"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.
