Today, the team at Cleetus McFarland faced a daunting challenge: getting Ruby, their legendary race car, back on track for the Christmas tree drags. With water mysteriously found in the cylinders, the team had to act fast. The solution? Bring back Ruby's engine from Texas and swap it in, a risky move but one that could pay off big time. The anticipation was palpable as they worked tirelessly to get Ruby up and running again.

As they delved into Ruby's engine, a surprise awaited them - a Dart Block, hinting at the potential for increased power and speed. With meticulous attention to detail, they verified the engine, adjusted the timing, and finally, after some hiccups, managed to start Ruby once more. The sound of her engine roaring to life was music to their ears, a testament to their hard work and dedication to the craft.

Sam, the team's resident expert, lovingly shined up Ruby, bringing back her former glory and setting the stage for her triumphant return to the race track. Despite facing challenges with the starter and timing, the team persevered, ensuring that Ruby was in top condition for the upcoming race. With Ruby back in action, the team could now focus on fine-tuning her performance and preparing for the adrenaline-fueled Christmas tree drags.
