Dragstrip Hotrodders [Drag-Strip Hotrodders] #9

Ollie Clark's stock car is wrecked by rival Luke Aldroyd at the speedway, so he salvages the engine and builds a fierce new A/Altered Roadster called "Ollie's Comet" to settle the score on the dragstrip. When both cars line up for their first heat, Ollie discovers that raw speed and determination might count for more than dirty tricks—but Aldroyd isn't ready to accept defeat gracefully. A gritty tale of comeuppance, car passion, and proving yourself when it matters most.

Dave Higgins loses a motorcycle scramble race to rival Jinx Farno—and the loss stings worse when he finds his girl Joyce charmed by the winner. A month of solo hunting trips in the hills transforms Dave's perspective on his bike and himself, and when another scrambler race rolls around on the same course, he returns with something to prove. Will this rematch settle the score, or has Dave learned there are victories that matter more than crossing a finish line first?

When Jesse Jamison's Plymouth keeps cleaning up at illegal drag races against younger hotrodders like Ron Hiller, a state trooper decides it's time to level the playing field—by inviting the kids to a proper dragstrip where they can learn the real tricks of competitive racing. Ron discovers that skill, technique, and smart setup choices matter far more than raw horsepower, and gets a chance to prove what he's learned when he finally faces Jamison on the legal track.
