Need for Speed Night Streets Side Story

Chapter 3 - Test Drive Downhill

12:20 p.m. Fort Union. "Tristen!" Ellie called as she was running to catch up to Tristen but she stopped. "Leave me alone. I don't want to talk about it, okay?" Tristen asked as she cried. "I'm sorry, girl. Can't do that." Ellie answered as Tristen wiped her tears away with her elbow. "I would've brought you guys along to help me buy it but I wanted to surprise everyone. I'm so stupid. I knew the price was too low for it to be a real TT sport but I went ahead and bought it anyway. God I'm so embarrassed right now. You guys must think I'm such an idiot. You might not be laughing right now but I know you are inside." Tristen said. "Girl, that's not true. The truth is I actually envy you in a lot of ways Tristen." Ellie replied. "What? Do you envy me? How can you lie right to my face?" Tristen asked. "I'm not lying about anything. You're still in high school and you have the freedom to go anywhere you want in your own car, do you realize how awesome that is?" Ellie asked. "I guess that is pretty sweet." Tristen answered. "It is and who cares if it's an TT quattro instead of a TT sport. It has an engine, 4 tires and two cup holders right? It may not have a lot of power but when you're going downhill, power doesn't really matter. You'd still be able to practice your skills. Just enjoy your car. That's what they're for." Ellie replied. "You changed lately, you know that?" Tristen asked. "I have?" Ellie asked. "Sure. Before you've never seem to give a crap about cars. You know, I think I'm okay with buying the TT quattro. I'm sort of proud of it even though it isn't quite what I meant to buy. And maybe I'm not ready to own a TT sport just yet." Tristen answered. "Maybe not." Ellie replied as she mocked her. "Hey, watch it. I didn't ask you to agree with me. I just had a great idea. I should take it for a spin on Jackson Heights tonight. Maybe you wanna come with me?" Tristen asked. "Hell yeah, but only if you let me ride shotgun." Ellie answered. "Whatever you want. I'll swing by your house. 10 o' clock. Does that sound fine to you?" Tristen suggested. "Sure." Ellie answered. "And drink some coffee. I don't want you falling asleep." Tristen replied. 7 hours later. 9:55 p.m. Garage. I was working on my R34 as I was fixing it. While I was working on it, I saw Ellie coming out to the garage. "Going somewhere?" I asked. "Tristen and I are gonna go for a drive." Ellie answered. "On the mountain pass?" I asked. "Yes. Tristen just bought a new car if you were wondering. We're gonna take it for a spin." Ellie answered. "Tristen bought a new car?" I asked. "Yep, she bought herself a TT." Ellie answered. "Wow! I didn't expect her to buy a car right away! But I'm surprised!" I replied. "You want to check it out? She's on her way to pick me up if you are wondering. Oop. Sounds like it's her!" Ellie asked. "Sure. I'll check it out." I answered as I put my tools on the ground by the GT-R and I stopped working on it. I was walking out to the garage and I saw the green Audi TT as Tristen was in it. "Wow! That TT is one fine looking ride." I said in my mind as I was surprised to see how the TT arrived with its finest look and Tristen got out of the car. "I love the TT Tristen! It's just the TT quattro right? Not the quattro sport?" I asked. "Nope? It's just a normal TT quattro." Tristen answered. "You know what I'm thinking? If you want to squeeze out more power for your TT, you should put in a Turbocharger to get an additional boost for the engine." I suggested. "Hmm. Good thinking Branden! Once I get the money I need to buy the turbocharger, I'll be able to blast past the rest of the members in no time! Haha!" Tristen replied. "Can we go now? It's already a few minutes from 10." Ellie asked. "Fine. Get in the car, Ellie." Tristen answered. "Have fun!" I replied as Tristen and Ellie got in the TT as they drove off from the garage on their way to Jackson Heights. A white 240SX passed by the TT after it was exiting the garage. The Nissan drove into the garage entrance as I saw the white car pulling up and it was April behind the wheel of the 240SX. "April, what's with the new car? What happened to the Lexus?" I asked. "You know, it's very simple. I was more satisfied with the 240SX because first of all, I didn't like the IS 300 so I decided to sell for the new car and it's upgrades." April answered. "Was it because you were jealous of Tristen?" I asked. "No no, it isn't like that at all. I just wanted to get a feel of a new car. The old one I wasn't happy. This baby would ought to replace it right?" April asked. "Yeah I can see what you mean." I answered. "Now why don't you be a sweetheart and help me fix it up if you don't mind." April suggested. "Of course! Let me get you set up." I