☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two main stories. "13.20 in 13.20" follows Ching Deering, whose reckless driving damages his Corvette transmission, leading to conflict with his rival Joey whose Plymouth 426 outperforms him on the drag strip. "Speedy Sam" features Sam Boland, who drives his father's Chevrolet down treacherous mountain roads and nearly collides with a stranger in a Corvette; when Sam brakes hard to avoid a crash at the bottom of the mountain, he ends up near a barn where Arnie Woods offers him a chance to participate in a NASCAR-sponsored stock car racing event, with Specs Griswold providing modifications to turn the Plymouth into a competitive race vehicle.
A visiting English cousin challenges the drag strip scene when he rolls up in a modest little Ford—until a neighborhood hotrod club decides his lightweight frame is perfect for a serious engine transplant. As Jonathan transforms his unassuming import into a genuine competitor, he's got more than just proving himself on the track to worry about, especially with a jealous local driver still nursing a grudge. Watch this transplanted brit learn what American drag racing is really about.
Whitey Hull trades his wild back-road racing days for a shot at legitimate road-course competition when a local Chrysler-Plymouth dealer offers to sponsor him—but first, he'll need to prove himself in a high-stakes super-stock race. With help from his friend and automotive wizard Specs Griswold, Whitey modifies his Plymouth and hits the track for the first time, learning that closed-circuit racing demands a different kind of skill than the drag strip ever did.
