Hydroplane Racing in Detroit 1946-2008



 

David D. Williams, Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum Director, has been driving unlimited hydroplanes since 1993. This is his seventh book on the subject of hydroplane racing, and it was published in June, 2009 by Arcadia Publishing. 

How close did George Stratton really get to the seawall in Detroit in 2000? How high did the E-lam go when JW blew over in front of the DYC in 2005? What did the Gale Jet boat look like and was there really a Miss Pepsi III?

For the answer to these and many more questions, pick up a copy of David Williams' newest book Hydroplane Racing in Detroit 1946 - 2008. At 128 pages with over 220 rare and exciting photos, this book is a bargain for only $21.99.

Hydroplane Racing in Detroit 1946 - 2008, is David's fourth book for Arcadia Publishing and details the post war racing in the Motor City. Williams combed the photo collection of Doug Dossin, Bill Osborne, Sandy Ross and the Hydroplane Museum to find dozens of rare, old photos that had never been published before, to illustrated his carefully researched history of racing in the Motor City.

The book is available now on the Hydroplane Museum website as well as Amazon.com and local book stores in the Detroit area. Also, David's other recent books, "Hydroplane Racing in Seattle", "Turbine Racing in Seattle" and "Turbine Racing in the Tri-Cities" are also available through the Museum.
