When a young man goes to college, one of his primary goals is to stay under the radar. When one of his professors catches on to him, he finds himself assigned to become half of a competition team trying to design an alternatively-fueled vehicle that can outrun the others.
This is a fun story, not too serious but with enough depth to be interesting.
