Cannonball Loses A Flag
5 pp · car

Cannonball James, a talented midget racer, wins admirers both on the track and in the wrong circles—when two crooks spot his driving skill, they muscle him into becoming their getaway driver for a robbery, threatening to blow up his future father-in-law's garage if he refuses. As the heist date looms, Cannonball's strange behavior catches the attention of those closest to him, especially his girlfriend Ellen, who discovers his terrible secret and takes matters into her own hands.

Pancake Alley
2 pp · car

At the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, drivers push their hot rods to the absolute limit in time trials that demand precision as much as raw speed—where even a thousandth of a second can separate victory from defeat. This 1952 story captures the thrilling reality of the National Speed Trials, from the brutal safety inspections to the heart-stopping moment when a racer hits the photo-electric beam and "Crocker's Clock" locks in their fate at better than 200 miles per hour. Witness the machines, the drivers, and the sensitive timing technology that makes these speed runs the most accurate—and most unforgiving—competition in motorsport.

Bad Boy
5 pp · car

Skid Reynolds has a shot at the big prize when his boss teams him with rival driver Al Graxel, but their partnership gets off to a rough start—and when a sabotaged test run leaves Skid hospitalized, suspicion falls on him instead. Now recovered and desperate to clear his name, Skid discovers the truth about Graxel's betrayal and sets out to stop him before he can disappear across the border.

New York to Paris on Wheels
6 pp · car

In 1952, George Millman and his mechanic Don Colvin set out to win the New York to Paris auto race in an ambitious 1908 cross-continental and trans-Siberian marathon—but their early detour through Alaska and a series of catastrophic setbacks in the Siberian wilderness nearly end their dreams before they start. When their car is wrecked and Millman is injured, Don must rebuild the vehicle from scattered parts while fending off wolf packs, then take the wheel himself to chase down their German rivals across Russia and toward the finish line in Paris. It's a grueling test of mechanical ingenuity, nerve, and the kind of teamwork that transforms a self-doubting delivery driver into a champion.

Bush Track Sentence
6 pp · car

Cab Pearson once dominated the big racing circuits, but after being framed for sabotaging a rival driver's car—a crash that killed the driver—he's been blacklisted to the bush tracks, haunted by the accusation and struggling with doubt. Now, racing at Harry Bowles' small-time speedway, Cab discovers that Bowles himself profited from that long-ago frame-up, and a chance at redemption might just mean tearing through one more dangerous race to prove what he's really made of.
