[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1164824, member: 434"] Unlimited Hydroplanes race in my city and one of the teams had a serious collision with another boat in a heat race leaving the left sponson seriously damaged. [IMG]https://madisoncourier.com/SiteImages/Article/84832a.jpg[/IMG] Keep in mind these boats run a Chinook helicopter turbine at over 100% and do over 200 mph. To fix it the team [URL="https://madisoncourier.com/main.asp?SectionID=18&SubSectionID=289&ArticleID=84832"]applied liberal amounts of bondo in about a 30-40 minute period[/URL] (helped by people from other teams....that's how this sport rolls) and came back to win the final race! [URL="https://media.tri-cityherald.com/smedia/2014/07/27/21/26/1rF0j0.AuSt.13.jpeg"]Picture of patched boat racing[/URL]. Back to the collison...I'm just finding [MEDIA=youtube]iItWp6Plg00[/MEDIA]. The driver in the yellow boat (nicknamed by some as Darth Villwock) [URL="https://www.tri-cityherald.com/2014/07/27/3081568/villwock-vilified-by-other-h1.html"]was disqualified[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
