Next question is, why? |
|
The pre-turbine era of unlimited hydroplane racing. Although I like the turbines as well, there was nothing quite like the Rolls Royce Merlin engines in these early boats. 27 liter 12-cylinder +1000HP.

Battle ship Texas is on the move again. Heading from Houston to Galveston for much needed dry dock repairs.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1661954462.jpg 21 October 1989, the last time it was in dry dock in Galveston. Looks kind of small compared to the big red tanker on the left. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1661954462.jpg |

These early ground-effects cars were largely trial and error. Check out the little 'Speedway wing' on the front of Fittipaldi's car.
