A hovercraft is just like a helicopter: barely controled chaos.

Nah, you need an ekranoplane.

Think of how jealous Mr. Yacht Rock would be if you cruised by in your own personal flying cruise ship?

If you blow cones over during the autocross, but don't actually touch them, does it still count as a penalty?

Side note: course workers will hate you.

They stop and steer OK, the trouble is that you have to plan ahead, they don't do anything well on short notice

So, can I enter a hovercraft in the 2018 challenge?

Please?

I would shoot for 2017, but I really want to get SanFord done first.

I'm leaning towards going. They're playing a cool, outdoor venue near us. By then I'll be a few weeks out of the sling.

Sort of related, maybe, how about one of those giant Soviet hover planes/ships?

In reply to RFloyd: That looks like the unsafest thing evar! Which means someone here has to build one. Probably using MDF, a snowmobile engine, two salvaged shopping carts, and skirting made from used political yard signs.
