Contains 6 stories
Trial by Fire
6 pp · car

When a raging wildfire threatens to consume a town, a young hot rodder and his companions devise a desperate plan: drive through the inferno to reach a dam, load their dragster with dynamite, and blow a gap to flood the valley before the flames reach civilization. With their vehicle damaged and the floodwaters rising fast, they'll have to race against time—and nature itself—to survive the consequences of their own bold scheme. It's a white-knuckle test of nerve, machinery, and whether a fast car can outrun a wall of water.

Souped up Siren!
7 pp · car

Chet Grandi is determined to win big at the stock car races—the prize money is his ticket to automotive engineering school—but his plans collide with Joy Ramsey, the boss's daughter, who's equally set on taking first place in her own souped-up rig. When a near-fatal crash during their heated rivalry lands Chet in the hospital, circumstances force an unexpected turn that neither of them saw coming. This 1953 tale pits ambition against pride on the racing oval, where the real finish line might be somewhere else entirely.

Death Takes the Wheel!
2 pp · car

Hank Carson wins races through dirty tricks and dangerous jokes—until the day his latest con backfires and his car's axle truly snaps, trapping him behind the wheel with no way out. When nobody believes his real emergency because he's cried wolf too many times, fate delivers its own punchline.
