5) Donzi targets next generation of race fans

Donzi Marine is forming an APBA Offshore partnership with pop band O-Town for the 2003 offshore racing season.  Band members were on hand to show support for Donzi and their new O-Town/Audacity Racing factory 2 class 38 ZR. Sporting the O-Town logo and a graphics package, a rendering of their new F2 was unveiled for the racing media and O-Town fans alike.

Iron Fist: The Lives of Carl Kiekhaefer, by Jeffrey L. Rodengen - This great book reveals the breathtaking life of the indomitable founder of Mercury Marine.

To achieve his obsession of making Mercury the largest manufacturer of marine propulsion in the world, he would sacrifice almost anything. Readers of Rodengen's superb book will encounter industrial drama of exhilarating proportions, from first time revelations of a secret multi-billion dollar conspiracy of friendship, to Kiekhaefer's ruthless battle for majority ownership, and the wholesale abandonment of his family and traditions.  Hardcover: 640 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 2.00 x 9.50 x 7.75; Price: $29.95
