Dragstrip Hotrodders [Drag-Strip Hotrodders] #10

Jerry Tyler has poured his heart into building the perfect street rod—twenty coats of lacquer, chromed and customized to perfection—only to watch his girlfriend swoon over Moldy Harry's beat-up dragster instead. Desperate to win her back, Jerry makes a reckless decision: he'll trade in his polished creampuff, scavenge parts from a junkyard, and build himself a true screamer that'll leave Harry in the dust. What emerges from weeks of cutting and welding is something nobody expected—a bizarre, awkward contraption that looks like it shouldn't run at all, let alone fly down the strip.

Nick Garry and Bart Lukes are rival motorcycle racers with a dangerous grudge—after a collision during a race leaves Garry bruised, Lukes escalates his intimidation tactics, forcing Garry to confront him directly before they meet again at the grueling 40-mile closed-course race. With his Triumph TR6 prepped and his nerves tested, Garry must navigate both the treacherous track and his heated rivalry if he's going to prove himself on the road.

Len Arliss and his partner Smitty dream big after a crash with their Fiat ends their stint as casual hot-rodders—they decide to finance a serious rail job with a Dodge Hemi and hit the drag circuit. After months of practice and tuning with help from seasoned racer Red Kane, Len pilots their creation through local competitions and regional eliminator races, posting increasingly impressive times. Can the young driver and his machine make their mark when it counts most?
