This is Aqua Mania in the wet pit area getting prepared for lift out. We could not get very close as a salvage operation was underway. Glad they are alright.

I saw All Jacked Up on the trailer in the pits today and while I did not do a walk around, it did not appear to have any damage from the front / sides. Hatches were open drying things out. I'm sure they can be up and running soon, but not today.

There was a post from early this morning that they had most of it back together but one of the motors was done and they wouldn't be racing...

Could be steam from the water hitting the hot turbines

Chris

Freeze Frame Jeff did. He flew the noon photo shoot for everyone that wanted pics, then he stayed on when the helo switched over to safety-chase. They were there at the right time.

Can anyone tell me how All Jack'd Up flipped? I was in the pit and someone said that the P2 Donzi had people other than the driver and throttle man in the boat and it cut off the cat.

When I went to the ramp and they were pulling the Donzi out, Bob Teague was ****ed and gave them an ear full.

Spray from the accident. You can still see the aeration in the water from their turn. Here's a couple of seconds later the boat is still spinning (slowly, but still spinning)

Madpoodle

11-17-2009, 04:28 AM

The jet ski story was floating around Sunday...

Ratickle

11-17-2009, 06:36 AM

The couse was not closed for a testing period so everyone out had to watch for private boats.

The first lap he ran deep to the normal area of the turn, lots of traffic in the way.

The second lap he ran just past the cruise ship dock, and turned in front of the Westin. On the way back out at the end of his turn he had to actually go between skiis in a row heading out across the channel.

On the third lap he cut just a bit shorter than that, then about two-thirds through the turn there were skiis heading out on the far side of the channel so it looked as if he had to cut sharper yet and almost a slow-motion roll over.

That's from my viewpoint looking out.

The AquaMania thread on OSO is insane. Every time it get civil and you think it will die, someone pours gas on the fire. It's like a Jerry Springer episode where no one hears the director yelling "Cut!"

19,700+ hits. That thread is putting OSO back on the map!

It was childish bickering than shocked most. Involved another turbine extreme team that is currently not running and a bunch of opinions. You didn't miss anything that would improve your overall life. But it was certaining interesting.

I was also going there almost only for this thread that was "interesting" since the beginning... My other reason was to find some poker run pictures... it seems that not many were taken? or are still in processing by your fantastic photographs :cheers2:

Fair enough. I took your original post as you were telling Aqua Maina's Rick & Gregg you were sorry for the hijack

Now back to Aqua Mania sorry for the hijack Rick & Greg

Guess I read it wrong. Wasn't trying to put words in your mouth; I mean what are the odds that you would type both Nick & Craigs name wrong that happen to match Rick 7 Gregg of Aqua Mania.

I wonder who all took pics of the flip as some amateur photographer has these exactly same looking pics and he showed them to me and others immidiately after the flip.

Would love to see him post his how much different they are.

Here's Mikey to the rescue......:26:

The pics dont show how crazy it was out there. When I first got there my heart sank because you never want to see this. There were boats everywhere all around and some never even slowed down just to be safe. Got the boat back in the basin and flipped it there. Thanks to the CG, Border Patrol and of course the Miss Geico Rib for the escort going in. Also a big thanks to Gino for coming out to lend a hand and I glad he is doing better. But his story will also give you an idea of how crazy it was out there.
