www.ravenracingvideo.com Eagle Racing’s Dale Whiteside set a blistering pace in his unlimited race boat. His official time for the third leg of Sundays Riggins Idaho jet boat races was 5 seconds. This was an official record for time set during the racing event. His speeds were in excess of well over 100 MPH in the straight-aways. Climb aboard and hold on your going to get one hell of a ride! The camera footage was recorded with the Tachyon XC.
Great scenery, rivals Edward JenkinsNZ.
I was Dales navigator on this fun filled weekend, that record time we set on sunday was sure one hell of a ride!!! we were hitting 112mph downstream and 100mph up on the long pulls, the wings on the front help fly the boat out of the water to get a bit more top end but we didnt need to use them…
holy crap what was the depth on that first turn!!??? heh he started to do the chinese walk at 1:20. what was the depth at 2:34? lol the top of the boat is dusty.
Really nice video guys. Glad you left actual audio with the video. Hate it when a good video is dubbed over with some kind of music. Great video
@kdknitro That’s what I thought! Wild to see them in action and hear how it changes the pitch of the engine with the hull being lifted.
@SCRTpilot I don’t think they would give the bottom plans out for good reason since the company builds both race boats and family boats. Their hulls are replicated but never the same true design.
Are there free hull plans available for the RC builder?
Thanks.
That was fast!
@kansaskid6969 Average speed through the couse was 92.35 MPH. Well over 100+ in the straights. Time 5:09 and the course was 8.0 miles long.
how fast…..mph?
i want to try this
pretty cool seeing the air diverter in the front, bet you can trim her with those
pretty cool, i work on boats, cool to see the air diverters in the front move to push the bow around, i bet you can almost trim the boat with those
@bryanfunk I believe the course was a tick over 8 miles long. The racers have been known to run as close to the banks as possible sometimes due to the shallowness of the water, It will lift the boat up a little higher and their able to gain a little bit more speed. They can run as shallow as 6 inches of water.
how long was that course and how close can one get to the shore? or how shallow can the water be? some of those curves dont look more than a foot deep lol
great run
Dale, you made it look easy which is a real sign of mastery. Awesome run!
Whoa
wow
