Read about the adventures and mis-adventures of a rookie inboard hydroplane driver as he learns how to drive an eleven foot long, ninety mile per hour, alky-burning prop-rider on race courses in California, Arizona, Utah, and Washington. Experience the wild elation of victory and the disappointment of defeat as the author relates various anecdotes of accidents, engine explosions, lost opportunities, bad decisions, and lucky wins. Gain insight into the behind-the-scenes activity that supports power boat racing: the seemingly endless hours of engine building and hull maintenance that are required in preparation for a few minutes of all-out racing action on Sunday afternoon. Tag along as the author chases parts, repairs his hull, re-installs the engine, and "safety-wires everything". Then strap on a Gentex or a Lifeline jacket and a Bell helmet and join Bob Foley on A Wild Ride. Other books by this author: http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=32474

This is the first book that documents the development and history of racing activity on the bay. It focuses on the limited, inboard racing classes of the American Power Boat Association (APBA) because those craft have been the racing segment most avidly followed in the region. The drama of racing and the personalities of those involved are conveyed through the author's first-hand experiences gathered during close to thirty years of following Chesapeake Bay regattas. Particular tribute is paid to the owners, drivers, and mechanics who have risked their money, and sometimes their lives, to undertake the exciting and dangerous sport of powerboat racing, and, in so doing, to entertain the enthusiasts who follow their activities. An appendix listing of boat names, owners, and classes will surely be of interest to any racing fan.

Here are sixty-two color photographs of hydroplanes and racing runabouts doing what race boats do... wailing down the straightaways, bucking and skidding through the turns, and accelerating toward the finish line. Classes represented include Unlimited Hydroplanes and the smaller Limited hydros, from 48 cubic inch up through the thundering Seven Litre hydros. Included also are the wickedly fast racing runabouts such as the Super Stocks, Ski Racing Runabouts, E Racing Runabouts, the mighty K Racing Runabouts, and the crowd favorites, the Crackerbox Runabouts.
