Fred, Velma and Daphne tiptoed alongside the oil slick until it led to an enormous garage!
"Jinkies!" Velma exclaimed, shocked to see the ghost car sitting inside. "This must be our ghost driver's hideout!"
"Let's look for clues," Fred announced.
The trio searched the garage as quickly as possible, listening for any signs that the ghost driver had returned. "Look at this," said Velma, holding up a toolbox "It's been initialed: S.T."
"Like Sparky Tacoma?" Fred finished.
"Exactly!" Velma replied. "Now let's get out of here before…" Suddenly, they heard the secret door grind open. "…before the ghost comes back."
"Quick, hide!" Fred hissed, diving behind a stack of tires. Velma and Daphne skidded into their own hiding places just before Axel Malone leaped into his racer and started it up.
Meanwhile, Scooby and Shaggy roamed around the racetrack, looking around desperately for some clues and some food. (Not necessarily in that order) "Like, Scoob, I need a refuel more than these racecars do," Shaggy sighed as the duo passed by a stack of gas cans.
Scooby sniffed the air. "Rack rar!" he yipped.
"Snack bar?" Shaggy translated "Well, lead the way, Scooby-Doo!"
As the dog-and-detective duo strode off towards the food, Jason pulled out of the garage for a few practice laps. As he raced around the track at top speed, the ghost racecar screeched out of its hideout and zeroed onto Jason's car. With a maniacal laugh, Axel Malone jerked the steering wheel around and gave chase!
Shaggy and Scooby waved their arms wildly, trying to get Jason's attention as the ghost gained on him. Jason grinned and waved back. Suddenly, the ghost car slammed into his racer, sending both cars spiraling out of control!
Fred, Velma and Daphne raced onto the track just in time to see Jason's car slam sickeningly into the chain link fence protecting the spectators. "Shaggy! Scooby! Help Jason!" Fred demanded. He dashed towards the Mystery Machine. "We're going to get that ghost!"
While Shaggy and Scooby rushed towards Jason's smoldering wreck, Fred, Velma and Daphne leaped into the Mystery Machine to chase after the ghost car.
With a flick of his wrist, Fred expertly steered the van over to block Axel's ghost from escaping into his secret garage. As Axel frantically scrabbled at the wheel, he crashed into a stack of gas cans alongside the track. As the gasoline spilled from its plastic containers and intermingled with the spark plugs, a small fire crackled to life and quickly spread.
"Hurry!" Fred screeched the van to a halt and dashed out towards the flaming wreckage of the ghost car. "If he isn't a ghost, he'll need our help!"
Axel Malone wriggled through the window of the wrecked racer and rolled to safety just as the flames overwhelmed the car and caused it to explode! Carlos Vega, attracted by the explosion, grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher and dashed over to the scene, Fred grabbed ahold of Axel Malone (who was trying desperately to sneak away).
While Carlos attacked the flames with the fire extinguisher's foam, Fred, Velma and Daphne tied up the ghost of Axel Malone. Once the fire was extinguished, Jason, Shaggy and Scooby joined the scene as well.
"So," Jason said, nudging the captive ghost with his toe. "Who is it?"
"Let's find out," Velma replied, twisting the mask and helmet off their prisoner.
