The listing, The Black Tiger by Patrick O'Connor has ended.
Paperback in very good condition. I would say this is for a boy between 10-14.
From the second young Woody Hartford laid eyes on the Black Tiger he had confidence in the new model sports car. But everyone except her owner, Jim Randolph, called her a "killer"of faulty design.
Through Randolph, Woody gets a chance to do some racing in an MG, discovers it's a scary business; and crosses his first finish line convinced of his own cowardice.
Then, through a twist of fate, Woody is offered a chance to race the Tiger. Pulled one way by his fear, and another way by his pride, Woody heads into the most important and exciting undertaking of his life.
This story of pro racing in California will please hot-rod and sports-car enthusiasts.
