Duct Tape & Glory
Where do racecar drivers come from? Auto racing has no high school athletic programs, college draft, or
official minor league farm system. Aspiring racers are left to sift through endless choices of cars, tracks,
and sanctioning bodies in hopes that talent and luck will find them in the right place at the right time.
Duct Tape and Glory chronicles the chosen path of Southern Indiana dreamer, Scotty Orme, and his
quest to become a professional racecar driver.
This book is about "the getting there". You've heard plenty about NASCAR, Daytona, and the Indianapolis
500. These stories are about UMRA, Thunder Valley Raceway, and the Halloween 200. They're about
Saturday night short tracks, shoestring budgets, redneck engineering, late nights, long drives, family
bonds, blind determination, painful defeat, and hard-earned victory. It's not the story of a hall of fame
superstar. It's the story of the other 99%. The kid that chases the dream and learns along the way that
sometimes the finish is less important than the effort, the destination is less important than the
journey, and the person you expected to be is less important than the one you've become.
