Prop Riders: 60 Years of Racing Hydroplanes (Paperback) by Phillip Kunz (Author), William G. Holder (Author) |
The definitive source on the sport of inboard hydroplane racing. Not only does it give relevant historical information, but it explains the motorsport rules, strategies, boat designs, engine technologies, and other useful information.

He usually carries a couple of books in his trunk and will sell you an autographed copy if you ask him. |
