Speeding Auto Tows Aquaplane (Jul, 1934)
Speeding Auto Tows Aquaplane
DOWN in Florida, where good roads often parallel the water for miles at a stretch, aquaplane enthusiasts have invented a new sports thrill. Selecting a stretch of water whose banks are not lined with trees, the thrill-seekers hitch an aquaplane to a speeding automobile with a long tow rope. In the absence of motor boat wash, great speed may be attained by the rider.
It’s good to see scrupulous safety standards are being maintained by those involved. I mean, what could possibly go wrong here? 🙂
It looks like the beginning of one of those teen films just before something really, really nasty happens…except it’s in the 1930s…and there isn’t an axe-murderer.