answered as April and I were going to work on the 240SX. A few minutes later. Jackson Heights. Tristen parked her car at the observatory area as she and Ellie got out of the car. "Yeah! That ruled! I'm the new master of Jackson Heights! It's pretty slow in the straightaways but it sure does take those corners like the real deal, doesn't it? Isn't it really sweet?" Tristen asked. "It sure is." Ellie answered. Tristen walks up to the front of her car as she takes a look at it and shows off. "What the heck are you doing Tristen?" Ellie asked. "You know. I just noticed one of the coolest things about my new wheels is at the farther back of it. You stand. The sexier it gets. I love my TT so friggin much! Holy crap! I'm so glad I bought it! Audi TT's are so cool!" Tristen answered. "Yep. I'm happy you're happy girl." Ellie replied as she and Tristen noticed a couple of guys are walking up to her. "Ah give me a break. They're just kids." A female racer said. "There's no way it's them." A male racer replied. "We heard some dude beat a 3000GT in a beat up old 350Z, but no way it's some kid." Another female racer said. "Duh." The female racer replied. "Yeah, how old are you two snots? You better have a driver's license on you. Otherwise I'll have to call the fuzz up here." The male racer asked. "I have mine with me. I know I may look young but I swear I'm 16. Seriously." Tristen answered. "Who the hell do these guys think they are?" Ellie wondered in her mind. "Okay, I think that's enough. Leave them alone." The female racer suggested. "I ain't done with them yet. I can't stand that a little puke like this is driving a TT sport pretending to be a street racer." The male spectator replied. "I take it that you two are from around here. We've been rumors about the famous 350Z of Jackson Heights. That ring a bell?" The female racer asked. "Don't play stupid with us booster seat. We know you've heard of it." Another female racer said. "Uh. That 350Z. Yeah, sure. We've heard of it before but she probably won't be coming up here tonight. Sorry." Tristen answered. "Well isn't that great. We came all this way for nothing." The female racer replied. "Let's jet." The second female racer said. "Listen kid. I'm gonna give you some advice here. If you pretend to be a street racer, then the least you can do is start looking like one. I mean look at this pile you're driving. Sure it's a TT sport but there's nothing special. You didn't even bother to put new tires." The male racer suggested as he walks up to Tristen's TT and kicks the tire which started to anger Ellie. "It's a pitiful ride and girl change the muffler while you're at it cause it's sounds pussified. Doesn't seem like you know a damn thing about the TT, dumbass." The male racer said. "Well. Technically this isn't even a TT sport. It's actually just a regular old TT quattro. So, I'm not sure any muffler would make that much of a difference. But I have been thinking of picking one up pretty soon." Tristen replied. "Wait. That's a TT quattro? Hahahaha. The only place you would find a muffler for a TT quattro is in the junkyard. They don't even make it for the aftermarket anymore, tough luck dude." The male racer said. "Oh man, it's friggin hysterical. You gotta be pretty hard up to be driving a TT quattro nowadays." The second female racer laughed. "It's perfect for you kid. Suits your personality." The male racer replied. "Come on, let's get outta here." The female racer suggested as she and her friends got in their cars as they were about to leave the mountain pass. "Careful on your way back down. Don't wanna get your ass handed to you by a scooter." The male racer suggested as he drove off. "That's enough! Now I'm gonna make those jerks pay! I hope you don't mind if I drive your car. Jump in the passenger's seat." Ellie suggested as she ran to the driver's side. "What?" Tristen asked. "Girl, we don't have time to argue. Hurry up and get in! Come on!" Ellie answered as she got in the car. "What do you think about doing girl? Chasing em? Don't forget this isn't your ride. It's just a TT quattro with loose suspension and tires from the 90's." Tristen asked as Ellie buckles up. "Does it look like I care?" Ellie asked. "We don't have to do this Ellie. I mean this car doesn't even have a limited slip differential." Tristen answered. "Shut up! I can barley think. You're gonna want to buckle up. I have to warn you, it may seem like I'm being rough with your car but it won't be anything she can't handle and I promise no matter what happens, I won't wreck your new wheels. Trust me?" Ellie asked. "Mm." Tristen answered as she buckled up. "Let's go." Ellie replied as she shifts up and turns around. "Ahhh!! Oh Ellie wait! