Contains 4 stories
Never Say Good Luck
6 pp · car

Superstitious race driver Lester Hokey is convinced that hearing the phrase "good luck" before a race is a jinx—and when his well-meaning brother-in-law Herman keeps saying it anyway, Lester's nerves spiral into a series of escalating mishaps on the track. As Lester desperately tries to counter the curse with his own superstitions, he discovers that avoiding bad luck might be harder than he thought.

The Dune Riders

Clint takes his friend Alex out for a wild dune buggy race in the desert, but when Alex pressures him into letting her take the wheel, an overconfident mistake sends their buggy tumbling down a massive dune.

In this recounting of the historic 1937 Vanderbuilt Cup Race, former champion Tazio Nuvolari enters the competition confident in his chances for a second victory, but finds himself battling through a crowded field in his Alfa Romeo.

Slow Champ

Clint Curtis is struggling to keep up with faster, more powerful stock cars in his '62 Plymouth, so he turns to an unconventional tactic: drafting closely behind his competitors to reduce drag and gain a competitive edge. With help from fellow racer Hap Wylie, Clint practices the dangerous technique at Glove Corners before taking it into a real race against Mo Mosely's Dodge, where split-second driving and nerves of steel become his only real advantages.
