I woke up normally as I always do in what I like to call my "man cave" but most people like to call "Jack's pile of junk" it's this old warehouse that is pretty small just big enough for me to fit my cott in, my truck, motorcycle, Atv, and kayak, and a table, and my lounge chair. I'm only 17 but I make a living on my blog and my job so I chose to live alone, but I am still going to finish high school. So I grab the set of keys to my motorcycle a Honda XR650L that is a street legal dirt bike I'd known I wanted it when I first walked into the dealership. I shoved my books and laptop into my backpack and drove off into the dawn. I love it when nobody is on the road it's just me and my bike. I soon arrive at school and there is a huge crowd of kids. My best friend runs up to me. " oh yes you brought your motorcycle today!"

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well you see Kevin McCormick" he started

"The jerk that stole my girl?" I asked

"Yeah that one, anyway he said that he could school you in anything and I couldn't let it go on and so I told him that jack would race anyone anytime so he said he would race you so then people got started and this competition this Saturday got started and the kid whose dad owns the jordan motor speedway and now there is this huge big games and yeah so everyone expects you to be there and kind of win because uh after what I told people about you people got started and let's just say a lot of people are betting a lot of money on you and if you lose they will all hate you forever" he said

" you are the worst friend ever Gus" I told him

" I know" he replied

" but this is your chance to win Amy back"

"I hate you slightly less now"

"Let's get to class and I'll tell you more" he said

When it was lunch he told me about the plans then some kid ran up to me and handed me slip of paper then ran back to his table.

"Weirdo" said Gus.

I opened up the slip and it had a web address on it. I quickly pulled out my laptop and typed in the address .com when it loaded my jaw dropped.

"What what!" Said Gus.

I flipped the computer around for him to see. He just stared.

"No way man that isn't possible!" He shouted.

But sure enough what started as a small race has turned into a mega race with people from all over the world coming to compete there were all events that people thought fun to do and fun to watch and it was scheduled for next Saturday not this Saturday which gave me time to prepare. The events included an offroad race, an on road race, a truck tug-of-war, a chain saw cut, a log balance, a wrecking rally, and many more. This is going to be harder than I thought to win.

"Did someone say my name?"

Just then someone sat down at our table.

"Go away Mike nobody likes you" said Gus.

"Let's hear him out" I said.

"Alright thank you well I have been working on something that will make any machine run to full performance and better"

"What's the catch?" I asked

"What? Wa well I have no catch!" He stuttered.

"Spill it." Demanded Gus

" alright I just want some credit for the machinery in your vehicle, be part of your team and if possible maybe a girlfriend"

"There's something you aren't telling us" I said.

"Well it is so dangerous nobody has let me use it" he said

"I'm down with that alright you can be my lead mechanic" I told him

"Yes! You won't regret this thank you!" He said running off.

I turned back to the computer and saw a link to top 10 competitors to win I was #4 on the list as it read Jack White is the youngest competitor at 17 years old and one of the biggest underdogs in history and one of the hottest topics in America. He has become one of the prime people to bet on in the games. He is 1 of 8 people from his home town to compete.

" oh no Gus what did you get me into" I thought.
