Contains 5 stories
Clint Curtis and the Antiques
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis learns a hard lesson when his dedication to racing costs him academically, but the real turning point comes when a chemist named Gene Neccio must prove his revolutionary tire formula by racing against seasoned drivers—including the unscrupulous Tait, who'll stop at nothing to win. As Neccio navigates the track in unfamiliar machinery, he discovers that courage and integrity matter just as much as raw speed.

The Kid They All Picked On
7 pp · car

Ray Horan, a troubled teenager locked up for reckless driving, gets a second chance when Officer Ben Claiborne sees past the angry kid to discover what fractured him—the loss of his mother and a desperate belief that money could have saved her. Working in the police garage during his sentence, Ray channels his natural gift for mechanics into rebuilding a hot rod, and Claiborne proposes an audacious plan: if the officer drives the car to victory in the Cross-Country Classic, Ray's share of the prize money will pay for the damage he caused and give him a real shot at turning his life around. It's a story about redemption through work, trust, and finding the right person willing to believe in you when everyone else has written you off.

The Sea Speeders
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis and his hot-rod crew, the Road Knights, face off against the arrogant Tag Moyes, whose California-built custom car has dominated the beach racing circuit—and whose reckless attitude is making him the dangerous idol of the town's youth. When Moyes taunts Curtis into proving himself, Curtis spends ten days souping up his own rod with a borrowed Pontiac engine to match Moyes's speed and show him up for the fool he really is. Now, with a dangerous squall rolling in, the two racers prepare for a showdown that will determine who truly rules the sand.

Testing the Man
6 pp · car

Gene Neccio, a chemical engineer with a revolutionary tire formula, takes his untested design to the racetrack to prove its durability to skeptical tire manufacturers. When fellow racers dismiss him as just another egghead who'll fold under pressure, Neccio must prove them wrong through high-speed competition. It's a classic clash between innovation and racing tradition on the track.
