The age old question:-

When is the right time (if there is one) to bail out when you blow it over backwards?

It looks like this guy wants to go down with the ship!:D

For those of you that are interested, the photo was taken at Traben-Trarbach, Germany and the driver I'm told is Jurgen Koslowski of Germany, class OB.

Enjoy!

Great pictures Corin!

Here is a set from one of my many blowovers. This is a Stock 25SSH rig blowing over at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I stayed in pretty long on this one as well...

Tom,

That looks like your super cool Runne boat. I remeber when you got that boat. It turned so well and was fast, especially with the super pops Kargus" Flame" on it.

You can't feel bad about getting wet at the old Oshkosh course. It was usually very nasty. The last time I raced there I rolled the D over in the 2nd turn.

I don't think that fella wanted to go down with the ship, it looks like he's trying a full loop.

Gosh,,, if he'd been going just a little faster,,,, he might have made it.:) :)
