Clark goes to stop them and finds out that one of the drivers is Pete. Clark confronts Pete at an under ground speed shop. Pete won't listen to Clark about the dangers of illegal road racing. At the Talon, Lana asks Adam about his past. He is living under an assumed name. On the street Dante tells Pete to lose a race. Pete doesn't listen and wins the race anyway. Dante and his friends tell Pete they lost $20K. and they want the lost money from him or else. Lex confronts Dr. Tang. She is the doctor given Adam his meds. Pete tells Clark about the threat. Clark goes to the speed shop. There he sees a lot of unused license plates. He realizes that the street cars are stolen. Clark lets the police know but the cars are gone. Pete is beat up because of the police raid that was pinned on him. After getting no help from Lex, Clark takes Lex' Porsche to use as a prize in a road race. If Pete wins he's off the hook for the money. If Dante wins he gets the Porsche. Clark plans on disabling Dante's car. But the tables were turned on Clark. He is knocked out and placed in Pete's trunk. Pete's car is rigged to blow at 100 mph. After Pete fires the Kryptonite infused nitro the car rockets faster. When the Kryptonite is spent, Clark is free to bust the fuel tank. The gasoline on the street causes the trailing Dante to loose control. His car flips and Dante is killed. At the Talon, Adam is having trouble with his condition. He needs his meds. Meanwhile at the mansion, Dr. Tang shows up to talk to Lex. He will add to her funding if she will show him her research. Jonathan gets to come home from the hospital. Jonathan tells Clark that maybe his new heart condition was from his interaction with Jor-El. Later Pete comes by to apologise to Clark. Clark doesn't accept it.
