Bonneville Bomb
8 pp · Car

Scot Jackson brings his lakester to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, where top drivers push their machines to the limit chasing world records in high-speed competition far removed from the drag-racing scene. When a mechanical failure scrubs his first attempt and a rival driver's boastful 245 mph run threatens to overshadow the Rod Masters crew, Scot gears up for a desperate late-day run to reclaim his shot at glory. With his spotter Flip calling the shots from a chase vehicle, Scot threads the needle through the timing traps on the vast desert surface, racing against the clock and his own nerves to post a competitive time.

Beginners Luck
6 pp · Car

Rick Roberts prepares his race car for practice at the Formula One International Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, New York, when two star-struck kids manage to sneak into the restricted pit area. One of them, emboldened by youthful arrogance and a desire to prove himself, makes a reckless decision that puts him in serious danger. Roberts' response to the chaos that follows reveals as much about his character as it does about what it takes to become a true champion.

Fantastic Three Wheelers
4 pp · Car

Frank Carter, a legendary sidecar racing champion, teams up with eighteen-year-old Ronnie Douglas for a high-stakes international competition where every turn demands perfect teamwork and split-second coordination. When rain transforms the track and Carter makes his move against the leading BMW, young Ronnie faces his severest test yet—proving whether he belongs alongside one of the sport's greats.

A Helping Hand
7 pp · Car

When Scot and the Rod Masters launch a courtesy campaign to improve the public's perception of hot rodders, they discover that good deeds don't always come easy—especially when suspicious motorists judge them by their reputation rather than their actions. After facing rejection and ridicule during their initial attempts to help stranded drivers, Scot refuses to give up on the project, convinced that persistence and kindness will eventually change minds. As the Rod Masters continue their mission over the following weeks, they learn whether proving themselves to the community is worth the struggle.
