Crash, Burn, Repeat

It's the beginning of the daredevil stunt season and Mr. Dizzy, Dr. Danger, and Spanky and Bryan Spangler are all champing at the bit to get their first stunts of the year under their belts. For Spanky an epic wreck during his car jump (and the subsequent doctor's order to give it a rest) calls not only Spanky's plans for his second stunt--a highfall from Butte's highest building--into question, but also causes him to question his livelihood as a daredevil. Concerned for his father's safety, Bryan encourages Spanky to allow him to perform the highfall in his place. Down in Texarkana Texas, Dr. Danger kicks off his season with a fire run, and then motors out to his next performance; a domino car crash in Killeen. Up in Twin Falls Idaho, Mr. Dizzy is trekking to the cursed Magic Valley speedway. The last four daredevils to perform here have met with concussions, busted bones, and near death crashes; including Dizzy who suffered a concussion here last year.
