Description
Over the Edge!The brakes are gone...and the finish line is dead ahead! With the C.A.T. Team gunning for his destruction, Speed faces his most dangerous race yet, until an unlikely lifeline appears: Racer X. But alliances on the track are as fragile as they are fast, and even with Spritle, Trixie, and Sparky in his corner, it may take everything Speed has to survive Kim Jugger’s wrath, Dante Ferno’s sabotage, and the ghosts of Rex Racer’s crash. A showdown years in the making rockets toward its shocking finish line--one that will change Speed’s life forever.
