A drag race features a yellow car nicknamed "Yellow Tail" competing against a blue car driven by Carter, with the yellow car's driver dominating the competition. The story follows the mechanics and strategy behind the race, including pit stops for refueling, as another driver named Cannonball challenges the favored Sid Lippin to a matchup in a red hot rod. One character attempts to gather evidence against Sid to have him disqualified from racing, consulting with a mechanic and later reading about Ace Ackroyd in a horse racing newspaper before challenging Sid to run against him again.
