The joy of winning and the hard lumps that came before the wins. The long nights on the road, the struggle to find pushrods that dont bend (make your own), and risk of learning how to mix Nitromethane.Pete Hill was and is the real deal who had no big sponsors. Pete built his own bikes and won with an outdated engine design: the Knucklehead. Jackie walks the reader through each setback and each win. She puts you right in the middle of the action.
