    The two heats wdre kind of similar. Livorsi jumps out to a big lead right at the start abd stays thers. Some really sweet driving

    The Gratton brotherz finished second. Should be a tigbt season.

    My gut feel is it's not the course, but something else. I'm not sure what's going on, but all I can look at is last year vs this year. There were absolutely zero roll-overs all season last year, so what's changed? Courses are similar....

    Look at the video in general that Trent posted...It ran up a wave and rolled on its belly. The nose didnt dig in or spin out.

    That's the one with Mike and Tim in St Cloud. Talking with the Grattons, and Gene was was behind them, it was almost identical. The twins said they even had time to wonder if it was going to go over or come back. Kyle said much the same about his in St Cloud. He also says taking your girlfriend for a ride and flipping a boat with her in it is not a really good plan for a happy girlfriend....

    But if you look close, it is almost as if the boat starts to pivot on the front step, then digs in the nose. I'm not a good outboard guy to ask, but if you run the jackplate high. And you have added a lifting prop, and you trim it in to make a corner, I'd think a spinout is going to happen. Who is an outboard race guy who knows?
