Dragstrip Hotrodders [Drag-Strip Hotrodders] #15

When Walter stumbles upon a suitcase full of stolen bank money, three desperate robbers—Rico, Cannon, and Monkey—become convinced he's their man, especially after he flashes new bills to cover a fender-bender. Scot Jackson finds himself caught up in the chaos when Walter ropes him into teaching him how to handle a high-performance dragster, right as the bank robbers close in for a confrontation. Now tied up and under the gun, both boys must find a way out of this dangerous predicament.

When Ray and his hot-rodding buddy Judd Reynolds test-drive vintage machines—a flathead V-8 and a Cadillac-powered T-bucket—Ray's father Dan Mullins finds himself drawn back into the world he left behind, sharing stories of the wild, lawless desert races of twenty-five years ago. As the old hot-rodder recounts his reckless youth on makeshift tracks, thrilling victories, and the dangerous crashes that taught him hard lessons, the young racers begin to understand the price of speed.

A young hotrodder in his Mustang can't seem to catch a break on the drag strip, losing race after race despite his 390-cube Ford and constant tweaks to the engine. When a rival driver challenges him to swap cars and prove that the real problem is behind the wheel, Jerry's forced to face a hard truth about what it takes to win. With Minerva in his corner and his pride on the line, he'll learn that the best piece of equipment in any dragrace isn't bolted to the chassis.
