That was awsome ! I love watchin those old V8 boats:cool:
Watching that brings back memories of the first few F1 races in Sacramento. There were a few shots in the video form there as well.

That is just COOL
I noticed that too, Joe. The only time I ever got to see them was at Sacramento 85 (or 84?). That was such a heart wrenching weekend. One I'll never forget.
I've got several VHS tapes of their television series that I recorded, but can't figure out how to make clips from them.
Miss BK, the year was 85 if your refering to Jimbo's accident.:(
You may or may not be aware that the first safety capsule (cell) in F1 was designed and built by a British guy called Chris Hodges. It was after Tom Percival was killed in a racing accident that Hodges decided that he wanted to do something to help increase the driver's safety
The very first cell (picture below) is in a powerboat museum in England

The rumour goes that in order to test the strength of the cell in the event of a large impact, they flew a helicopter at speed a few feet about the water and dropped the cell out
