About
Vernon Thought We Meant Full Throttle - Book 2
The Golden Years Gone Wrong Series
by Trudy Myrland
Race day was supposed to bring the town together. Instead, it nearly required official county intervention.
Timberline Speedway has survived dust storms, engine fires, trailer pileups, livestock escapes, generator failures, and one unforgettable incident involving a folding chair and a trombone. But nothing in Brindle Creek history prepared the speedway for Vernon Creek hearing the words:
“Take it slow.”
Because what Vernon heard was:
“FULL THROTTLE.”
Now the entire town is trapped inside another escalating public disaster involving overloaded trailers, confused volunteers, emotionally unstable loudspeakers, race-day traffic jams, pit crews arguing over equipment nobody fully understands, and Sheriff Colton Smith slowly realizing he may eventually need backup from neighboring counties.
Vernon only wanted to help. That was the first mistake.
Meanwhile Earl Forester has begun “improving” race equipment nobody asked him to touch, Kevin Dorsey keeps arriving with dangerous bargain machinery from mysterious auctions, Charlotte Bell has created color-coded emergency systems no human being can follow under pressure, and Mavis Tolliver is threatening people with her broom hard enough to redirect foot traffic.
The people of Brindle Creek are stubborn, loud, competitive, exhausted, overconfident, mechanically questionable, and absolutely determined not to become “old people” quietly sitting at home. They still want to matter. They still want to help. They still believe experience can solve almost anything.
- Even when the trailers are jackknifed.
- Even when the loudspeakers are screaming.
- Even when smoke appears from equipment that definitely should not be smoking.
Especially then.
Filled with escalating chaos, unforgettable characters, small-town heart, and laugh-out-loud comedy, Vernon Thought We Meant Full Throttle is a wildly funny rural disaster adventure where every solution somehow creates three brand-new problems.
Welcome back to Brindle Creek. Please park carefully.
