Trophy Girl
a
Novel
by Marlis Manley
(Note: the author is the stepdaughter of Frankie Lies, a
hot-shot Kansas-based dirt-tracker who raced Jalopies, Modifieds,
and Supers in the 1950s and ’60s, and competed in a Grand National
race at Trenton in 1958. Manley’s descriptions of dirt racing in
that period are spot on.)
It's summer 1957, and when fourteen-year-old Sandy Turner goes
missing—along with one of her late mother's hidden scrapbooks—Aunt
Maggie can think of only one place the girl might be.
Frank Haggard, the race-car driver in those yellowing news
clippings, assumes the girl claiming to be his daughter is a fan
acting on a dare, until Maggie tracks them down.
Memories of his annulled marriage to Maggie's sister flood over him,
and the timing couldn't be worse. With the first-ever National
Championship for stock cars a week away, the last thing he needs is
a child-custody battle with Maggie-as determined as she is
beautiful. When the car he's planned to pilot is turned over to a
younger driver, Frank and Maggie make the riskiest deal of their
lives: her savings for a race car, but if Frank wins, he gives up
his daughter.
Soft cover, 328 pages.

The Legend of
the First Super Speedway:
The Battle for the Soul of American Auto Racing
A
novel by Mark Dill
Foreword by Willy T. Ribbs
Introduction by Al Unser Jr.
The
Legend of the First Super Speedway
is a
novel but told from the perspective of racing pioneers Barney
Oldfield and Carl Fisher. The book thrusts you into the early 20th
century with vivid interpretations of auto racing and what it would
be like to walk among the people of the era and grasp their world
view. You will meet rugged characters as they get "corned" on
whiskey, chew "chaw," and bounce violently as they scorch the bricks
of America's first speedway. You will ride with them on trains,
bound across the craggy terrain of road races, and step over dead
horses rotting in the street.
The
world convulsed with technological change, and the winners mastered
it. Everything unfolds through the eyes of Oldfield and Fisher as
they grapple with a cultural battle for the soul of American auto
racing. Most importantly, early auto racing's good, bad, and ugly
are put before you in an unvarnished fashion. No storyteller needs
to dramatize a single detail because the amazing events actually
took place.
Soft
cover, 394 pages.
