Listopia > Hot Rod Heroes

There is some non-fiction out there about hot rods, street machines and various flavors of motorsports, but very little fiction with the same subject matter. This list is to make it easier to find what few nuggets there are. Because there are so few gearhead novels, there'll probably be lots of non-fiction here, over time. But starting out, I'm panning for fictional gold.