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!! I can't handle this! Don't you do this! This is my new car you jerk! I'm gonna need to tance... ahhhh aaggghhh!" Tristen screamed as they were about to go down the hill to catch up to the jerks that messed with them. "Slow down girl! It's not worth it!" Tristen exclaimed as Ellie ignored her and focused on the road as she accelerated hard. "Hey, are you listening? Ellie, hit the friggin brakes!! Nooo!!!" Tristen screamed as they were coming into the first corner and Ellie performed a power slide. The two cars were coming down the hill. The male driver yanks the e-brake as he performs a power slide drift on the next corner and clears it perfectly. "Nailed that corner!" The second female racer exclaimed and the male driver gave out some laughs. They were now on the straightaway but she looks behind and notices that a mysterious car coming up but it was secretly the green TT that was coming in fast. "Huh? What the hell? That car back there is flying up on our tail pretty fast man." The second female racer said. "Heh, must be another Bayview loser. You picked the wrong guy to screw with, too bad for you pal." The male racer replied as he honked to get the female racer's attention. "Huh? I got cha. You wanna play a couple rounds huh?" The female racer wondered as she accelerated hard in her Mustang GT and pulled away from the IS 300 behind along with the mysterious TT. They were coming on the next corner as they drifted but the TT was performing a 4WD drift. "Do stop the car! Ellie, please! I don't wanna die!" Tristen exclaimed as they were now on the straightaway heading into the next curve. While they were coming up on a long curve. They were drifting and Ellie was still figuring out how the TT would function on how it slides. "Aaggghhh!! Why won't you stop?? Ellie!!" Tristen screamed. Ellie steers into the corner hard with a feint drift. She taps the brake and gets back on the gas right away to initiate the drift. "Hmm." Ellie wondered as she taps the brakes and clutch to recover from the slide without touching the guardrail. She also gets back on the gas again fast. "Unbelievable... is this actually my piece of crap TT?" Tristen wondered as she was close to passing out and was surprised of Ellie's skills. She was able to keep up with the IS 300 and the Mustang GT through out the course. "Damn!" The male racer exclaimed. "I gotta be honest with you man. This sucker is good. Huh, hold up a sec. Dude, isn't that the TT quattro? The one we saw back up at the top?" The second female racer asked. "No way a TT quattro can keep up with these wheels, gotta be somebody else messing with us." The male racer answered as they were coming into the next corner and started drifting. But the TT was now catching up and getting close to their bumper. "Huh? Gah! It is them! How the hell they catch up to us girl??" The male racer wondered. "Those little rat bags slide right to our faces! That thing is not what they said! It's gotta be a TT sport!" The female racer answered as they tapped the guardrail at the exit of the corner as they were distracted by the TT catching up before heading into the straightaway. "Alright here we go." Ellie said in her mind as she accelerates hard but notices that the TT was unable to accelerate faster than the cars ahead of her and they were pulling away. "What the? It's not wanting to accelerate down the hill at all. It's weird. And these wheels, they're not bald but they're not gripping either. What's up with that?" Ellie wondered in her mind as she also notices that the tires of the TT aren't gripping well and she heads into the next corner but Tristen was screaming as she thinks they were about to touch the guardrail but they were only a few meters close. The TT caught up to the car ahead of it. "Ah! She's so fast! Are you seeing this girl girl??" The male racer asked. "Tristen sure has a slow one on her hands. Okay, I guess it's time for me to pullout my old standby move." Ellie said in her mind as she lets off the accelerator and shifts down as they were about to approach the next hairpin turn. She grips the inside and uses it to pass the IS 300. The drivers in the car were so shocked that they got passed by a TT quattro. Once they were coming down to the next corner. The TT is now in second place. "Try whatever you want but you ain't passing me jerkwad." The female racer said. Ellie uses the inside again to pass the Mustang GT. "What?? What in the hell just happened?? How did she do that?? That ride is not a TT quattro. That much is obvious. She must be driving a TT sport. A well tuned TT sport at that, there's no other explanation. But, check out that roll. A TT sport wouldn't do that. Maybe, it was a TT quattro. Maybe. I don't know anymore!" The female racer exclaimed as she got passed by the TT and witnessed how it handled after performing a body roll on the