A Century of Gold Cup Racing

2004 Celebrates 100 years of racing for the Gold Cup – The Crown Jewel of Hydroplane Racing. Fred Farley, the Official APBA Hydro-Prop Unlimited Historian, and Ron Harsin, have written this excellent account of the history of the Gold Cup which had its start in 1904. In those early days, the boats ran at the Blistering Speed of 24 mph. Today’s Unlimited Hydroplanes – The Thunderboats – set the Water on Fire at over 200 mph! These pages contain over one hundred black & white photographs, many of which have never been published. It is also the first known record of the races to have all the drivers’ and owners’ name correctly listed for each race. After 100 years of racing you can finally own the definitive book of this truly thrilling, yearly event! SIT BACK AND FEEL THE SPRAY! Illustrated
