Re: Thunderboats
Nice composition there Richard,
Looking at the other shots on smugmug; it seems you had picked a good vantage point.
Tip for smugmug viewers:
1) click the first image so it comes up on its own,
2) then use the right arrow (on keyboard) to step through them.

Re: Thunderboats
The thing I'd like to know is "how on earth do they get the driver into the boat with such a massive air intake over the canopy"?

Re: Thunderboats
I'd like to think they build the boat around them and they had to live in there for their whole career but sadly I fear it's not the case.
I agree the angle looking through the images is good and you got a lot of their wake in there which conveys a lot of the speed I think.
