After installing a full racing cam, stiff valve springs, and other upgrades, Matti tests his red hot rod at the drag strip, where it reaches 118 miles per hour. The issue also features the stories "Snake Bite" and "Golden Goose."
Junior Boyd’s GTO wins a drag race against Al Beckett’s Dodge, but his victory is overshadowed when he crashes into his father’s car at a red light. The incident leads to a tense confrontation with a police officer, forcing the elder Boyd to pay for the damage—despite the son’s claim that the light was green—and setting off a family rift over reckless driving and financial responsibility.
In the aftermath of a catastrophic crash during a drag race, a young man known as Snake—whose car has just exploded—finds himself facing the end of his racing dream. But when his rival and cousin Jeff Kimm offers him a chance to rebuild, Snake joins forces with Jeff and a local mechanic to transform a junkyard car into a high-powered drag racer, fueled by ambition and the promise of one last run before college.
In the aftermath of a devastating crash, Billy Huff, still recovering from injuries, teams up with his mechanic Hal to rebuild their battered Chevy and enter the Decoration Day Races. Using a clever, unorthodox strategy of tailgating a faster opponent to conserve fuel and wait for a mistake, Billy pushes through the field in a high-stakes race where speed isn’t the only weapon.
