Double Trouble
6 pp · adventure; car

When the Road Knights voted in Mel Regan, they didn't expect a member who'd ignore every safety rule and traffic law in sight—until Clint Curtis takes action after witnessing Mel's reckless driving. A chance encounter with Mel's harsh home life makes Clint sympathetic to the troubled young driver, but when Mel's car is identified in a hit-and-run accident, suspicion falls on Clint instead, launching a dangerous chase through the night. Now Clint must prove his innocence while grappling with the knowledge that Mel—desperate and embittered—may be the real culprit.

Race Against Time
6 pp · adventure; car

Sam Cramer's racing career was destroyed when Doc Baldwin deliberately wrecked him on the final lap to steal a race, leaving Cramer broken in body and spirit in a small Georgia town. Years later, a mysterious young mechanic arrives to rebuild Cramer's ruined car—but when the rebuilt machine finally returns to competition, Cramer discovers the driver is none other than Don Baldwin, Doc's son, facing off against his father in the race of their lives. With Cramer back in the game as crew chief, he must confront the truth about that fateful accident while his car battles for victory on the track.

Hayseed
4 pp · adventure; car

When Ed Graney's childhood friend Joy ditches him for the flashier hot rods around town, he's stuck driving an old farm truck—and looking the part. A sympathetic math teacher offers Ed a deal: help rebuild that pickup into something worth driving, and Ed will help grade papers in return. As Ed transforms both his vehicle and himself with some hard work and discipline, he discovers that Joy might have been waiting to see if he had what it takes.

Weak Man Out!
6 pp · adventure; car

Hokie Rimmon has spent three grueling years scraping together a car and entry fee for the Sebring International—a high-stakes endurance race that demands far more than raw driving skill. Competing alone against factory-backed teams with full pit crews and superior equipment, he'll have to rely on everything he's learned on dirt tracks to survive the night-long trial that separates the truly exceptional drivers from everyone else. What Hokie discovers about himself—and what his competitors learn about him—will challenge everything they thought they knew about what it takes to win.
