DRAG STRIP

by William Campbell Gault ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 30, 1959

William Gault once more captures the quickening of pulse and the sense of exhilaration the racing driver feels when he drives a solid roadster and knows that he is driving at maximum speed. In this story, of a teen ager's attempt to gain for his California town a suitable racing course, two themes are interwoven: the problem of cooperation between divergent elements, namely, a Mexican boy and his Gringo neighbors; the need to restrict racing to its proper environment, the course. In the combined efforts of the hero and his Mexican friends lies the solution to both problems, a solution arrived at by understanding, dedication, and mutuality of basic interests. Excitingly written, well written, this is a story which at no point sacrifices either suspense or sanity. A must for the young driver.
