Dragstrip Hotrodders [Drag-Strip Hotrodders] #10

An anthology issue containing multiple stories. "Pretty Ugly" follows Jerry Tyler, who after 20 coats of chrome and customization work on his car, takes it out for a high-speed drive where he encounters Harry's Creamer and ends up at a dragstrip. The story depicts Jerry's encounter with an elegantly dressed couple who mock his vehicle's appearance and suggest he park it outside the dragstrip, leading to a confrontation about the car's value. In another story, two characters work together to steal cash from a Fiat-Ford to fund modifications to a Dodge, and a month later they complete construction of a dragster cage with twin-chutes and other racing equipment, displaying their finished project to onlookers.
