Junk Yard Driver
5 pp · car

Dib Braden's hot rod dreams come crashing down when his faulty brakes cause an accident, leaving him with a debt to mechanic and racer Al Owens—and a job working off eight hundred dollars at a buck an hour. As Dib pours his sweat into the garage, learning everything from carburetors to track maintenance, he transforms his own wrecked jalopy into a competitive machine, earning the nickname "Junk Yard Driver" and discovering that skill and determination matter far more than a car's shine. What starts as paying off a debt becomes something much bigger when Al sees real talent under the grease.

Bill Perry has dreamed since childhood of joining the exclusive 200 M.P.H. Club—a honor reserved only for drivers who average over 200 miles per hour on a record run—and he's brought his modified roadster to the Bonneville Nationals for one final shot at membership. After a grueling week of qualification attempts, Bill pushes his car to the limit on the crucial nine-mile course, but a cooling system failure sends scalding water into the cockpit just as victory seems within reach. This thrilling 1957 story captures the grit it takes to pursue a lifelong dream against the odds.
