White Lightning (Rolling Thunder Stock Car Racing, No. 1)

Rating:
Summary: Poorly written, but still fun to read if you are a real fan
Review: No surprises here. Everything is rather predictable. This is NASCAR's answer to Harlequin Romance novels. Just as women like Harlequin Romance novels despite poor writing, stock car fans will like this book.

Characters are rather one dimensional and very very predictable (gee, is Bubba going for food again?). The dialog is extremely stilted. Names of real race car drivers are thrown in for fun (wonder if royalties are paid?) but you will know the outcome before you reach that page. Considering the early days of the sport, it would have been interesting if the promoter screwed Jodell Lee out of his winnings. At least that would have been a plot twist (albeit the first and only plot twist).

Still a fun read for at the beach or when your mind is in neutral (or perhaps reverse).
