i skipped just like a stone. going 80 miles an hour, the couple is ejected from their racer. if you listen to it real close you hear this and then you hear me scream. it was the impact of the wake hitting, and i just remember my head hitting, and then i went in. the whole scene just slowed right down for me. i didn t know what had happened. the kill switch goes off as they re slung out to sea, shutting down the engine and giving terry and clay a chance to gather their bearings, swim back to the boat and complete the race. they finish dead last. there was only one other girl that was racing, and she did earn the respect for getting back in the boat and finishing the race. they come out of the boating accident unscathed. the couple goes on to race the lady hustler for two more years before drifting away from the racing scene in 2002. it s not a sport where you really make any money at it.
hour s top stories, a massive wildfire outside of sacramento almost doubled in size since yesterday. the rocky fire has burned 47,000 acres. dozens of homes and buildings have been destroyed. metal debris on reunion island is not part of missing malaysian airlines flight 73. back to caught on camera. imagine the thrill of bolting along at high speeds on the high seas, burning around the buoys when all of a sudden, watch out! you go flying to the water. it looks like i m doing a backwards choreographed dive. terry davidson and clay of
jump over his wake. i either wanted to go in between the two of them or handle the two wakes or i wanted to go on the outside of them. and he said, no, go on the inside. so i did. and i listened to what he said. when i tell you to turn, turn. all right. and when clay gets excited about something, he repeats the same words over and over and over. so he kept saying turn, and he kept repeating it. turn, turn. and i kept turning it and turning it. straight now. simultaneously at the same time one of the wakes from the boat in front of us hit us right at the bow. jump over the wake. it does it so fast that anything that s loose inside the boat comes out. including them. without warning, terry and clay are launched from the lady hustler into the lake. it was totally unexpected
racing scene in 2002. it s not a sport where you really make any money at it. it s really self funded. it s a hobby. with offshore power boat racing now in their wake, these days, terry and clay have switched gears entirely, focusing their attention on land. in fact, you can say that they ve gone to the dogs. it s been ten years now working at different shelters and rescue groups and currently am the president of the humane society here in bay county. they re also parlaying yet another passion of theirs into helping man s best friend. they own a wine shop called the wine dog. looking back, terry and clay have cherished memories of the ups and downs and ins and outs of their racing days. but this video caught on camera was surely not their finest hour.
it would just top out about 85 to 88. clay figured since they have a new boat, why not try a new driver to boot? he asks terry to get behind the wheel of the lady hustler, and she agreed. it s april 9th, 2000, at the florida spring fling in east lake in st. cloud. it was an opportunity for everybody to get the bugs worked out. we were a new team as terry driving and the first time racing the lady hustler. it was nerve wracking. but he said he wanted us to stay in the back and let everybody go so i could get comfortable with handling the boat. the race begins and as seen from the camera mounted on the front of the boat, things are going smoothly for team lady hustler. so smooth that clay encourages terry to pass a couple of boats ahead of them. forgot that plan where you re going to stay back and be conservative and he s like, okay, let s take them.
