Inboard Racing: A Wild Ride
Bob Foley spent twelve years dreaming about joining the elite ranks of hydroplane drivers, then took decisive action by purchasing a used 48 cubic inch inboard hydro in 1967 and "going racing". He "won a few" and "lost a few" and "had more fun than ought to be allowed". With a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science degree from Pratt Institute, Foley worked in the aerospace industry as "an early computer geek" to support his boat racing habit. Now retired, Foley lives in Escondido, California with Elladine, his wife of thirty-eight years. Bob Foley has been published in R/C Modeler Magazine and club newsletters of the Convair Sports Car Club, Pacific Power Boat Club, and the San Diego Alfa Romeo Owners Club. This is Foley's first book.
