Hot Rods and Racing Cars #6

An anthology issue featuring multiple racing stories. "The Hot Rod Express" follows Don, a hot rod enthusiast whose reckless driving concerns his girlfriend Alice until a dangerous accident on railroad tracks forces him to reconsider his ways; the railroad subsequently hires him to build a replica hot rod called "The Hot Rod Express." A second story chronicles Wilbur Shaw's racing career, including his 1921 Hoosier Motor Speedway race, his first Indianapolis 500 attempt in a Lynx Special in 1927 where he averaged 95.11 mph, and his later achievement of the National AAA dirt track championship. The issue also covers Cunningham's 1951 Le Mans racing efforts, where the team entered three cars and achieved multiple finishes despite challenging rain conditions.
