The featured story follows Clint Curtis in a high-speed chase against bandits, in which Clint pursues the criminals in his hot rod, gradually closing the gap as he accelerates to 110–120 miles per hour. As the chase intensifies near a highway, Clint forces the bandits' car off the road, causing it to crash and flip over. The issue also includes a "Car Care" section providing practical automotive maintenance tips, covering touch-ups, top dressing, whitewalls, and upholstery care.

Clint Curtis and the Road Knights have been itching for a legitimate place to test their hot rods, so they pitch Mr. Brassard on an ambitious idea: securing a municipal airport runway for a supervised drag racing event. As Clint works to convince the town board and prepare his car with safety modifications, he discovers that turning a wild dream into reality means more than just speed—it takes responsibility, ingenuity, and the kind of community support that comes from proving you deserve it.
