Missed it again above the bank.
On track,
he's about to lose his amount.
10.32
Nothing, swallow down bud.
I touch the bank right from the start.
Nothing, swallow down bud.
I touch the bank right from the start.
The 89-90 jet sprint season at Currency Creek got off to a spectacular start, courtesy of
the Wangaratta ski boat entry.
As things settled down, it was Greg Steele who set the early pace.
Riding here's donde GOS P Montreal, Christian and他的 av.-
I'm going to go.
That's it.
There where it's needed, but in your eye,
there's a constant...
If he keeps this pace up right there,
there'll be a magnificent drive.
Look at the time.
That's my marker.
43 seconds, that is.
It was without a doubt the quickest so far.
Of course, they could pass this man in the round as well.
There's another prize money on that one.
Sure, he's going for that one.
You've got to remember, this is the first run for the day,
so the first run for the day.
Watch this left hander now.
This is the one that brings a lot of them down.
Right up on the van, as he's going.
This is the one to beat.
That's it.
A low 30.
They're going to get quicker this time.
They're going to get quicker.
Isn't that magnificent?
That's the sort of thing we're going to see get better and better as the day goes on.
It didn't take long, however,
for things to roll again.
Next, a certain crowd pleaser.
That's the man.
Just keep your eye on him, folks.
Don't even take it off for one second.
The last way out of here,
the last meeting was unbelievable.
A forceful hit.
This isn't seen a lot, is it?
But what I didn't know is somebody was sitting on my dick and he's about to have a bang.
That's the rest of the bar and the electric grid.
This is it.
It's beautiful.
Hey, he's going to take some survival.
Thank you.
That's my little bike.
Don't stop it. He is.
Ladies and gentlemen,
get the foot off the juice bike.
Right up under...
Oh, no.
In the pit, straight up the back of another boat.
The tactic of the guy over the carrot seed creek.
Right.
I think we better get the pit marshals down there
to reorganize it.
There'll be a little bit of an identification, I'd say,
of this one.
And I'll ride.
Let's go.
...on the saloon.
We're now testing the motor that dropped the valve.
It's just one of those unfortunate things.
The valve was fractured.
It was just a strange thing.
And the two went in the same situation.
When it cracks on the head and when the wheel starts to blow,
they've dropped a spark plug.
We didn't think they'd make it, but they were here.
Keep an eye on the lip of this thing.
He's got a...
...a little bit of a...
Ladies and gentlemen, that's a quick run.
Now...
Parker on the grass rather than parking it up somewhere on the spool
on another boat each way.
We're back in action with the speed machine.
Two wins, specialty shooting.
And here he's on the lander.
He's racing it today.
He's riding it.
He's running away.
He went together on Saturday night at 1 o'clock.
That was last night at 1 o'clock.
Alright, we'll come back later.
...the wire business is going to be a good time or a good crash.
Good run. Good run.
This is the guy who will be watching Great Seal,
Steve is here in the Sonic Valvoline.
Here's the South Australian driver driving with his buddy
and both of them have come.
So what did I do there?
Yes.
Magnificent performance for this boat.
That's quick, quick, quick.
Nip the bank then, please.
That's a long line.
He's getting a very good line.
He's within inches of the bank from one side to the other.
And so he's getting used to the maneuverability of these narrow tracks.
He's pretty to watch, Peter.
And I think he might be the man of the day this fella.
Well, this is the boat to beat up.
...this one was the best of the best.
He took that one and he's in one.
Very good performance.
It'll be interesting to see how he goes with that 63.24.
We'll get a time back for the time trial.
That was quick, ladies and gentlemen.
Very quick.
Well done, Stilo.
Now we move on to the February 90 meeting,
and it was the Super Chevy entry that went out to set the early pace.
Here we go.
John Norland of MatRide and the Scorcher SuperChev Marine Machine.
And we'll just see what they can do for their first run this morning.
Laurie went out from stools holding the past at times to moments, I think, for the day.
So here we go.
I think Laurie had a 118.77.
A 118.77.
So let's see what happens.
Well, they'll be our way.
They don't like the tag of V-drivers, but as mentioned earlier,
they're not V-class by any way.
That's just a different way of differentiating.
No, you can recognize that 40 through the end.
Through these boards.
Not the most pretty well-intentioned on the track,
but they're taking the both sideways rather than losing direction
and putting it through the lines very, very nicely.
Very quick.
Whoops.
30 seconds at that particular point.
Satisfying.
Very quick, sir.
Yes.
They're not slowing up on that corner.
That's unbelievable.
Not much past there in there.
Good speed all the way and just slides right through it.
This is a bad corner.
This one they're coming on to now, aren't they?
Touched the yellow line.
Oh, he just hit it.
Dug out.
He was very lucky.
Might have got a little bit flustered for a moment.
Might have been wrong.
Look at the time.
There he goes.
Ladies and gentlemen, a 1.12.87.
So you've got Superchev in first and second position at the moment
with 1.18.77 and a 1.12.87.
That's phenomenal, isn't it?
