The breakneck story of a wild breed of men - and their thrill-hungry women. The tearing shriek of metal against metal, the stink of gasoline fumes, the sweat of men working all night in the pit, and the cheap perfume of the girls who hang around the track looking for kicks . . . this is the souped-up world of the stock-car racer. This is also the story of Ace Jones, a man whose flesh and soul have grown attuned to the battered iron heaps that are his whole life - and of a girl named Sandy, who sees in him the same fever that burned out her husband, the same wild streak that made her love him. Ace is running from his wild past when he comes across Town, a run-down spot in the middle of nowhere with a racetrack of its very own. Can Ace make an honest life for himself in Town, or will he crash and burn, taking Sandy with him? Originally published under the pseudonym Angus Vicker, this is Felsen's first rodding novel for adults.