next corner. Ellie started pulling away from them and kept driving but the two cars stopped as they were in shock of how the TT was handling. "She blew through us like we were a fog bank." The female racer said. "That TT quattro was fast. Too fast." The second female racer replied. "Maybe it was a..." The male racer wondered. "A ghost!" The racers exclaimed as they heard the tires squealing from it's echo. Some time later. Garage. "Done." I said as I closed the hood of my R34 and I was finished tweaking up the engine. "Branden. Are you done with what you have to do?" April asked. "Yeah. I'm done. You need me for something?" I asked. "Jill needs you and Ellie for a briefing. We have our first battle to talk about. She'll give you the details." April answered. "Sure." I replied as I put the wrench back on the tool box and followed April to the living room. 1 hour later. 11:00 p.m. Jackson Heights. The MX-5 was drifting on the next corner as it was taking it fast. It was heading into the parking area as it stopped and parked between the 3000GT. It also turned off their headlights and the driver that got out of the car was Jenna Sakura. "So are they coming out or not?" Jenna asked. "From what I heard, I think we'll probably see them soon. They were last seen on the west of Beacon Hill not too long ago." Britt answered. "Well it's about time. Guess I'll go ahead and do the downhill. The uphill's all your's. Your 3000GT will handle it better." Jenna suggested. "Yeah, it's what I was thinking too." Britt replied. "I dunno how fierce the competition is in Bayview. But I wanna show these guys we'll redefine the term getting burned if they mess with us." Jenna said. The next day. 9:30 p.m. Jackson Heights. Jenna was on the mountain pass taking her MX-5 for a spin as it's tires were changed. "These new tires feel great, just what I needed. This battle is mine! I mean now is important to me but there's just no way I'm ever quitting racing!" Jenna said in her mind as she clears the next corners. A few hours later. Parking Area. "Jenna! They're here!" A racer called as they heard tires squealing coming from the group of cars coming up to the parking area and it was our team. "The Bayview Racing Team, finally you showed yourself." Jenna said in her mind as she hears the engines roaring from the distance. "That's an R34... huh, what's that? A Z33?" Britt wondered as she saw our cars heading into the parking area. "Woah, these guys really know how to make an entrance. They might be tough." Jenna said in her mind as the vans passed by her and was in shock of how fast they would be when they go up against her. The vans were parked in front of my R34 and Ellie's Z33 as they were preparing to fix it. "Hey, Jill. Get up. We're here, come on it's time! Jill! It doesn't matter what she is doing. Her concentration is always amazing. Wish I could do that. She hasn't woken up once since we left South Market. Not even for a drink or to use the can."Adena called as she was trying to wake up Jill but she was asleep and she later woke up. "Jill understands efficiency. She's got many talents. That's just one." I replied. "Hey April, sorry girl. Can you snag me a water?" Jill asked. "Yeah, sure." April answered as she grabbed a water bottle from the small fridge that was on the back seat. "Let's begin." Jill said as she took the water bottle and drank a sip from it. "How's it going? We're the Bayview Racing Team from the City Core area." Adena greeted. "People know us as the Shine Stars. On this mountain, we're the main team that races. We're the ones to beat. So naturally, you guys will be racing against us." Britt greeted. "That sounds good, we're ready to go. Now I'm sure someone contacted you this about earlier. But we'd like to practice here tonight if it's all right with you. That way we can be fully rested and prepped for tomorrow night's race." Adena suggested. "I hear you, I got no problem with that. If my eyes aren't lying. You guys only brought an R34 and a Z33. Only two cars to start?" Britt asked. "We specialize them battling opponents far away. This is the result of that. We've gotten more efficient. The Z33 is for downhill. The R34 is for the uphill and these two humans are our double aces. Alright, we'll get started then." Adena answered. "They're a lot more polite than I expected them to be. Racers usually aren't the friendliest guys. I thought it was weird that they brought two cars. But what's with the three vans. Are they support units? What are they hiding in there?" Brittney wondered. "The Z33's final settings are locked in and ready. With the changes we made, they're looking something like this." April said as she handed Jill a device that shows the Z33's settings. "This isn't a normal racing team. Racers usually ride together. It doesn't make