Looking for a small red paperback I read in high school around 1982-83. It's about a street racer who drove a "Merc", wrecked it and an acquaintance/racer bought and built another one very similar, if not identical. He could not race it himself, so he hired the first guy who wrecked to race it for him.
I THOUGHT thevtitle was somethi ngnlike “Into the Night”, hutbi can’t find ANYTHING with that title.
