The Orly Mann Racing Team rolls into the beautiful California Motor Speedway needing this race to stay in the points chase for the Cup championship. Henry Erickson (a.k.a. Bear) has Orly's Speed King Chevrolet fine-tuned for the grueling race on Sunday. But first Paulo, Doug, and Alphonse take a little break at the Pomona Fairgrounds NHRA Nationals. Grumpy Doc Brewster has the Speed King top fueler belching flames as it makes over 6000 horsepower. Can driver Loren Janine stay together long enough to make yet another 315 mph run, or will the demons of the past destroy her and the team?
California is a fast-paced racing story for all ages. It is packed full of authentic action so real the reader can smell the tire smoke and feel the thunder of crackling exhausts.
