Contains 5 stories
Taming the Tiger
6 pp · car

When reckless driver Tom Hogarth terrorizes the roads and humiliates fellow motorist Billy Dunne, Clint Curtis of the Road Knights sees an opportunity to teach him a lesson—on ice. The secret weapon is Billy's nimble Swedish-made Saab, whose front-wheel drive makes it nearly unbeatable on the frozen track at Blue Lake, setting up a head-to-head showdown where superior handling might finally trump Tiger Tom's arrogance. It's a clever reminder that brains and the right machine can outrun pure speed and attitude.

Big Man on the Street
6 pp · car

Ragtop Reagan is all swagger and no substance—a loudmouthed drag racer convinced he's the best on the street, until he runs into Ken King, the reigning NHRA hot rod champion. When Ragtop challenges Ken to prove himself, he's forced to put up or shut up at the local drag strip, where his arrogance meets the unforgiving reality of actual competition. Watch as this braggart learns a hard lesson about the difference between talking big and racing big.

Wild, Man, Wild
6 pp · car

When Stub Cordera's reckless driving gets him voted out of the Road Knights and stripped of his license, he falls in with a rougher crowd and turns to illegal street racing for cash. Clint Curtis, concerned his old friend is heading toward serious trouble, devises a plan to teach him a lesson—challenging him to a drag race in a deceptively souped-up jalopy. What unfolds is a high-speed showdown that forces Stub to reckon with the consequences of his wild ways.

The Front End
1 pp · non-fiction; car

This 1964 safety-focused feature breaks down the critical mechanics of front-end maintenance, from kingpin integrity and wheel balance to the precise angles that keep your car tracking true at speed. Learn why a shimmy or side-play isn't just annoying—it's a warning sign that could cost you tires, mileage, or worse, and discover what toe-in, caster, and camber actually do to keep your wheels pointed straight when it matters most. Proper front-end alignment isn't complicated once you understand it, and it's a lot cheaper than the alternative.

Slowpoke
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis pilots a purposefully slower '63 Ford for mysterious racing veteran Gabe Ruckmann at the competitive Rudd Lake Championship, relying on his expert tail-gating technique to keep pace with faster machines on a challenging 2.87-mile course. As Curtis threads through the field with precision and nerve, he discovers there's more to Ruckmann's decision to keep racing this "jinxed" car than meets the eye. A test of skill, strategy, and determination unfolds across a grueling track where the smartest driver might just outrun the fastest engines.
