Chapter 8

Late Night Life

Later that evening after the dinner and conversation was over it was still quite early. At least by most everyone's opinion.

Brad: "Say it's still quite early. Why don't we get our cars and ride over to the Sonic on Lamonte Parkway?"

Rachel: "I guess we could, but does that sound okay with Kei and the others?"

Kei: "Sure i'm all for it. I can put my bike together this weekend i guess."
Brad: "Yeah , you and Belldandy can ride with me, and Rachel and Urd and SKuld could ride in Rach's Car"

Belldandy: "This sounds like it's going to be fun."
Kei: "Yeah, better than watching TV in the hotel anyway. "

Brad: "Let's Ride then. All aboard the express to the company parking lot."

Rachel: "Yep let's roll."

It was a twenty minute trip to the lot to pick up the cars. Brads car looked spectacular in it's recent paint job. The wheels were blacked out alloys from GTX racing, and sported a full body kit. Mildly tinted windows, and a respectable sound system rounded out his ride. Kei and Belldandy were quite impressed.

Belldandy: "Oh Brad your car is so pretty."
Kei: "Yeah, your ride is really nice."
Brad: "Thanks alot, i work pretty hard to keep it up."
A buzzing exhaust note broke the night air as Rachel, Urd and Skuld rode up in her Chevy Cavalier Z24. It wasn't a slouch either by any means, only a mild body kit and the factory alloy wheels. But under the hood was a full compliment of a 2.3 liter quad 4 on a turbo and a 75 shot of NOS on top of that. It was a sporty ride for most. And Rachel loved the Canary Yellow, was the biggest reason she bought it. But the bug bit her soon after so in came the turbo kit, and intake , exhaust, a fuel management system and then the Nitrous dry system to help with any off the line lag from the turbo. The car was very quick. It seemed to always make Brad just a tad jealous when they race. Which they often did..

Rachel : "Hey punk, wanna give it another shot?"
Brad: "Come on Rachel, you beat me every time.."
Brad said as they pulled right next to them with the windows down. Brad reved the little 2.0 liter DOHC like it was a musical instrument. The whine of the turbo spooling as he did.

Rachel: "What's the matter? Chicken? "
Brad: "Come on then, let's get it on."

Rachel: "heheh..sure sure." (Rachel bent between the seat next to Skuld and turned the knob on the Nitrous bottle, a few blips of the throttle to clear the air from the line. )

After a few seconds of loud hollering of Chicken , chicken chicken..Brad lit the front tires of the Acura, lunging the car forward. Belldandy, caught off guard was plopped into the back seat.

Belldandy: "Wow this is SO MUCH FUN!"

Kei: "Wow this thing really moves out huh?"

Brad suddenly saw the headlights of Rachel's Cav come up...as he saw the shift light in his tach indicate shift !! or die..7,000 rpm comes quick after all, Kei looked back to see the Cav pull hard right then straighten out.

Brad: "Damn she's gonna beat me AGAIN!" As he stroked 2nd gear to the max, Rachel's Cav approached with an unbelievable vengence.

Brad: "God she's a show off!" He stroked into third gear as the car approached 45 mph..

Rachel :"Here i come little man! "Urd was strangely silent as Skuld was in the Back giggling her ass off, she's never experienced anything quite like this before. Belldandy never let her participate in the actual riding of races back home.

Skuld: "Wow this car has so much power..i love it!"
Rachel: "Thanks Skuld! But watch this.."

Rachel had a bit of a surprise for Brad this time. Instead of the usual dry Nitrous system, she had bought the newer wet two stage system from the company which they installed last week.

With both the engines screaming along the long parking lot, Brad now in third and exceeding 70 Rachel suddenly disappeared from Brad's mirror..

Brad: "Oh no! Where'd she Gaaaaaaahhh! "
At that time her car simply blew by Brad by approx 4 car lengths and stayed there..His jaw practically hit the floorboard..

Brad : "Holy SHIT! That's not fair dammit!"

Kei and Belldandy simply sat chuckling with the excitement of it all..

Skuld:"Oh my Kami Sama THAT WAS SO AWESOME!"

Rachel: "Kami Sama? What's that?"
Skuld : "UH! ..umm..it's a religious saying where we're from that's all.."

Rachel: "Oh ok, i just never head that one before. That's cool ! "

Urd: "uuuugghh..i think i'm gonna be sick."
Rachel: "Oh no, you ok Urd I'm so sorry! "

Urd: "I'll be ok. Just not used to riding in cars like that. "

Rachel : "Ok, we're pulling over to stop for right now..."
They pull over at the end of the lot, as Brad pulls up. Kei and Bell get out all giggling,

Rachel: "How did ya like them apples Brad !?"

Brad: "Wha happened? How'd you do that. You NEVER beat me that bad before."

Rachel: "It's that new two -stageĀ  wet nitrous system they developed. Who do you think get's to try this one out? HAHAHA!"

Brad: "Woah, seems to work pretty damn good if you ask me."
Skuld: "It was absolutely AWSOME!" "I love it. Belldandy, i want a car like THAT!"

Belldandy: "(laughing) Maybe sometime soon Skuld..."

Kei: "Well where to now. You said something about a sonic or something?"

Brad: "Yeah, it's a like a drive in food joint. But everybody hangs out there till they go to race. Still wanna go right?"
Belldandy: "If it's any fun like that we just had, you bet. "

Kei: "I'm starting to like the states already..Haha! "

Rachel: " Let's all go then, hop in!"

They all headed to the local Sonic Drive in from the parking lot, taking in the sights as they went.

Regina: "So umm. You really gonna do that stuff for RPT huh?"

Will : "Yeah i figure why not..maybe it won't be too bad. But if it starts to interfere with my regular customers that will be the end of it."
Regina: "Well, i understand. But it's worth trying it out anyway. And the money. Geez, they got a lot of clout to offer you that kind of money. 250,000 bucks is a lot of money for starters ya know."

Will :"Yeah i guess so. Help pay the rest of your college anyway."
Regina sat quietly, then kissed him on the cheek.

Will :"What was that for?"

Regina :"For being sweet and always thinking about me.."
Will :"Well, mom and dad would come back and kick my ass if i didn't"

Regina :"Well, are you gonna go with me?"

Will: "I guess. But i'll take my car. I may not stay very long."
Regina : "Okay. So you wanna meet at the Sonic right. You know Shane is likely there huh?"

Will :"Yeah just lemme freshen up, i'll be there in a bit i promise."

Regina :"Not racing tonight right?"
"Just in case someone asks me before you get there. I know you hate for people to pester you about it."

Will :"Not tonite. Maybe next weekend. My back has been sore anyway."

Regina :"Alright. Love ya bro. See ya later! "

Will :"Bye. Be careful around all those pervs now..(laughing)"

Regina :"Have you forgotten who you're talking to? HAHAHA! "

Will: "See ya.."

stay tuned for more..
