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.
