As of last week, FIELD OF WAKES had already outsold Dust Bowl Roostertails (the 2010 book). Thank you for your support! Initial reviews have been very positive.
One of the new things about FIELD OF WAKES this year is the ability to expand a single photo across two pages, which really brings out the drama of the sport...you can see this in the two-page spread of the start of the C Stock Hydro Finals.
From the Forward of the book:
"So, what’s the big deal about Nationals? Aside from the rule structures that allow bonus points to National Championship winners, a significant part of winning a National High Point Championship, put simply, Nationals is the place you go to race The Very Best in your class. It’s a chance for drivers to test their equipment and skills against a defending champion, up to three divisional champions, and an elite handful of racers who are fast enough to qualify for the final heats by their performance in elimination races. Boats are fast, competition is keen. Driving is tough and quarters are close. It’s a chance for racers to drive against racers they haven’t competed against before. Teenagers with four or five years of experience run head-to-head with drivers who have raced for over forty years. Old friendships and rivalries are renewed. Stories of Nationals past are told and retold, frequently with the boats going faster, the drivers driving harder, and the margins of victories growing in size each time they are retold.
In short, The Nationals is the home of the best boat racing on the planet for about one week."
