I didn’t know this video existed....Rob Wood was one of the best known Canadian F1 drivers. He was an OMC factory driver and was one of the few Canadians to race the OMC V8 FI tunnels. I was at this race. It was an unusual day for wind direction and the effect that bridge had on the tunnels. Even our Sports C tunnel would lift running under that bridge. The F1 boats couldn’t trim out as much for fear of blowing over backwards. The boats couldn’t get much separation and the “U” turns at the end of the straightaways were challenging and dangerous. I don’t recall ever going back to race at that location.
We had a good number of F1 entries back then and very competitive!

There are not any posts from the V6 performance group, so here is a video of some super fast V6’s to see who has the fastest boat.

I think the first (4) boats going into the turn where Rob Wood barrel-roles are;
#428 Bill McGonegal (driving one of Bill Seebold's old Bud Light boats)
#46 Rob Scythes (driving one his own Scycraft hulls)
#241 Mike Werner (Lee Craft)
#24 Rob Wood (maybe driving a Velden ??)
