Dragstrip Hotrodders [Drag-Strip Hotrodders] #2

Don Willson's souped-up Tiger is built for speed—a machine loaded with drag-racing equipment that can hit 60 in under six seconds—but when he's caught speeding through town, his father decides it's time to teach his son a lesson about responsibility. With the car sent to the dealer to be stripped of its performance parts and transformed into something far more ordinary, Don must confront what it means to live with the consequences of reckless driving during a long, humbling summer.

Jiffy Johnson's cocky drag racing gets him pulled over at 105 mph, and a close call with a jackknifed trailer truck makes him realize how dangerous his stunts on public roads really are. When a fellow racer named Leo Forbes offers to buy his modified '62 Ford and take him to the Charlotte Stock Car Races to work in the pits, Jiffy gets a chance to channel his passion for high-performance engines into something safer—and when Forbes gets injured before qualifying, Jiffy steps up to prove he's learned more than just how to build a fast car.

George Cooley has promised his protective mother he won't race fast cars, so he's been running his souped-up '36 Ford roadster quietly at the dragway—and doing it pretty well, even if he's not officially competing. When his older brother Lew comes home with racing stories and his mother finally sees what George is truly capable of, everything changes, and the young driver gets his shot to really prove himself against the other hot-rodders, especially the loudmouthed Dorset.
