Precision Happy
5 pp · car

After returning from Korea, Bick Lowell accepts a reckless bet to race his ordinary used car against Blackie Carino's souped-up speed wagon at the county fair track. What begins as a cocky gamble becomes a meticulous obsession: Bick devours racing theory, tears down and rebuilds his engine with surgical precision, and practices his driving relentlessly until he's transformed himself from happy-go-lucky kid into a focused competitor. His victory sets off a chain of opportunities that could reshape his entire future—if he can keep his head as clear as his carburetor tuning.

The Taming of Wrecker Gates
6 pp · car

At twenty-two, Wrecker Gates has earned his nickname through reckless driving and wrecked cars—but when he tangles with the redheaded racer Red Drago, he discovers that not everyone has a wealthy father bankrolling their racing dreams. Forced to work in the oil fields to earn his next car, Wrecker learns hard lessons about respect and responsibility alongside the very driver he'd treated as a rival. When a second chance comes around, he and Red discover what it takes to be winners both on and off the track.

Flashy Import

When Paul's dangerous driving threatens catastrophe on the track, Ted must make a split-second gamble to save them both, proving that real skill means knowing when to hold back.
