Oooooooooooooh! Here's the racing chapter…I'm so excited!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It didn't take long for them arrive at the race site, it was only a few streets away. This part of town was deserted, mostly, and all of the people racing were the "richer" part of society, so the police were unlikely to intercede. When everyone got settled there was a flood to the finish line, they were all ready to see who was going to win. Dom, Wally, the rest of the team, and a few others stayed behind. Dom and the team because they had no doubt that Letty would win, Wally because he was the equivalent of Hector in the LA races, and the others because they wanted to be surprised.
You could feel the excitement in the air, and even the skanks who were usually just there for the guys were anxious to see the race. If Letty won this race she would be the new queen of the races, and DT would be the top team again. But the most important thing riding on this race was Dom.
Letty and Priya's race was going to be last, because it was like the big BANG of the night. Jennifer and Julie were going to race first, and they were at the starting line, ready to get it over with. Since Jen didn't have a car of her own, she decided to use Brian's Supra. Julie was sure she would win, she always did. But Jennifer was sure that SHE was going to win, because she had never lost.
Leon went up to the Supra's window, and Jennifer rolled it down to see what he was going to say. "Be careful okay? You don't know what these bitches are really up to. Win this for the team," he finished with a smile. Leon kissed her and wished her good luck, then went back to where the others were.
Wally took his place in the back of a pick up truck, ready to give the racers the sign to go. Jennifer and Julie looked at him intently, ready for anything.
Rev your engines, he motioned.
Eyes on me, another motion.
Ready…Set…………GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! The last motion, and Julie and Jennifer were off, with Julie taking a quick lead, about half a car length ahead.
But Jen was catching up, one fourth, one sixth, one eighth, and then they were head to head. Jen got a lead on Julie, one sixth, one fourth, half a car length, and now it was Julie's turn to try to catch up.
The hiss of a NOS tank was heard, and Julie took a two car length lead. "Too quick hun," Jennifer said, mostly to herself. Ironically, at the same time the team said the same phrase. Jen was catching up with Julie, one car length, one half, one fourth. Jennifer was about one sixth of a car length away when Julie pressed the second NOS button, they were so close to the finish line now. But Jennifer kept her cool, she pressed her first NOS button, and caught up to Julie, passed her by, and crossed the finish line. Jennifer won the race!
Both cars drove back to the starting line and Jennifer was met with the smiling faces of the team. When she got out of the car Leon ran to her and picked her up easily, then brought back to face-level and kissed her. "You won!" he said excitedly.
"I noticed," she replied with a smile. "But we have no time for that, there's another race." Jen and Leon turned around to find Julie getting out of her car and coming toward them.
"Good race girl," Julie said with a smile of her own, then shook Jennifer's hand. Leon was a little stunned, usually Priya's friends were real bitches. Julie seemed to be genuinely congratulating the woman who had just beaten her.
"You too," Jennifer answered sincerely. When Leon and Jen walked to were the team was, everyone congratulated Jennifer and rounds of hugs were given. Then it was time for the next race, Sandy versus Paola. Sandy was using Mia's car, and her and Paola were already at the starting line, ready to go.
Giovanni and Letty walked up to the side of Mia's car to talk to Sandy. "Are you sure about this?" Letty asked.
"Yea girl, I'm ready to go."
"Be careful," Giovanni said kissing her forehead.
"Always," Sandy replied before rolling up her window.
They walked back to the others and watched the scene before them. Sandy looked like she was about to burst, from excitement or nervousness they didn't know. Paola looked a little white, since Jennifer had beaten Julie, and Priya looked like she was about to bust a vein. The look on Priya's face made Letty want to laugh, but she kept it in, she would laugh AFTER she beat her.
Wally made the motions again, the tension was a little more this time, and he looked like he wanted to get it over with. After this race would be the real one, the one that counted. It was like the tension got thicker at every moment. Finally the racers were off.
Sandy got a quick lead, she had good reflexes, and she looked much calmer now, focused. The team watched anxiously, this was going to be a close one, because Paola was gaining on Sandy. They were head to head for a few seconds and neither used their NOS, taking into consideration what had happened to Julie before.
They were about two hundred yards from the finish line when Sandy decided to take the risk and press the NOS button. By the time Paola realized what was happening it was too late, and Sandy was about one hundred feet from the finish line, two seconds later Sandy emerged as the winner.
The cars went back to the starting point and Sandy got out of her car with a shiteating grin on her face. "I won!!! I won!!! Wooooo!" she yelled, and went to hug the team. Paola just drove away, not really in the mood to hear Priya's bitching. No one noticed her leaving, and no one really cared, it was time for the race of the decade!
Letty was of course going to use her own car, which she had secretly prepped just in case, even though Dom said they weren't going to race. She was ready to kick some ass, she was ready to make Priya regret ever fucking with her.
Priya came over to talk some more shit, but before she could open her mouth, Dom pulled Letty into a passionate kiss. Priya stopped dead in her tracks and her jaw hit the pavement. Dom finally let go and Letty turned around, fully aware that Priya was watching them. "You see that Pri? He is all mine," Letty said snidely, point at Dom who was still behind her.
Slowly, Priya closed her mouth and walked away, getting into her car quietly. I hate that fucking bitch. I swear I'm gonna have Dom for myself, no matter what it takes.
Letty turned around again and kissed Dom, lightly this time. "Good luck," he said when she pulled away.
"Don't worry baby, I won't need it." Letty got into her car and drove up to the starting line. "I'm gonna win," she said to herself. Then turned on her radio, the speakers in the back blasted "Work It" by Missy Elliot. The music calmed Letty down, and she was ready to go.
Wally was looking a lot more excited now, he started the motions.
Rev your engines…
Rev your engines…
Ready…set…
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Letty was in the lead, no surprise there, but she didn't know she was in the lead, she didn't notice anything but herself and her car. Her position, her speed, totally focused on her driving, unaware of Priya trying to gain the lead. First, second, shift to third…finish line 800 yards away…fourth…200 more yards and I press the first NOS button.
She was like a machine, and Priya couldn't seem to gain the advantage, she was losing. Letty was half a car length, then a whole car length. Priya couldn't seem to focus, she pressed her first NOS button, and caught up with Letty, the action made her regain her focus. Stay calm girl, stay calm…
It was such a close race, Priya would lose her focus then regain it, and soon she got her lead. Half a car length, a whole car length, steady. Finish line was close. I told you I would win bitch, I told you I would win. Just as Priya was about to push her NOS button to cross the finish line, Letty zoomed past her and won the race. Priya didn't even realize what was happening. It was like she was winning, and then Letty was passing the finish line before her, it wasn't supposed to happen like that. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!
The crowd was shocked to silence for a split second, and then everything erupted. Letty had won!
