Description:
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Table of Contents From remote lakes and ""cottage racers"" to national speed records and Hollywood, here is the story of American outboard racing and the unique culture it spawned. This is a book most of all about people - from cash-poor kids to industry executives, from famous throttle twisters to mechanical geniuses who concocted the sport's fastest boats, propellers, and speed accessories. Told through the eyes of a lifelong enthusiast and keen observer of people and events, Vintage Culture portrays an inclusive sport that welcomed female contestants as well as men, and was racially diverse in an era when few sporting activities were. In these pages you'll find the story of the American Powerboat Association and its trials with upstart rival groups, and you'll journey back in time to see what it was actually like to participate in a 1950's racing event. What's more, the author devotes two entire chapters to the collectibles spawned during those bygone days, from toys, books and magazines to speed parts and accessories. The Vintage Culture of Outboard Racing will delight all those fascinated by the people, boats, and motors that were central to a unique period in American motorboat racing.
