Hot Rod Comics #2

Clint Curtis and the Road Knights seek permission to use a municipal airport runway for supervised drag racing, pitching it as a way to test innovative automotive improvements while maintaining safety. With support from Mr. Ewing and encouragement from Mr. Brassard, they work to prepare their vehicles and rally the Mid City Motorcycle Club to help manage the event.

A young car enthusiast learns practical, no-nonsense tips for keeping their vehicle looking sharp, from tackling rust and minor scratches to caring for whitewalls, upholstery, and dashboards with simple, effective methods. The guide emphasizes careful technique and using the right products—like rubbing compound, top dressing, and auto polish—to maintain both appearance and function.

Clint Curtis and his fellow Road Knights consider volunteering for Civilian Defense, sparking debate when the enigmatic Alexander Mazda Beddison suggests repurposing their hot rods for emergency transport. When a pair of wanted criminals flee through Mid City, Clint and his friend Ed pursue them in a high-speed chase, using the hot rod's speed and handling to outmaneuver the suspects.
