Chapter Three: The First Races

We're flying down the backroads towards the race's location. Cameron and I keep trading positions ahead of each other. I look over and see Cameron trying to pass me. I pick up the radio, "Not this time." I say as I put my foot down and peel away from him.

"You cheeky bugger." I hear Cam say over the radio. "What don't you like seeing my tail lights?" I say with a grin that goes from ear to ear. "Just make sure you save some of this energy for the upcoming races." I hear him reply over the radio. "Yeah I no problem there, you know, I won't be able to get out of my car at these races?" I say. "Why wouldn't you be able to get out of your car? Not saying that I wouldn't want to stay in a car like that myself."

"Because the people there know what I look like, what I wear and how I sound. There's no way they wouldn't be able to tell that it's me the second I step out of the vehicle." "Good point, how do you want to handle the wagers then?" Cameron said I hadn't really thought about it. Almost all the races had bets between racers, we had prepared for wagers bringing a large sum of money to the races but how could I make bets without talking to the other racers.

"Would you be able to be a middle man?" I say to Cameron over the radio. "That could work for tonight but you're going to have to find a different way for the next races. I'll do it but only for tonight." Cameron said with a stern voice. "Yeah, thanks in advance. The races shouldn't be too far now." I say as I kick it up a gear and tear down the back road.

These months races were out at an abandoned airfield. The place looked dusty as hell but when you come to the races you don't come for the place you come for the cars. The roar could be heard from miles around. It was exhilarating to hear the roar of hundreds of high powered cars doing check-ups. Cameron and I pulled into a few empty bays and parked our cars.

"You ready?" I hear Cameron say and I couldn't help but grin. "You already know the answer to that one," I say trying to hold back a chuckle. It was finally time, this was my time no one telling me what I can and can't do. No one telling me how useless I am. It was time to let my racking do the talking. I look around, I can see that we have parked by the other kids at school. Scott was direct across from us looking straight at my car. Astrid was parked next to Cameron. I couldn't help but glance over at Astrid. I quickly averted my eyes when I saw her looking directly at me. I know she wouldn't be able to see me with the tinted windows but that didn't stop me from being nervous. I looked to my left to see Fishlegs car parked but he was nowhere to be seen. Parked either side of Scott was the twins. With their identical Utes. Those things were built to send people off the road. Hopefully, I won't have to face them tonight.

I saw Cameron step out of his car. "Open comms," I say as he looks over to me giving me a thumbs up. "No problem." He said as he flicked a switch on his radio. "Who's the new guy?" Scott yells out. "One hell of a racer." I hear Cameron reply. "Not better than me tho, no one is better than I am." He said egotistically. "He'd give you a run for your money," Cameron said with a grin on his face. He knew I would beat him without a second thought. "Oh really, then who is it behind the wheel that could give me a run for my money," Scott said staring at the windshield trying to make out who could be inside. "Don't know. I know him as Night Fury but no one knows his actual name." Cameron replied fluently, I had to commend him for how well he played not knowing my identity.

"Well, then how about a race to see who's better then." I hear Scott say. "Okay sure, what's the wager?" Cameron said with a grin. It was then I knew if Scott priced it right Scott and I wouldn't be the only ones in this race. "Let's make it two thousand. A one-quarter mile along the runway." Scott said with a smirk on his face. He must have thought we didn't bring the money to pay the entry, oh how wrong he was. "Let me go see what he thinks but for that price, I'm in as well." I hear Cameron say as he walks over by my car.

"What do you think? I think he went a bit cheap." Cameron said I'm almost certain he already knew what I was going to say. "We brought ten thousand to wager between us so if we make it four and either of us win we split the profit. Then we will still have one thousand each even if we lose to pick us some easy wagers." I say confidently over the radio. "You can't actually think we would lose can you?" Cameron said with surprise in his voice. "If we make it four thousand we are going to attract more than just Scott into this race. I already can see Astrid counting out the wager money over there." I said looking over to Astrid who indeed had two thousand in cash waiting for us to finish our conversation.

"What's taking you two so long?" I hear Scott yell out. "Ah, ok, now I see what you mean. " He said as he went and walked over to Scott. "Four thousand entry and we are both in. I could see Scott's shocked face from inside my car. "I'm in!" I heard Astrid call out from next to her car. Scott looked over to Astrid with a surprised look on his face. "What I want to see what the new kids got." She said as she walked over to the group with a bundle of cash in her hand.

"You in Scott?" I hear Cameron say with a confident tone. I could see Scott was nervous but he agreed and we were all headed off to the start line. This is a straight race so no need to focus on going to fast into corners, this was a test of speed.

I rolled up to the crudely sprayed white line, I look over to my left and see Astrid roll up to the line in her Mitsubishi Lancer. The roar coming off her car was almost deafening. She had to have at least 50 thousand under that hood. I look to my right to see Cameron roll up with a smug grin on his face.

His hellcat was making the ground shake with the raw power it was emitting. I watched as Scott was the last to roll up to the line with his Camaro. His engine was good but nothing compared to what the other two cars were giving off. It was my turn. I revved the engine and the whole car shook with the power coming from the engine. The race starter was a girl from our school heather, she was wearing extremely short denim shorts with a tiny top which showed a little too much for my comfort but I put that out of my mind as she raised her hands. My breathing slowed, I became hyper-attentive to the sound of the engine. Finding the perfect launching point. My heart began to beat harder and harder. Faster and faster until suddenly heather threw down her arms and the race had begun.

I got the perfect launch flying off the starting line. I quickly shifted up into second than third, I glanced over to see that both Cameron and Astrid had both gotten really good starts, but I was still half a length ahead of them both, Scott had wasn't even in the frame. He must have had a bad start. I quickly shifted up into fourth, I could see Astrid falling off slightly but Cameron wasn't going away anytime soon, I shifted up into fifth. I could see the hellcat inching itself closer and closer to taking the lead.

There were about 150 meters to go, this race was going to come down to the wire between me and Cameron.

80 meters to go and we are almost neck and neck, I only have a few inches on him.

50 meters, it's getting closer and closer.

20, 10, 5 and then it was over.

I had done it with only an inch or so to spare. "Great racing Night Fury, I almost had you though." I heard Cameron say over the radio. "Yeah a close race, a close race indeed."
