View Full Version : Breaking the speed limit by 110 m.p.h.

Well unfortunately the speed limit on our local lake (Folsom) dropped to 5 m.p.h. yesterday.:thumbsdown It doesn't happen every year only when the water drops down more than 60'+. They lower the speed limit down to 5 m.p.h. because they stop marking submerged objects and they're afraid that people will hit something.

It got me thinking back to the last time they dropped it down to 5 mph which was a few years ago. My buddy Jory (RIP) and I decided to take my Daytona out there and make a couple illegal runs. As you can see in the picture we made a little modification to the sign. ;) Normally where we took this picture we would be 40' underwater. I apologize for the shaky camera footage....Jory was the best marine mechanic....camera man not so much. Turn up the volume.

I forgot to add that the day this was filmed the lake was actually about 20' below the level where they set the 5 mph limit. :yikes:

You can really see how low it is, it is lower than the spillways on the dam.

cool videos, does it always get that low every year. We live by Lake Mathews and it looks like its been down about 40' or so for a long time.

No not every year. We experienced the driest Jan,Feb,March on record earlier this year. I would say on average it is usually about 25-30' higher this time of year. It will probably get low enough to expose the town they flooded when they built the dam back in 1955.

If it does, you better get out there and take some pics. That would be cool to see.

That's insane. I guess this guy knows the lake pretty damn good to roll that speed in a pond. Did he really do 115? He looks a little sticky to me.

Boat is looking and sounding sweet, looking at that dam is frightening, does the water level do that every year.

Pretty much Scott.
She did get another brand new one the next day so I didn't have to hear about it for too long. Cost me a couple bucks though.

I'm going out this weekend to look for it. The water is low enough now.
