What is the first name of the person who finds their dad has mysteriously disappeared?
Steve Hall is a young sprintcar driver from Toowoomba who has returned home to Sydney to team up with his dad Ted and his business partner Tomas in their towing and panel beating business "T&T Towing", as well as to team up with his dad who is also a Sprintcar driver at the local speedway. He arrives to find his dad has mysteriously disappeared and Tomas is being pressured to be part of an illegal "chop shop" ring.
After continuing to resist joining the ring, Tomas is set-up and painfully discovers (having his arm broken by a tyre iron) the group of car thieves involved in "midnite spares" (the stealing and chopping of cars to send interstate) were responsible for Ted's untimely death. The thieves are headed by bent  Police Detective Howard and dodgy businessmen Vincent and Sidebottom. Steve and Tomas' tow truck drivers Wimpy, Rabbit, and their friends pursue the criminals and attempt to capture them, following Tomas' advice to Steve "Don't get angry son, get even."
Steve also meets and falls in love with Ruth Mintos and the pair have to convince her old fashioned mother Maria as well as her Uncle Harry that they want to be together and get married. Steve also tries to prove his prowess at the wheel of a sprintcar at Sydney's Parramatta City Raceway against Sydney and Australia's leading drivers including Garry Rush, George Tatnell, Rob Worthington (who also doubled as Steve when racing), Terry Becker, Bob Blacklaw and Steve Brazier.
