Re: Other Speed Record Breakers Are Available!
Dave Warby is back on Blowering Dam with "Spirit 2", which is using the same powerplant as a big blue boat. Video footage on the Warby Motorsport - Spirit 2 website.(Video has been 'shared' on to Speed Record Club facebook page).

The water was very choppy and coverage suggests that was the limiting factor on this occasion.

Wowee! That gets along. I bet that lumbering old bus of ours doesn't go like that.

Re: Warby's Spirit of Australia II
Perhaps all the better for that as the Loch is not as long as Blowering, although both has a dam.Renegadenemo wrote: ↑Sun Jun 03, 2018 11:51 am I bet that lumbering old bus of ours doesn't go like that.

Spirit 2 powering off into the distance, jaw dropping and beautiful....
Re: Warby's Spirit of Australia II
Converting the Orph to an electric starter/generator, has made a huge difference. So easy to spin the engine up. We have 36volts (3 x 12v batteries) in the boat for the starter and the generator tops them back up while the boat is running.
A couple of issues to solve before the next run but with 200mph on the clock, we are happy with the staged progress and we will push the speed up a little more during the next visit to Blowering.
A very wise man once told me..."Softly, softly catch the monkey."
