Speedboat Racers
Motorboats first took to American waters in the late 1800s. Yacht clubs started to hold races on rivers and lakes. By the early 1900s, powerboat racing had official rules. It became a national sport. You can race a powerboat as soon as you are nine years old. It doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl, tall or short, big or small. Successful boat racers come in all shapes and sizes.

Five titles make up the Kid Racers series of books. These books cover niche sports. Each of the titles introduces the sport, describes the equipment, discusses kids currently involved in the sport, provides safety advice, and gives information on where and how kids can get involved if they desire. Each book's author is either an expert in that particular sport, or a writer who has previously covered the sport.
