Before the days of Perfect Pass speed control, or GPS based control (star gazer/0-off) speed through a slalom course was critical to be within rules specifications. The second speedo was for redundancy, should one fail (plugged pitot or whaterver) ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

And I'd like to add that tow boats used in tournaments frequently had a 3rd speedo for the judge. They were mounted on the dog house so the judge sitting in the observers seat could see it. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

The tolerances are pretty tight. In looking at this, its hard to believe how much harder adding 2 mph is when it represents only about a 1 second reduction in time to pass through the entire course. Its either that, or I'm just no good. I've never competed, so I'm not sure this is true, but I believe (again, before GPS speed controls) the judges still didnt trust the speedos and used a stop watch to verify the speed/time through the course. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |
