The grind was 88 miles of rough water through 4 different lakes in central Wisconsin. Drivers came from 27 different states with some as far away as California. The best of the nations outboard pilots came to the Winnebagoland which had the best prizes. Hundreds of boats would start the race providing a spectacular sight for the large crowd. Over 100,000 people witnessed the last race in 1961. The Mercury Thunderbolt engine provided speeds of over 60 MPH in 1949 when outboard racing was most popular. Outboarders would race from Lake Winnebago up the Fox River and into Lake Butte des Morts. From there it was on to Lakes Winneconne and Poygan. Navigating the cut-off they entered the Wolf River and proceeded to Fremont where they turned raced back to Lake Winnebago. The cities of Neenah and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin were hosts for this race.

A lot of old racers have come out of retirement to lend a hand.The boats that participate in the V&H Division come in two varieties. Some are restorations of actual antique race boats; others are brand new boats that duplicate as closely as possible a previously existing racing craft. All attempt to capture the spirit and grandeur of a bygone era.This book is filled with actual photos, many of which have never been previously published, to delight even those individuals that have never witnessed hydroplane racing. So, we invite you to step back in time to this bygone era and watch the vintage race boats come alive again.

Despite the signals, or through mis understanding them, the sailing vessel was keep ing to her course. She was due either to ram the Rocket, or to be rammed by that agile lit tle cruising craft.

Book excerpt: In boat-racing terminology, a rooster tail is the spray of water following a speeding boat that is produced by its propeller. In this writing, Rooster Tales is what the name impliesa compilation of short boat-racing tales or stories, as remembered by a veteran member of the boat-racing fraternity. The time period covered is the twenty-five years following World War II, which has been termed by many as the golden years of the sport. This writing is separated into three distinctive periods: the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. In each period, an overview of outboard racing, in general, is offered, followed by short stories of the authors and fellow boat racers experiences during that particular period. This writing, while amusing and informative at times, is intended to give the reader a sense of how it felt to be a participant in the sport during its heyday.

Classic speedboat enthusiasts will relish the cutaway drawings of these craft, as well as the choice archival photography and the modern color photography of these now-impeccably restored beauties.
