The next day Lightning was terrified. Today Doc had his first race in over twenty years. The year he was born. Sense he was racing Chick he went by his old racing name, The Fabulous Hudson Hornet. People were excited to see it today. Lightning was his crew chief and had some people come and do what they had to do when he stopped.
"Be careful out there ok? Because the last time you raced was when you got into a coma for months and lost mom and me." Lightning said.
"Don't worry rookie, I've been racing longer than you. I know what I'm doing." Doc said calmly. "And besides, you're the only one who knows my tricks."
Then he went and got into a car to race with. Lightning was where he had to sit. When it started Chick was amazed at how he could do it just like he used to still. Even Lightning was surprised to. As Chick sped up and tried to hit him. Doc did one of his old tricks and got through it.
He was going to do three laps. Everyone was surprised he would still race in public like he used to if he had to. Older people were glad to see him racing and that he still had it.
He was on his second lap and was still winning. When he heard Chick he got ready and did another trick he had. At the last lap he was going to win, everyone knew it. Even Chick because he didn't think he'd be able to race still. He was two feet from the score as soon as he made it through the starting line and won. Chick was amazed that he won, it had been years and he could still win and race.
"There you go Chick, I may not race in public anymore but I still have what I started with. Thanks to Lightning when he first came and made me think of everything again." said Doc.
"DA- DOC! NICE JOB! YOU WON, DIDN'T GET HURT OR ANYTHING!" Lightning said running over to him.
Doc laughed, "Well what do you expect? Me to lose on purpose or get hurt again? There you go rookie, you saw what I really did with a race."
"I've heard of what they're like but I didn't think I'd ever see them!" Lightning said shaking his head.
"Well now you have. And I won for the first time in years, I think I stopped the year you were born." he said.
Then Chick came over shocked and mad.
"How did you win!?" he snapped.
Doc shook his head and smirked, "Only two people will ever know." he said.
He looked over at Lightning and gave him a wink. Lightning smiled and winked back.
"Like we said, I may not race anymore but I still do it with Lightning for fun."
Chick opened his mouth when a few people came to talk to Lightning and Doc. After that, they went home. When they got home everyone was glad and amazed that Doc raced for real once.
"What? I couldn't help it, he drove me nuts!" he said.
"How do you know he raced?" Lightning asked.
"They put it on TV. Nice job taking care of him." Sheriff said.
