"Speek Kills" vs "King of Thunderboat Row" vs. "Blue Thunder" ?
Gentleman
Just got done reading the Don Arronow post. Very interesting. I was wondering about the books. Are they all about the same subject? If not, which is about what? Would you recommend one above the others? Just curious.
Thanks,
Mike

I have all three, Blue Thunder and Speed Kills are about Dons private, behind the scenes life and King of Thunderboat row is about the companies that he had created. Does not go into his private life.
I had found them all very interesting!

I agree,everyone who loves our sport/hobby should have all 3. Another must read is Iron Fist,the lives of Carl Kiekhaefer.

I would recommend reading them all as they are very different. It is amazing how there are many interesting sides to the story.
