When the Throttle Twisters Club challenges Clint and his hot rod gang to a drag race on the airport runway, nobody expects the motorcycle crowd to pose a real threat—but Clint's father knows better, and a crash course in weight-to-power ratios proves just how serious the competition will be. With his engine stripped down and his confidence tested, Clint lines up against Chuck Bonney's Vincent Black Lightning in a high-stakes showdown that puts everything on the line.

When the green flag drops at Le Mans in 1956, forty-nine drivers and their crews face the ultimate endurance test: twenty-four hours of continuous racing through rain, darkness, and mechanical failure.

Only skill, nerve, and sheer stamina will determine who crosses the checkered flag when the clock finally runs down.

Wade faces a choice between chasing wins at any cost or finally driving fair.
