Grand Prix Hydroplanes!

[Jeff Lytle]

I took these pics in Littleton N.H. when the PRO pits were at the end of the straightaway. I can relate to Wayne's story about Dayton! These guys were stil quite a ways away, but at 150+ mph, they sure sneak up on you!

J.P Lessard, the driver of this boat walked away without a scratch.

Note the color of the boat that gave him the chop.

[Jeff Lytle]

Remember that boat?.........funny, here he is again with the same result!

Driver going over is Jean Theoret in the Miss Danash II.

Yes, it's the same Theoret who drives unlimiteds now.

I know the offending drivers name, but it's not nice to spread crap on the internet! :)

Does inboard have the same rules as pro in overlap ? My common sense always tell me if you don't like the result, don't stick it in there !! hehe. Kept me out of a few scrapes, and then sometimes I just had to try.. results are rarely good when you have to think about sticking it in there.

At any rate, ya, very cool pictures, you can see they are racing hard, and that is cool !!

No trying to start an overlap discussion, just an attempt at some humor for the poor fella going over.

Hey Jeff, just a suggestion, but ya might wanna post those over on the vintage hydro website, on the discussion board. I know those guys will enjoy them and they`ll be posting for a coupla days after they see `em.

Dave,
I believe the overlap rule states there must be 4 boat lengths between boats before they can change lanes in the inboard division.
