Clint Curtis gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's invited to ride alongside Grand Prix ace Manuel Delloro in the legendary Targa Florio—one of the world's most grueling mountain races through Sicily. But when Delloro suffers a wrist injury mid-race, Clint finds himself behind the wheel of the Ferrari, relying on his companion's guidance and the testing runs he's practiced to navigate the treacherous course against fierce competition.

The Zombie!

Young Joey Cole transforms his flashy but underpowered jalopy—nicknamed "The Zombie"—with help from Sergeant Mara, a former hot rodder turned cop who believes in doing the real work under the hood instead of dressing up the outside. As Joey puts in the effort and expense to rebuild his engine properly, he discovers there's more satisfaction in crafting a genuine machine than in cosmetic shortcuts, even as the other local rodders mock his dedication. When Joey finally gets his rebuilt car running, he gets his chance to prove what honest work and a properly tuned engine can do.

The Cream-Puff
4 pp · car

Amos Brady, a humble farmer known around town for his slow chicken truck, shows up driving a decrepit '42 Buick and immediately becomes the target of the Gear-Twisters, a hot-rod club led by Conrad who enjoy nothing more than mocking and racing slower vehicles. When Brady insists he's not interested in a club that cares only about speed and showing off rather than genuine automotive knowledge, Conrad dismisses him outright—but Brady hints he knows more about cars than his old sedan suggests. The stage is set for a clash between the cocky street racers and the quiet farmer who may have more under his hood than anyone realized.

Racing Feud!
7 pp · car

A headstrong American driver named Grogan clashes with his European racing team over unconventional tactics, getting blackballed from the sport for his refusal to play by factory rules. When a wealthy independent owner gives him a second chance behind the wheel, Grogan must prove his worth against the same teams—and the same man—who cast him out. As he racks up victories, Grogan begins to wonder why his old rival Gino Dua seems to be helping rather than hindering him.