A quick time, put the pressure on.
That's the corner that's right.
He must have gone past the 2.3.
He's just dropped the man.
That's right.
That's what it looks like, 2.0.
They had a quite little flop down to the bank at that speed.
Very difficult to see that we were like.
Touch.
He cried.
Nearly put it over.
So he's a lucky lad.
He nearly went on inlet.
Just didn't hit the pedal quite early enough there.
You noticed it was getting a little untidy.
He hit the pedal, but it wasn't enough to shoot him back
into the center of the street.
They get that little nudge on the edge of the bank,
and once that starts, they're on their way.
It's just bump, bump, bump, crunch.
And we've got the Piper Master, Eric Tattersall
and Glenn Tattersall in the Scorcher.
Piper Master boats, they make the boats,
and they drive the boats.
Oh, and there's that, she cried.
They're going for fast speeds.
Very willing today, Peter.
Bit of bad luck there.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know,
it's a great sport, but by crikey do they
throw those boats around.
They really do, and they want time,
and they want their time up, and they're hungry for it.
These guys, they're just a little bit of competitive spirit.
The interstate boat wants to prove a point
that he'll be trying either way.
He's really pushing it.
He's very close on a couple of first quarters.
Close to the bank, but got it through,
so he's right up there close.
He's got to be very, very careful.
It's quickly on, it's up the bank.
Could somebody please keep this Scorcher
away from the edge of the track?
It's a little bit of a scenario.
It's not very good.
The big test is about to come for this driver.
He'll be happy with that.
Good time.
120 now, that's only two seconds off
Lailena's time earlier this morning,
so he'll be pretty happy with that.
He's got to be very good at driving these guys,
so they could be very spectacular.
He's driving it very, very well.
He's become a very good driver actually,
young Mike.
He's got his act together a lot more than he did
the other day.
There you go.
That tunnel's working very well too.
You notice on the corners,
the holliest level is not hitting or diving on him.
The water's been thrown up under the challenge there
very good.
The shape of the hull,
apart from their fall,
need to be just balancing well with the ground.
That's a very good time.
Look at that.
A 1.17.05.
He'll be happy with that time, a 1.17.05.
Now that is a very fast run.
But it was the Victorians who put in another quick time.
He's got to be very, very good.
1.19.51.
These Vicks weren't as smooth.
He picked up something in his groove,
but his split times are very good.
He's skied on that fully-headed turn point,
and that's fast.
Oh, he's gone.
Gone for the dust.
A little bit harder, Dutch.
You went in a little bit quick, mate.
Dutchie is outdone.
Oh, there it is.
There it is, the big roll, back to where he belongs.
Well, sorry, Dutch.
You just lost your best prank.
Well, what do you reckon about that, then, lads?
That's a nice new boat, nice new rollover.
They did it well, though.
They made it easy for the safety crew.
They just put it back around the right way.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's what I'll be talking to that crew
a little bit later on to see.
What do you reckon about that?
By now, I'd say David Jennings would be beating the hell out of his driver,
Mike Scott.
He's a bit like that.
Yes, it would be quite a sensation to hit the go-over
and wonder how it's all going to end up.
Luckily, they ended up the right way.
And very nearly again.
Well, that becomes true.
Now, the whole of the competition is rollover.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, this was the last run before lunch,
and you've seen what happened before lunch.
Actually, Lindas and Danny, they put that boat on a slitter
to Wangarata meeting, the last meeting we had,
and ended upside down, but none the worse for wear.
Very strong little boats and fairly resistant drivers and crews,
as I might ask.
Just made it on that corner.
I believe they just made it.
Yes, a close go or even a rollover.
It doesn't put them off at all.
No.
They really keep the power on and keep that pushy down low
regardless of any previous incidents.
Back into that super-shift straight.
A little faster, Darren.
To that cut round back, the mobile cutter.
Oh, and he's out again in true motorbender.
And up into the finish zone, yep.
Now, that's a really top run, a 1.1690.
That's the best run he's had for the day.
The girls show us how it's done.
That fast.
Well, now they're angry and they're really going to make it go,
but a bit innocent bit of singing there by the girls.
They were facing the wrong way.
They're the only ones that have successfully just taken it quietly,
turned round, got their boat in the right direction,
and now they're going to give it a treatment.
So they haven't finished the run yet, but this might be the one.
They did finish one and then crashed after the event,
but let's hope they come on back on the track, girls, and get it going.
Now, wrong way.
Oh, it's this way.
I'm working out. No eyes. I can't relax.
Oh, they're grass cutting again.
Oh, it's the fastest lawnmower in the town, this thing.
But they weren't the only lawnmower in town.
Check it out, the top-running guy is making sure I'm in the right place.
Oh, he's got a good grip.
He's got a good grip.
Check it out, the top-running guy is making sure I'm in the right place.
Very nice, D.
He's specifically tuning, Martin.
He's got a little bit more space.
He's absolutely blowing on this guy.
Oh, he's got a good grip.
Super Chevy goes for it again.
Oh, he's got a good grip.
