How Fast?

Asking a boat racer how fast his rig is going draws an answer that is just as reliable as a fisherman's "fish size" report. Ed Hearn.

[wagner-racing16-s]

i'm not asking for specifics i was just looking for an average

[race4kaos]

so...

...let me get this straight. to win, you have to be running:

-66mph out east to beat the 302's
-68+ in the midwest to beat the 102's
-70+ out west to beat their 302's

so if you're not winning, just move further east...

See, now that's good clean region bashing fun! Actually, I must say, I did see 69mph once in the 302 powered CSH, but then I realized I didn't reset my GPS. But facts are facts. I went 69mph.

This is an International board these days. - Where is Corin Huke?
How fast do you have to run in OSY400 to win in Europe?

-Oh, Wait... Those are actually stock outboard motors...

well,

since it is quite a bit further east, i'd say like 60 to 62mph - depending on where it is in Europe.

66 around the course or 70 at the end of the 1 1/2 mile course...I think I'll take the 66.

BTW...even though we were not the fastest last year we were only seeing 66.

Funny, you always hear about 70 mph CSHs, yet the 1st and 2nd place boats at the nationals are only running 66?

[DougMc]

65.5 in clean water and 62 in the slop.

[Trihedral_1]

Hey i just took my new boat out and ran my 102 for the first time. I am looking to see what average speeds people are getting now with the new 3/4 rule to see how i place with the speeds i got from my gps.

Welcome to CSH!
65.6 was good enough to win the ’06 AOF Nationals and also the ’07 APBA Winter Nationals. All below 3/4 inch………………….

There are a lot of CSH’s that go 70+. We must all remember that the course has two turns in it....

Don't forget to have fun!!!!!!!!

Doug, you need a RunneCraft. When I was running CSH on dads B Mod boat, it tested at 63.5 and raced at 65 in sh*tty water at Millville!

It looks as though 66 is the magical number that everyone who has some wins to their credit is showing. I would imagine the real question is how fast do you get 66. I bet the winners are getting the 66 faster than us Okies are. I have been competitive, but not winning with the 66. Looks like I need to work on getting 66 as soon as i come out of the turn. Can't wait to get back in the water after the Winter Nationals!!!!!!!!!

Yes Dr. Rick, you taught me that one at the AOF nats. You walked from me big time coming out of the first turn and got to your top end faster me for sure. Don't play possum, you are one of the men to beat.

-66mph out east to beat the 302's

so if you're not winning, just move further east...

LOL

I think it's because the GPS satellites in the East are slower...

Seriously, a GPS is only going to give you an approximate speed. You're going to have variablility due to the ability of the unit to get signal (type, location). When you get signal, it says "Accurate up to XX feet". I've never seen one show less than 20 feet of accuracy. The quick direction change going through a turn can make them spike. And it is a max speed - unless you have your eyes locked on it, you won't know where on the course it's peaking.

We've seen 71 on the GPS at 3/4". We laughed and put another prop on.

Keep in mind the current of the river you are on vs. lake and also head/tailwinds. GPS readings are good for one prop vs. another, but don't mean Jack Squat when it comes to racing.
