Clint Curtis

Clint Curtis finds himself in serious trouble when a reckless driver swerves into him on a twisting road, leaving a young woman critically injured in the collision. As Clint becomes the prime suspect and his license is suspended, he and his Road Knights friends rally to help the injured girl while evidence slowly emerges that may prove his innocence. A gripping tale of loyalty, responsibility, and the power of doing the right thing when the stakes are highest.

The Big, Big Model Car
5 pp · car

When Vince Baker encourages his longtime friend Bill Everard—a former invalid who's finally healthy enough to pursue bigger dreams—to build a full-sized car based on his meticulously designed model, the two friends dive headlong into an ambitious project: reconstructing a totaled MG using fiberglass panels, salvaged parts, and genuine elbow grease. As Bill learns to drive and the car takes shape with help from the Road Racers club, he discovers that the real reward goes far beyond finishing the machine. This 1963 tale celebrates the power of friendship, second chances, and a community that builds each other up—one car, one project, one friend at a time.

Giveaway

Clint Curtis

When Clint Curtis and the Road Knights acquire a supposedly jinxed racing car from a discouraged driver, they're determined to prove that careful maintenance and a little luck can transform even the unluckiest machine on the track. After tuning up the temperamental Karajenian Special, Curtis takes it for a test run that proves nearly fatal—but that's only the beginning of whether this hard-luck racer can ever truly be trusted behind the wheel. Jack Bianco, a professional driver who once owned the car, must decide if the jinx is real or if a fresh number and fresh attitude are all that's needed to turn things around.

Poor Cousin Clint

Clint Curtis

When Clint Curtis arrives at his cousin's town for the summer, he discovers the local hot-rodders—the "Bombers"—dismiss homemade cars as inferior to their factory-built Detroit machines. After one too many insults, Clint makes a bold wager: he'll build a competitive hot-rod from salvage-yard parts on a shoestring budget and beat their best time, or he'll polish their cars for a month. What unfolds is a test of skill, determination, and whether a homegrown hot-rodder can prove that real automotive knowledge beats a fancy price tag.
