    Ouch!

    I wonder if having the Go Pro up on the front of the boat, will lead to having cross eyes...like the Opti-Grab.

    That was very intense, and I am just glad that everyone got thru it ok.. About 2 - 3 sec before impact I just saw the nose of TYPHOON comin@ the back of my head. Didn't realize how hard we hit until after we saw the video.. We've got nothin but love for Randy, Louie, and the whole Typhoon team. Sorry that it went down the way it did. I know Wil and I would have much rather been battlin those guys the whole race instead of just 1 turn. Minor damage to the TUG, and Randy did get a nice crack in the hull.. We'll both be patched up and ready for West Palm Baby!!Click image for larger version.

    Got to get there first. Trophy lost a wheel in N. Carolina last night. The whole Spindel assembly came off. Talked to him this AM and he got it to a shop now. Im hoping the axel is ok and he will back on the road today. This $hit is so much fun. LOL

    Damn Randy, they hit you so hard it knocked the wheel off the trailer?

    Anyway I think in most cases the spindle is the end of the axle. Axles don't cost too much.
