Hydroplane racing burst onto the Seattle scene in 1950, and local sports fans embraced it with a passion that is hard to imagine. Throughout the early 1950s, thousands of fans flocked to Lake Washington to watch classic races between Seattle's Slo-mo-shun boats and a fleet of East Coast challengers. For over 40 years, hydroplane racing was synonymous with summertime in Seattle. During its golden age, when "hydro fever" was at its height, drivers like Bill Muncey, Ron Musson, and Mira Slovak were sports heroes on par with today's Ken Griffey Jr. or Ichiro. Seattle became the "hydro" capital of the nation.

Hydroplane racing captured the heart and soul of Seattle in the early 1950s and never let go. No Seahawks, Sonics, or Mariners game has come close to drawing one-quarter of the audience that watches the hydroplanes race. The unmistakable sound of the boats' huge motors was as big an attraction as the racing itself. In the mid-1980s, something began to change. The distinctive roar of the old Thunderboats gave way to the whoosh of the turbine. The old names like Muncey and Chenoweth were replaced by new names like Hanauer and Villwock.

"Two men from Seattle had the same ambition. They wanted the fastest boat in the world. One of them loved to play with design ideas that would make boats go faster. He had the idea. The other was a successful auto dealer who loved speed and was a boat racer. He had the money. Then came a third--a man who had the mechanical genius to build things that worked. He applied the money and used the idea to build a race boat that not only set the world's straightaway speed record but also went to Detroit, easily won the Gold Cup--the biggest boat race in the world--and brought the prestigious event to Seattle. SLO-MO-SHUN is the story of those three men: Ted Jones, Stan Sayres, and Anchor Jensen--men who stunned the world of unlimited hydroplane racing in 1950 and brought the world's fastest boats to the Pacific Northwest. Because of them, the sport became the biggest thing in town."--Amazon.com.

Discover a time when hydroplane racing captured the heart of the Detroit community in a way that has never been equaled. Since the start of the 20th century, Detroit has been the hub of the motorized world. It was only natural that the powerful motors built in Detroit's huge factories eventually found their way into high-speed boats and that organized racing soon followed. Starting in 1916, Detroit became the center of powerboat racing. Names like Gar Wood, Chris Smith, and Horace Dodge dominated the sports pages of the 1920s and 1930s. Following World War II, racing in Detroit entered its golden era, led by local businessmen like Jack Schafer, Joe Schoenith and George Simon.
