Book excerpt: Fred Farley, the Official APBA Hydro-Prop Unlimited Historian, and Ron Harsin, life long resident of Madison, Indiana, have written this excellent description of the history of Hydroplane Racing and 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 are laced with over three hundred black & white photographs, many of which have never been published. A section on the making of the movie Madison is included as it is a large part of the Gold Cup history. The movie Madison is based on the true story of Miss Madison's 1971, come from behind, Gold Cup win. Madison -- Hydroplane Heritage compliments this exceptionally fine film (in theaters soon) by giving the reader the history of the sport and its participants so excitingly portrayed in the film. You don't have to be a dyed-in-the-wool racing fan, you will enjoy Madison - Hydroplane Heritage.
