I heard one of the Honda's Totally lost their engine! Notsure where as didnt see that while out on the water and we were close to the action and the short course marker buoy. Another lost its engine cover, i think this was DQ'd for racing with less qeight than the others...stupid rule.

Is it the extra ballast JF is carrying?

I dont think that JF has super chargers on his boat, where as Roger Severey does. He's spent ages improving it and slowly building its speed up through a number of changes.

Jackie had an awesome race on sunday winning the super sport class by a long long way. Shame about the saturday race as its nice to see a British Boat doing well, hope she does really well this year. Got some good pics of ARPRO up in the air - Ben will post these later. Good race though.

Jackie and Mike came second on Saturday - but only because they had to keep the speed within the limit!
They also won the Supersport class overall for the weekend - well done!

Well you will have to educate me cause I'm damned if I can see where the water pick ups are and I was getting real close to see and getting hard looks from the drivers. Didn't think it was the right time to ask as they were all about to go in the water. Got some good pics though.

Intakes are now in the front of the bullet (arrow) as opposed to the old days when they were on the side of the casing (Yellow Block mark)
Edit: on the underside of the bullet to be precise, tiz about 5" difference to what we knew and loved
