Contains 6 stories
Money Hungry
6 pp · car

When Clint Curtis spots his protégé Ray Cassidy turning reckless on the track—willing to wreck other cars for prize money—he decides to teach him a lesson the only way he knows how: by entering a race himself in a borrowed jalopy and out-driving him. As Clint and Ray battle it out at Starlight Park, their rivalry on the track becomes a high-speed showdown that neither driver will forget.

Pile-Up!
6 pp · car

Seventeen-year-old Ed Engstrom takes his older brother's prized custom hot rod for a joyride and crashes it into Lemon Lake, earning himself speeding tickets, a wrecked car, and a harsh lesson from Joe, who's away at the Air Force Academy—Ed has to rebuild the car himself from the ground up. With grit, determination, and help from neighbors and friends, Ed takes on odd jobs and learns new skills to pay for parts and repairs, discovering something unexpected about himself in the process. When Joe finally comes home on leave, Ed gets his chance to prove what he's built.

Race of a Lifetime!
4 pp · car

When Joe Kinchek enters a Grand Prix with his radical, unconventional race car—a fuel-injected flat-six design that skeptical European drivers say is pure suicide—he's determined to prove both the machine and himself. His low-profile American entry outperforms the established competition, but when disaster strikes at incredible speeds, Kinchek must rely on the engineering principles he's staked everything on to survive.

The Prize
6 pp · car
Clint Curtis

Clint Curtis has a dream: take a hybrid hot rod built from American stock car parts and race it in Mexico's legendary Panam—a grueling 2,000-mile road race that the racing world thinks is suicide for an amateur. With help from his fellow Road Knights club members and support from hot-rodders south of the border, Clint enters the race determined to prove that a homegrown American hot rod can run with the world's finest professional racing machines. What he discovers along the way is worth far more than any trophy.

Novice Notes
1 pp · car; romance

A young woman warns Speedy against getting dirty while working on his car engine, but he shows her how to properly clean it using solvent and kerosene—and proves that keeping things tidy means he can still make it to the dance looking sharp. This practical how-to proves that a hot-rodder can maintain both his machine and his reputation without sacrificing either.

Lest We Forget: George Washington
1 pp · advocacy; biography
George Washington

George Washington rises from teenage mapmaker and surveyor to commissioned officer in the Virginia Regiment, serving in the French and Indian War—but when Governor Dinwiddie congratulates him on his heroism, Washington makes clear his true allegiance is to America, not the British Crown. This biographical tribute traces how the future Father of Our Country dedicated his life to service from his earliest years, sowing the seeds of the independence struggle to come.
