The Story

Adrenaline offers all the thrills and power of speed with exhilarating writing about NASCAR, speed records, third-world road trips, driving in war zones, getaways, 'pick-up' competitions (drag races and games of chicken), and all the other activities that offer adventure on wheels. Speed includes passages from Road Fever by erstwhile adventurer Tim Cahill; a selection from Charles Portis's anarchic The Dog of the South; a description of driving across Africa from Stuart Stephens's Malaria Dreams; E. B. White's elegiac essay on the Model T; a piece from Roads by Larry McMurtry; a selection from The Wildest Ride: A History of NASCAR; and more. 16 black-and-white photos heighten these pulse-pounding stories.
