Episode 5
Tommie is finally back out on the track with Amelia, but it’s still unknown if Groovy Hollow will return for a fourth year. Will Tommie even make it up against the pros, much less an unbeatable racer like Bucky Blackwell?
The Legend of Groovy Hollow
All young Tommie Jo Swanson ever wanted to be was a racecar driver. A native of Commonwealth, a sleepy little town in Southwest Virginia, she always dreamed of running bad-fast cars on the NASCAR circuit. But every racing dreamer has to start somewhere. For her sixteenth birthday, her father purchased a late model stock from local racer, Jerry Slater, who had fallen on hard times. The goal was to one day race the car at the mysteriously found lost speedway of Groovy Hollow Raceway.
The infamous bullring of a short track, Groovy Hollow, inexplicably disappeared in the mid-1990s during a lightning storm. Also disappearing that night was the track champion and leader of that final race, the infamous legend of Groovy Hollow, Bucky Blackwell. But now the track has been rediscovered, deep in the twisting woods of Commonwealth, Virginia. Bucky has returned, too, with his dangerously fast (and reckless) Halloween Machine, and he is dead-set on reclaiming his throne.
Over the course of four years, Tommie finds herself entangled in a terrifying mystery surrounding Groovy Hollow and its infamous Halloween Machine. This novel is about the bond between daughter and father over the sport of auto racing and the various corruptions of the industry, some venturing into the realm of the supernatural.
