whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???? RV-bull races??
now that just looks like TOO MUCH FUN!!!!
but let me get this straight......I know there's a penalty for a pylon 'cut', but do you have to PAY for a new pylon when you really SLICE it!?!? yikes? poor guy that snipped one, or two!? great video to watch...almost fell out of my chair leaning into the turns with you ! more....more! please!:) |
Pylons are 82' (25m) high and cost 50,000 Euros - hitting one is not recommended!! Minimum height was 100' with a penalty applied for flying below the checkboard. Pylons were mounted on rafts secured to the river bed with anchors, but a strong wind (25+ kt on Saturday) against a fast running tide dragged some of the rafts under - which is why there was a cube on one corner. More videos coming when I have time to edit out some of the more 'fruity' comments on the sound track.

I've never heard of a Hercules prop though... John W. |
