This photo storybook is told in the words of Heidi, a winning off road racer for seven years, who tells about racing in her first Baja 1000 race in the Mexican desert, showing thrilling color photos of all the action. You'll find out how a normal looking truck is made ready to speed safely through the desert, over sand, gravel, and mud. You'll see how thousands of fans flock to see the trucks and drivers before the race, cheering on the many types of vehicles as every 30 seconds another starts on its way. You'll read how teamwork and focus overcome the challenges of maneuvering through dust, rocks, holes, and hills — all day and all night as they race across the desert. Exciting words and photos tell the story of how the crew works its magic to speed them on their way at each pit stop, until the racers jubilantly head for the finish line. Young readers will want to read and re-read this adventure, and closely examine all the details in the brilliant color photos. The Lucasville Legends books are designed to capture the imagination of readers from second grade to high school, using features proven to engage reluctant readers.
