Death Rides the Wall!
4 pp · car

Kirk Moran, driving the Bukajanian Special in a high-stakes race, faces a split-second choice when a rival spins into his path—crash into him and risk both their lives, or swerve toward the wall and likely die. He chooses the wall, sacrificing his car to save the other driver, only to survive the wreck and confront his fear of racing again. A week later, with a rebuilt car and renewed courage, he pushes through a dangerous turn—this time deliberately hitting the wall, proving he’s reclaimed his nerve.

The Lucky Misfit

After a girl he admires calls his car "ugly," Clint takes it upon himself, with help from his father and the Road Knights, to teach her and other girls about the functional design and engineering behind their jalopies. As the girls begin to appreciate the clever mechanics and performance of the cars, the once-dismissed hot rods earn newfound respect.
