This is amazing, Hy! I never thought we'd be sitting with a pit crew at one of the most challenging racecourses anywhere -- the famous "Terror Track!"

Genre

humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals; detective-mystery

Characters

Scooby-Doo; Shaggy; Fred; Daphne; Velma; Hy Octane (pit crew chief); Earl Daleheart (racecar driver); Terry the Terror (monstrous racing mascot); "Fireball" McKenny (rival racecar driver); "Fireball" McKenny's sponsors; two big-time gamblers; Dick (sportscaster); Vern (sportscaster); police officers

Synopsis

Terry the Terror, a purple monster-like merchandising mascot for the "Terror Track" racecourse, suddenly appears in giant-size, to knock the favored driver, Earl Daleheart, and his car out of a big race.

Indexer Notes

Earl Daleheart is a parody reference to racing legend Dale Earnhardt (or his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr.). Dick and Vern would be parody references to popular sportscasters Dick Enberg and Verne Lundquist - and are sort of drawn to look like their real-life counterparts.

Great Bit: Sholly Fisch, who also writes the Looney Tunes comic book for DC, has Earl Daleheart, dazed and confused after his run-in with the Terry the Terror monster, say the following when Earl's pit crew tries to coax him back into the race: "No more for me, thanks... I'm driving...", a line which astute fans will recognize as originally having been delivered by a similarly dazed and confused Daffy Duck, in the Bugs Bunny cartoon "Rabbit Seasoning" (1952).

Reprint information is inaccurately described in the indicia as originating with "Scooby-Doo 36" (which would be from the 1997 series, and cover-dated July 2000), when it is actually reprinted from Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (2010 Series) #36 (October 2013). Though copyright for this story, listed in the indicia as 2013, is accurate.

The original cover credits for this story, as they appeared in Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (2010 Series) #36 (October 2013), "Cover by Fabio Laguna with Jason Lewis", appear as part of this reprint even though Laguna and Lewis' cover is NOT reprinted in this issue.
