Thank you for the telemetry! As he was going about 172 MPH, (At about 6min into the video) you do see the boat going from side to side on the sponsons. That is as fast as you can go, before trouble occurs and it did. Awesome video. Back in the earlier days, the driver would have been ejected from the boat and suffer serious injuries. Glad they have an enclosed cockpit to keep them safe. My dad got tossed out of a smaller hydro back in the 50's and broke ribs in multiple places. That's when mom said to hang up his racing helmet as at there were 5 kids at home. Dad did that, but was involved in hydroplane racing until his passing.

Wow!!!! Amazinh

Love watching with telemetry

I love the telemetry on the video!

That's what I call a unbelievable ride glad he landed safely

Holy f*ck that is a code brown moment. That was incredible

Good to know the driver was not injured, too many drivers haven't had such luck. There's been a few flips like this (but not many) where the boat has landed upright. Takes big balls after something like this to get back in the saddle.

That was amazing!

I need new pants , i need new pants

Wow!!!

Was the engine still usable after the flip?

Oh yes.

are you f'ing kidding me!?

nice loop,,,,lets try a four point roll next time,,,

I wonder how much damage to the boat there was

I have high hopes for them this year with the flip and the disqualification because of a nonsense call in my book he had bad luck last year.
