He Who Laughs Last
6 pp · car

Clint and Alex stumble upon a frantic cry for help from beneath a car, only to discover it’s a prank by Waldo Pun, the town’s notorious practical joker. Days later, while driving down a country highway, they come across a crashed car hidden in brush, prompting Alex to insist they investigate—though Clint is hesitant, unsure if the driver is still alive.

Targa Florio
6 pp · car

Ken King races in the grueling Targa Florio, a 45-mile mountain course with over 700 curves, as he's pursued by the feared "Mountain Chief," Baron Wolfgang von Brock, in a silver Porsche 904. Despite his Cobra Ford's powerful engine, Ken struggles with the tight turns, losing ground on the steep, winding roads, and later faces mechanical damage that forces a pit stop and a switch to his co-driver, John Weems.

Banzai Run
6 pp · car

Clint, shaken from a terrifying crash during a qualifying run, finds himself behind the wheel of Salty Surfer’s outdated, lightweight Chevy after their own dragster is destroyed. With little hope and no money to fix their rig, the two strike a desperate deal: Salty will drive, and if they win, they’ll split the prize—though the odds are stacked against them. The story builds as Clint races the battered car through the rounds, surviving mechanical failures and underdog odds, culminating in a shocking final showdown where luck and grit may be the only things keeping them in the game.
