HYDROPLANE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE

  1970-1974

Hydroplane Quarterly was initially published in 1970 by Tim Chance who not only was the creator and editor of the magazine but an active boat racer as well. Hydroplane Quarterly's primary focus was on Alky and Modified race boats and engines. Tim published about 20 issues before the magazine shut down due to of all things a union labor dispute. The issues had some great articles profiling prominent racers, prop makers, boat builders along with engine setup information.

Most of the issues posted here came from the magazine creator and editor, Tim Chance. I am extremely grateful for Tim's generosity. Another contributor who I am equally greatful to is Al Lang, a racer in his own right, who lent several issues to the project. Without Tim and Al's generosity this part of the webpage would not exist. Charlie Williams also contributed to this site since I am shamelessly swiping format from a page out of his excellent web page Classic Outboard Race Engines.

All issues are available as complete issues in PDF format or as single pages as an accomodation to those with telephonic internet connections. Use the index to see the contents of each issue and go to those pages that interest you. This should make the unavoidable slowness of telephone downloads a little more bearable. If you see any errors please bring them to my attention.
