Minimum speed to hit water?

Just out of curiosity how fast would you need to go to stay a float on a 1 inch lug track?

With a 1 inch track at least 60-70, and even like that you won't last forever.

Min, like 45! But just keep the gas on! That guy in Euroup did like 25 miles and keeps uping the distance! In reality the only thing holding you back is Fuel! They do all sorts of racing on water! Drag raceing to Ovals and Slolom! Check out Aquaholics!

my dad says to roll up to it at 45mph and try to keep sled around that speed.

too high of speed raises the skis and gets harder to steer or start to wobble back and forth.

I have a 2in track but have never done this. I plan to try it this winter....
