Shooting the Mailbox

Coming of Age in Mid-Century America

By: Dave Curkendall,Mack Richards,Ed Hatton

Huck Finn meets Jack Kerouac. In this true adventure story, three farm boys run away from their homes in Upstate New York all the way to California to escape the consequences of a mailbox shooting incident. The year was 1952; the road is Route 66; Dave, Mack, and Ed were 16.Believing they were pursued by the local police, they crowd themselves and their belongings into Ed's 1936 Ford Roadster, leave their ancestral home and turn towards the open road. They runaway from home - or drive away if you will -escape the police and, temporarily at least, the consequences of their crimes.After spending a harrowing week on the road, most of it on Route 66, they arrive in Burbank, CA, exhausted, near broke, but buoyantly happy that they have reached their goal. Neither the buoyancy nor the happiness is to last. The story evokes a long-gone era when the world was new, the skies were clear, and headstrong boys could survive on their own surrounded by the essential goodness of the country.

Life Wide Open

Dave Dion : No Holds Barred

By: Dave Dion

Dave Dion's brand new autobiography proves conclusively why he is considered the most popular Late Model driver in the Northeast. Working with long time announcer and journalist, Dave Moody, Dion talks passionately about his racing career and his family's personal struggle with alcoholism, the Vietnam War, and the pressures of decades on the road. Loaded with photography, it is the classic story of a rugged individualist who pieces together a moral code far more precious that the silver in his hundreds of trophies.
