Dragstrip Hotrodders [Drag-Strip Hotrodders] #16

Scott Jackson and his friend Motors McHorn race after the mysterious flying car—the "Flying Thingie"—that defies physics with its sudden wings and jet engine, only to crash into the trees on Hawk Mountain Road. As they investigate the wreckage, they uncover strange features like invisible glass panels and a hidden driver, leading Scott to fear the vehicle may be more than just a mechanical oddity.

Dan Hendon, fired from Speck’s Speed Shop after a blown engine ruins a customer’s car, starts his own garage on Henry Street, determined to prove himself. With help from old friends and the local drag racing crew, he rebuilds a race car and sets out to challenge Speck in the Tri-State Meet, racing not for money but to settle a long-standing rivalry.

Ken King, still haunted by his infamous reputation, pushes through a brutal 25-lap race against the fearsome Hoss Power, who rules the track with intimidation. As Ken battles his way up from behind, the two drivers engage in a final, high-stakes showdown that ends not in victory, but in a choice that defies expectations.
