Ready, Set, Wait...
Sometimes this can be the hardest part of all. The boats and drivers need to be in the water and ready for their heat. This prevents long breaks in the action for the spectators. However, the race course may need to be cleared of debris and all hydroplanes from the previous heat.
On a scorcher of a summer day, this is brutal for the drivers. They are wearing a racing suit, flack suit, helmet, oxygen mask and cooped up inside of a cockpit that functions as a solar oven when at rest. Of course at around 100 MPH, there is a nice breeze flowing though the cockpit. |
