Ok last time. The Project S team discussed the BTR and the Southern Knights. Richard one his race with Al, Brandon lost his race with Mei, and Kenneth and Nik were about to race.
Chapter 7: Win or Loose.
"3…2…1…GO!"
The SS Camaro and the FC took off down akina pass for the deciding battle. Around the first turn the FC had lost a lot of ground. I heard he had upgraded to something near my power but I guess it was just a rumor. Thought Kenneth as he rounded the next two turns.
"I'll let up some so he can catch-up." Said Kenneth as he slowed his driving.
The FC suddenly appeared and tore up behind the SS Camaro. The Camaro roared to life and attempted to pull away but even using all the power Kenneth couldn't pull away.
"Ok fine then you do have the same power." Said Kenneth as he entered a groove drift.
The turns were tight and played to the FC's advantage. The Camaro was drifting hard now with the FC and Nik close behind.
The high-speed section was normally a breakaway point but not with the FC tailing the Camaro. The drifted through the next turn at 197mhp.
The FC was now challenging the SS Camaro on the strait. Kenneth downshifted into 3rd and blocked the FC with the Groove Drift at 175mhp and then the Camaro was caught off guard by the FC's sudden flip drift.
Kenneth tried to block the move but to no avail. The FC slid by with the Camaro close on his tail through the S-turns.
"Well for driving a 03' SS Camaro the southern knights is going hard and the FC is running a 26B like me." Said Sweeper.
The Camaro suddenly found more speed on the strait when he slipstreamed the FC and jetted out of the fastest drift ever done on Akina.
The Camaro slid into the high-speed turn at 245mhp. The whole car fought the slid but Kenneth kept it in control exiting in front of the FC.
They entered a slow turn and the FC took the lead once again. The were now closing in on the 5-point hairpins.
Kenneth dropped into the groove drift again and slid right next to the FC every turn the Camaro would almost hit the FC.
Exiting the final hairpin the Camaro had the lead. But wasn't able to hold it when they reached the strait. The FC powered by and took the lead the next few turns were taken with the Camaro and the FC touching.
"The final turn." Said Kenneth as he swung into another groove drift. I'll use it here the groove block. Thought Kenneth as he pulled the car out and head on a course that would have caused a collision.
The two drivers slid and bumped each other and dragged down the strait the FC was held back by the lack of torque. But the power would make up for that.
They crossed the line the SS Camaro in the lead by a little less than a foot to everyone's surprise. The Two teams were equal in the eyes of one another. "Nik that was nice I didn't think I would end like that but I guess that we will race another time." Said Kenneth as he shook Nik's hand.
Back with the Project S team…
"Well these guys are fast that's for sure but I noticed the lack of control at times it seems even with the skill it takes to drive those cars on these passes that fast they do have their limits." Said Carlos.
"I heard that in the rain they use a special formation in a three on three downhill that is on level with my wet weather driving." Said Chang.
"Well we need to get ready for the race coming up against them." Said Sweeper.
"You know what's bad about this is the fact that Kenneth is one of the founders of E3 tuning and his racing buddies there are some of the top mechanics." Said Mc Clintsock.
And with that the three members of Project S headed home to ready for the race.
"So what your saying is that these guys are on a high level and have great resources." Said Jane
"Yea well we are headed up there tomorrow to practice the pass." Said Keiichi
Friday evening Mount Akina…
The Project S trucks had shown up and pulled in next to the Southern Knights and their support truck.
"I'm Jane of Project S we would like to use the pass for practice." Said Jane as she stood in front of Kenneth.
"Sure just tell us if you would like any help." Said Kenneth with a smile
Kenneth turned to Richard and Brandon and said, " Well guys do you want to give these guys some heads up with a little trial of our team drift again."
"Yea" said Richard and Brandon as they got into their cars and cranked the large V8 engines. Kenneth followed suit and the three Knights roared to life.
"Well they sure know how to intimidate." Said Mc Clintsock.
"Well with those engines it isn't hard but I saw them race it was impressive." Said Sweeper.
"Your saying they are impressive to you. We will have our work cut out for us," said Jane.
"Well what is the race order?" asked Chang.
"Well all but Mc Clintsock are racing. Sweeper against the SS Camaro on the second downhill, Carlos against the RS Camaro uphill, and Chang your up first against the Chevelle." Said Jane assured her plan would win.
"Well we're headed up.' Said Sweeper and Carlos.
The Three Knights took off up the pass with Sweeper, Chang, and Carlos right behind them.
The Three Knights entered close to each other but not to close. The Three Knights were headed for the summit to meat a friend.
The Three Chevys of the Southern Knights slid in next to a Black FC3S, a Dark Grey Mark II JZX100 turbo, a white R32 Skyline GT-R, and a Sliver Tom's X540 Chaser.
"Hey Nik so who drives that X540?' said Kenneth.
"That would be me brother." Said Daylan as he returned with a soda.
"Daylan! When did you come to Japan?" said Kenneth as he looked at his brother and the X540.
"About 2 months now." Said Daylan casually.
"Why didn't you tell me you came?" Asked Kenneth a bit disappointed in his lil bro.
"I didn't want your help or your pity." Said Daylan agitated.
Kenneth turned around as the Three Drivers from Project S pulled up. The mechanics got out and went to work fixing the suspension on each of the cars.
"You'll need to loosen the front right by half a turn." Said Richard as he approached Carlos and the GT-R.
"How did you know? And why are you helping me?" asked Carlos.
"Well I don't want to end up racing against a team with a weakness I want to win or loose strait up." Said Richard as he returned to the Chevelle.
Soon the Project S team was finished tuning and setting for the race the next day. The Southern Knights made a Single run and Headed home.
The next day the Racers of Project S and Southern Knights sat waiting for the set time for the race.
From the two Chevys and the BTR played Thousand Foot Krutch: Bounce, and Never Backdown. 5 later everyone was ready Nik, Daylan, Mei, and Al stood at the last ditch turn. Sagara and his Battalions were watching from the high-speed turn at the end of Skate Strait. The Dark Starz waited at different places. "Today someone's title of undefeated will be ended but how will it be the Southern Knights or Project S." said Sagara and Nik in unison.
"Well Kenneth chose to drive the BTR." Said Chang with a sigh as he looked at the classic RUF turned into a demonic beast of the road.
"Don't worry Chang I'll be running him in my FD with the 26B twin Turbo." Said Sweeper as he approached the red NSX of chang.
"10:00 everyone take places!" yelled Jane as the NSX cranked up and pulled up to the line. The loud roar of the Chevelle Malibu SS cranking and pulling up next to him sent shivers up Chang's spine.
"Drivers Ready!"
The two cars revved in a sign of readiness.
"10…9…8…7...6…5…4…"
