Taming the Tiger
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis and the Road Knights are at a snowy race at Blue Lake when Billy Dunne, a former victim of the boastful Tiger Tom Hogarth, takes the wheel of his Saab to settle the score. As the icy track challenges every driver, Billy uses his car’s superior traction to steadily close in on Hogarth, who’s overconfident in his Stingray, while the Road Knights watch the showdown unfold.

Big Man on the Street
6 pp · car

Ragtop Reagan, a boastful hot rod enthusiast, challenges Ken King—a real NHRA champion—to a street race after being humbled by his reputation. When the two finally meet on the drag strip, Ragtop’s overconfidence unravels under pressure, leading to a disastrous and humbling defeat.

Wild, Man, Wild
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis and the Road Knights face a crisis when Stub Cordera, their wild and reckless member, gets expelled after a series of dangerous stunts. After being banned from driving, Stub tries to prove himself by challenging Clint and his crew to a drag race—only to be outmaneuvered by a clever trap set by the Road Knights.

The Front End
1 pp · non-fiction; car

This non-fiction feature explains the importance of proper front-end alignment in high-speed driving, highlighting how issues like shimmies or loose kingpins can lead to dangerous accidents. It details key concepts like toe-in, toe-out, caster, and camber, emphasizing that maintaining correct alignment saves tire life and improves safety. The piece concludes with a reminder that regular front-end service is far easier than dealing with the consequences of neglect.

Slowpoke
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis, driving a slower '63 Ford for mysterious reasons, finds himself relying on his skill at tail-gating to stay in contention during the challenging Rudd Lake Championship race. As he sticks close to faster drivers like Jinx Madden, his tactics draw both admiration and frustration, especially from rival drivers who resent being used as a pace-setter.
