[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1164848, member: 277"] Hill was a hydroplane drag racer and at one point had a 1/4 mile time record on water that was faster than the national land time record. At speed water turns hard and Hill broke enough bones to move back to land racing. When Oberto was making the championship run and was ~200 mph, how much pressure was on the repaired area of the sponson until it came up on plane? Or, even after it was on plane? I wouldn't have faith that bondo and duct tape would even hold the rocker panels on a car at that speed. [/QUOTE]
