Hot Rods and Racing Cars #18

The issue opens with a story about Fred, an experienced race driver recounting his toughest racing experiences to an admirer, including a dangerous race in Europe and a harrowing incident in Utah where he nearly lost his life. Terry Willis, a talented young driver new to the track, faces pressure from racing enthusiasts and the Racing Association, who want him to stay and race competitively rather than pursue his own goals. "Rust Bucket Romance!" follows Jo Legget, who uses a hot rod to impress Wanda, a woman competing in a Jaguar with another driver named Cal, ultimately winning Wanda's affection through determination and ingenuity with his modified vehicle.
