This one opens with an interesting question, namely what would Jay Garrick need with a car?
Jay's out for a drive when a ray disintegrates the roadster. Peeved and perplexed, he investigates and finds the ray's origin; namely a scientist being forced to use his ray by gangster Black Mike. Yeah, Mike is forcing the doc to use a ray that melts metal without a trace to stack odds in an upcoming road race.
Why does Fox keep having his villains fix races?
