What is In the Fast Lane! about?

Dixie O’Day is determined to win the All-Day Race, but his rickety car has a habit of causing trouble. With his best friend Percy beside him, Dixie must tackle steep hills, unexpected obstacles and plenty of mishaps. To make matters worse, their arch-enemy Lou-Ella has a shiny new sports car and seems certain to leave them far behind. As the race twists and turns, Dixie and Percy discover that courage, quick thinking and friendship may matter more than speed.
