Chase Car
6 pp · car

When Deputy Sheriff Paul Liston's aging cruiser proves no match for Rex Balzer's souped-up Plymouth in a high-speed chase across back roads, the law officer turns to local hot-rodders Clint Curtis and Alex for help—enlisting them as special deputies to pursue the illegal liquor transporter. With a turbocharged car and nerves to match, Clint and Alex take turns behind the wheel in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game through mountain roads and fire trails, determined to catch a driver who's become a genuine threat to everyone on the highway.

Second Prize
5 pp · car

When Drexel Clay's modified '62 Chevy dominates the county drag championships, his skeptical father Ed finally sees past the noise and burnt rubber to discover real engineering talent at work. As Ed learns the physics and precision behind his son's winning machine, he realizes hot-rodding isn't a waste of time—it's a pathway to a future Drexel genuinely loves. Now father and son are about to find out what happens when they both bring their passion to the drag strip.

Model Magic
4 pp · car

After a movie night ends in disaster when a runaway truck crashes into Clint's hot rod, the damaged car sits in insurance limbo—but a chance meeting with a young model builder named Tim Todd opens up an entirely new world of high-speed thrills on a smaller scale. Inspired by Tim's basement workshop and the model racing club's competitive spirit, Clint discovers that building and racing detailed automobiles can capture all the excitement of the real thing. Soon he's ordering parts from the Auto World catalog and ready to dive into the hobby alongside his new friends.

Match Race
6 pp · car

When Clint Curtis arrives in a Central American country with his father, he crosses paths with Pepe de Luna, a wealthy and arrogant local driver who nearly runs him off the road—and whose anti-American attitude has made him an obstacle to Curtis business interests. After a heated confrontation at a social club, De Luna's boasts about his driving skill provoke a challenge: a match race between his prized blood-red Alfa-Romeo and the Pontiac at Clint's disposal. What begins as a test of nerve on a dangerous jungle road becomes something neither driver quite anticipated.

Mean Cop
4 pp · car

Patrolman John Lasher has earned a reputation as the toughest traffic cop in the state, handing out speeding tickets to hot-rodders with zero mercy—and when a group of teenagers led by Conboy decides he's gone too far, they plan an ambush on a lonely stretch of highway. What starts as an attempt to teach the "mean cop" a lesson spirals into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse that forces Lasher to confront why he enforces the law so strictly in the first place.
