The Body Snatchers fan boat
|
The X-tinguishers jet boat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small leak, or three, can be fixed
with expanding foam
|
The X-tinguishers are off to, well, a
slow start
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They make a smoth turn at the top
of the course
|
Where are they going? Their first
time was 1:16
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is all that smoke OK? It's nothing
serious, just over-heated foam
|
And there go the Body Snatchers...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Putt putt putt...
|
They still come in with a respectable
time of 1:33
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But their behemoth is hard to control
and they drift downstream
|
The Xtinguishers still experience some
smoke at their second run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A fast return back results in a quicker
time of 1:06
|
One Tonne Tessie is off
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Those tiny rudders aren't helping turn
the boat around
|
With a wash of mist, they record a much
slower time of 2:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A change of strategy has the X-tinguisher
close at the back...
|
...then at the front. They make much
better speed with a time of 1:01
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the start, the Body Snatchers are
on pace to win
|
But poor steering puts them on the
rocks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They come home to learn that their time
of 1:30 is not good enough
|
The X-tinguishers, those distinguishers,
are the champs today
|
