About

Relive the 1960s in "Dragon Days," when hydroplane racing topped Seattle's sports scene and Miss Bardahl was the queen of the fleet. Go behind the scenes to learn what the owners, drivers, crews, boat builders, and their families risked for racing glory. The story takes you from Seattle to Detroit to Lake Tahoe, San Diego, Coeur d'Alene, the Ohio and Potomac rivers, and points between. Learn how Bardahl's implausibly young crew infused the sport with innovations and fussy quality control that gave Bardahl its winning edge. You'll soak in baby-boomer nostalgia recounting world events and pop culture that stirred the times. You'll learn how Miss Bardahl later was "lost" for years, found, rescued, restored, and now casts rooster tails skyward in exhibition races. The Green Dragon roars again! "Dragon Days" is written in an active, lively style. It's the equivalent of a 490-page paper book with 402 photos, most in full color.
