A Memoir of the Last Great American Road Race, and a Journey of Rediscovering What You're Made of
You don't outrun grief. You can't just escape from a dark night of the soul. You have to drive through it...one courageous mile at a time.
Ed Rahill's life has veered off course, and while he dreams of becoming the man his Grandmother taught him to be, he's become haunted by losing the love of his life, and is struggling to have faith in himself.With his foot on the pedal of GT's since he was a young boy, he enters an outlaw road race across America in the tradition of a Cannonball Run.
Ed and his partner Tim didn't think they stood a chance to win "We just didn't want to give up on ourselves." Facing the most aggressive, nationwide highway patrol effort in U.S. history, Rahill was presented with the choice we all face at some time in our lives: succumb to our fears of failure and inadequacy, or find the fortitude to go on and leave the world a better place because we are here.
Experience the spirit of American racing in this odyssey of a memoir that blends:
- A racing adventure filled with high-stakes danger, creative car mods, and heartfelt grit.
- A love story of a romance that was meant to be..."It was just that the time was wrong."
- A reflection on American culture, from the golden age of cars to the modern yearning for purpose.
- A family saga about breaking generational cycles, honoring the people who we've loved and lost, and committing to the promises that shape our lives.
- A spiritual road map for finding meaning, healing through our darkest nights of our soul, and learning how to leave the world a better place because we were here.
