there. Didn't have any time to compare props, only had a couple runs, when the wind lays its a scramble to get on the water!!! I will say i have a 1657 cupped a LOT and its not enough load.

 

[Chris Wood]

Interesting. Must have alot less pitch progression than the 1657? I couldnt amagine that one mm would make that much difference

 

[mtruex]

Im sure it has more leading edge pitch but i will have to check it. I do not think it is the optimum prop yet, but it is pretty good. Hard to tell when its that rough, it was worse than what the video shows.

 

[Chris Wood]

Hmm. Well let me know if you get time to check it out. Congrats again. Any idea on what shoot speed was?

 

[Joe Warren]

Way to Go Martin & Julian Both Great RECORD Runs......

 

[julianconde]

Kroggs remember power to weight ratio I have a boat that is x2 maybe 4 times the weight and size of martin boat.But we both were hauling the mail. We have set some good records and we both are having a blast. That's what's it all about. We are still going to try to improve our times tomorrow. These Sholund props are getting the job done this roadrunner is smoking fast with CMB 101 RS power with zoom carburetors it's a rocket.

We will see what happens tomorrow

Julian

 

[Ian Inverarity]

Congratulations guys!

No magic here.......

Simple physics and the application of "Flat Plane Technology"...... <_<

 

[Tim Kish]

Awesome speed guys , something that takes a lot of work but I'm sure is very satisfying.

Curious , were did the 1\4 mile oval idea come from , we race 1/3?
