0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy Gekko"Hydroplane Racing in Seattle (WA)(Images of the Sport) is an insubstantial over view of one of the golden eras of the sport. The usual stars are covered but scant attention is paid to the supporting cast of other drivers and boats who also contributed to the overall spectacle. Technical aspects are glossed over or omitted and basic specifications such as length. width. weight. Allison or Rolls engine. etc. are barely mentioned or left to the reader to deduce. A few of the photos were mildly interesting but could not make up for the lack of solid information. The sum total of this book would only make an acceptable introduction to a serious treatise on the subject.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great memoriesBy Catmy husband drove Hydroplanes when he was younger these brought back so many memories it was one of the best birthdays yet. He made me laugh cause he kept trying to read it and somebody would try to talk to him.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. NostalgiaBy Kathryn AndersonI thought this was a very interesting book and it brought back many memories of great times at Seafair in Seattle. We watched many of these boats race and being able to read the historys of them was very enjoyable. For sure this is a keeper.
