The second round of the Swedish hydro nats was run July 3-4 2010 in Ludvika in very windy conditions. Some of the heats you could only run at the very lowest speed possible as the waves where so high. I leaned it as much as possible on the water or it would have flooded and died I think. Most of the heats it was so lean that if I would have pulled the trigger WOT it would have died right away...
FSR-H3.5 Final results after 5 heats (4 count):1. Niklas Edlund / 1600 p / Kep's 21 / CMB Valvola / Zoom carb / Fat pipe / Sholund H6-3.46 prop / 14% Klotz STP & 60% Nitro / O'Donnell blue plug
2. Jörgen Andersson / 1225 p / Eagle SGX / CMB Valvola & gear drive / Zoom carb / Fat pipe
3. Torbjörn Carlsson / 1025 p
4. Mikael Sundgren / 825 p / Kep's 21 / CMB Valvola / Zoom carb / CMD Parabolic
5. Christer Gustafsson / 775 p
6. Bosse Sandström / 550 p
7. Mikael Gartne / 475 p
8. Sune Persson / 469 p
9. Bengt Björkhage / 400 p
10. Fred Brihagen / 50 p
Ps, the boat Jörgen is holding in the picture here above is not the boat he raced with - its my YAP's 21 that is not suitable for our type of racing...Please check out Nillas picture gallery from Saturday - click

Jörgen's Eagle 21 with gear drive was almost as good as my Kep's 21 in the very windy conditions... ;)

My Kep's 21 penetrates the drink pretty hard but I had zero DNF's. :)

Check my Kep's 21 how deep it penetrates the water after a jump. Need to make the tub higher eventually...

Benke was my co-driver in hydro. He did a splendid job. Now he and Stefan has their own RTR Kep's 21's - hope they will make it to the next nats in hydro also. :)
