maybe youve seen this....maybe not...
Yeah I've seen it. Many times. I was there that weekend when they filmed it.
It comes down to this. when you pop the valve open water comes out of the clean out but it still loads the bowl up with pressure. Unless you unload the pressure "aka" drop a few 100 RPMs you will not slow down a whole lot.
I've got time slips in the hauler that show if you have the valve open from the tree to the end of 1320ft = a consistent 1/10th off of our e/t compared to a full track pass with the valve closed. I also use the valve to mess with hydros that come screaming passed me sometime. Hope they slam off the peddle. Lol!
Also in that video you can hear the boat on the 2 step for about 2 to 4 seconds mid run. Slowing it down even more.
That track sucks! It's always a battle for use there because the water is always messed up.
