Great Book

A fantastic book that goes deep into hydroplane racing's past. A must read if you've ever had an interest in the history of hydros & boat racing. The book targets mainly the automobile engine, powered inboard hydroplane. And this is the best one, (and only one) written by an American author, who has spent his entire life around these fascinating boats. Added bonus are the tables on US National Champions, Speed Records, etc. This book is sure to be a collectors item.
