[Land-speed] Can anyone confirm this? Not LSR

Yep, it's a fact, Wes.  I raced outboard hydroplanes way back in the early fifties.  Back then, racers steered with their left hand and throttles were on the right side.  That was to allow the racer to shift his weight and push down with his right elbo to balance the boat on the straight aways.

  He is right.. Most racing boats have twin engines so one prop cancels
the other.. And if a real race boat you need a throttle man as well..If
not like a hydroplane center steer.. BTW racing boats literally fly and
the only thing in the water is the prop..
