The Thundering Herd
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis and his Chevrolet Battlewagon face off against the legendary Thundering Herd, a pair of dominant Dodge A/FX stockers, in a high-stakes drag racing showdown.

6 pp · car

Ken King, driving his powerful King Cobra, struggles with cornering during a road race, falling behind despite having the fastest car. Determined to improve, he studies a skilled Porsche driver’s technique, learning to brake and navigate turns with precision. As the race progresses, he begins to apply what he’s learned, ready to challenge for the lead.

The Return of the Champion
6 pp · car

Ben Maxwell, a former racing champion left with a limp and a useless arm after a devastating crash, returns to the track not as a driver, but as a mechanic—only to be pushed into one final race when his rival, the arrogant Grant Gray, quits in fear. With his old car, Number 6, deemed cursed, Ben must prove he still has what it takes, driving with one arm and a body still healing, to reclaim the title and silence the doubters.

Final Test
5 pp

Gus Ryan, still smarting from a reckless stunt by Chick Gibson, spends weeks secretly upgrading his old Chev with a powerful new engine. When Chick challenges him to a race at the oval, Gus must decide whether to use his upgraded car to settle the score — or teach Chick a lesson in humility.
