And more's the pity. But if we're gonna talk about rebellious
kids, hot rods and stuff like that, we can't forget that when
the first Brock Callahan books failed to set the world on
fire commercially, William Campbell Gault turned to writing
such great stuff as DIRT TRACK SUMMER.
In fact, I picked up my first Brock because I recognized
Gault's name from all those hot rod novels I read as a
kid.
Vroom, vroom, everybody.
