Trixie secures the role of Speed's assistant for the No Limit World Race. Just before the event kicks off, Inspector Detector and his team inspect each vehicle for $50 million worth of stolen gold bars. The Mammoth Car rolls onto the track, and Cruncher Block gives the Inspector a thorough look around, but they find nothing suspicious. As the race starts, the Mammoth Car aggressively pushes competitors off the road, raising Speed's suspicions. To uncover the car's hidden secrets, he sends a homing robot equipped with X-ray film, but it gets shot down and returns damaged. The Mammoth Car soon overtakes Speed, forcing the Mach 5 off course. A ramp lowers, releasing a group of motorcyclists onto the track, but Racer X intervenes, spraying oil to cause a pile-up. Meanwhile, Spritle and Chim Chim sneak aboard Cruncher Block's plane at the airport. Back on the racetrack, the Mach 5 and the Mammoth Car
