Dragstrip Hotrodders [Drag-Strip Hotrodders] #6

"The Mighty Mites!" follows Joe Shumski and Link as they acquire a specially prepared Ford race car from a dealer and prepare it for competition with extensive mechanical work. During the race, Link drives conservatively and maintains the lead through the final lap, but the injured driver becomes dazed, and the car's harness release malfunctions, forcing the team to abandon the race and rush the driver to the hospital. The three mechanics are devastated over losing expensive machinery in the crash and consider giving up racing altogether, though they ultimately decide to continue with smaller, less costly cars.
