Thunder on the Ohio Hydroplane crash Aug 23, 2009

Thunder on the Ohio Aug 23 2009 first heat 1-A. During the final lap The U-16 boat driven by Ellstrom Elam Plus flips as a result of the U-1 Boat Oberto jumping from its lane. This was primarily due to what seems to be wind driven choppy waters.

Wow, thanks for posting nlangen! A much better view. Not a big Villwock fan, but in this footage it looks pretty clear Steve David took some liberties in his lane. Gotta love the bumper boat action at 180. Villwock can't say he's never done the same thing, though.

awesome. Villwok pulled the old Bud enchroachment that Chip did and lost. Those guys are great , but try to intimidate .

He was not out until the very end of the video. You can see him taking his helmet off a few seconds after the got him out.