sense to me. I mean three support vans for two cars I don't know about that. A team's a team but am I the only one here who thinks these guys look more like professional circuit racers?" Brittney asked. "Look they just do this crap to try to psyche us out. You can't let em. What do you think they're gonna accomplish with one night of practice? We've been doing this for 2 years. That's 2 more years than they have. I mean come on, we must've driven this course like a thousand times already. They can have twenty support units out here, who cares. When it comes down to it. It's driver vs driver. And I don't exactly plan on losing. Especially to any 3.5L liter. This is my turf. No crap Z33 is gonna take me down." Jenna answered as she looked at Ellie standing by her Z33. "Okay, I understand. This'll work. Give Yajima the basic rundown. Have her think about it and tell her to get with me if she has any ideas." Jill suggested. "Right." April answered. "I don't want to go into too much detail right now. But this is important. She should start thinking of things on her own." Jill replied. "Sure, I gotcha." April said as Jill walks up to Ellie. "Have you seen that video yet?" Jill asked. "Yeah, I've watched it like 40 times already." Ellie answered. "I'm assuming that means you've memorized the course then. For your first five runs. I only want you at 70%. There's a difference between watching the video and actually driving the course but I hope you put that together already. First and foremost you gotta adjust to that difference." Jill explained. "Sure." Ellie answered. "Branden, you understand what I'm saying too right? You pick up your pace only after you've gotten used to the difference." Jill asked. "Yeah, you don't have to worry about a thing." I answered. "Okay, then go." Jill replied as we both nodded at her. I got in my R34 and Ellie got in her Z33. I was ahead of her and we were about to leave the parking area as we were on our way to the course. Jenna gets in her car and pulls up to Brittney. "I'm going too. As long as my tires are solid. I'm ready to give it all I've got." Jenna said as she shifts up and drives fast as she was about to leave the parking area along with heading into the course. "You may be right Jenna. What did they accomplish in just one night? That's the frame of mind we have to put ourselves in if we're gonna win this. The moment your wheels cross on to that course. You're gonna have to change the way you've been thinking entirely. The only things you can trust on the asphalt is your driving technique and the car you're holding onto." Brittney said. Ellie drifts onto the next corner and shifts up on the 2nd section. Jenna takes the next corner fast on the first section and the practice was going on and on for the whole night. A day later. 6:30 a.m. Garage. Ellie got out to the garage as she yawned. "Okay, I'm heading out." Ellie said as Elisa showed her a cup of water. She takes it and walks to her Z33 as she gets in. She puts it on the cup holder and shifts up to 1st gear as she was about to leave the garage after the garage door was opened. Some time later. 7:00 p.m. "Holy crap. These gutters are wide open." Adena said as she saw some uncovered gutters on the track. "Jill said something about it to me. I didn't expect them to be quite like this." Ellie replied. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Back in a few use years ago they used panels. Usually the gutters are covered in concrete. It was so dark during their practice runs last night they didn't stand out. But if even one of your tires dip into these gutters at racing speeds. Your under carriage will be totaled." Adena explained. "You know, I was thinking. When Jill mentioned this last night. She must've been warning me." Ellie wondered. "Hm?" Adena asked. "She told me that how you overcome these gutters in the race will win or lose it for you." Ellie answered as she and Adena were walking up on the road as they were looking at the uncovered gutters. "She can say what she wants. But the best we can do is be careful not to fall in. Look, we're just gonna have to trust her. There's a lot Jill knows. And we don't always understand what she means until the very last hand is dealt. And then, it always ends the same. It's exactly the way how she predicts it will be. You can count on it." Adena replied as they both stopped walking. Meanwhile. Beacon Hill. "This time, I bored out the 1800 B6 to a 2000. I put in high compression pistons and a lighten flywheel. And that way, she'll get a response time a lot closer to the level we need it. Then I put in quad valve sports fuel injectors. She's a real bad girl." Jenna said. "If you combine what you've got under the hood with your driving technique Jenna, it sounds to me like the ultimate downhill machine. I gotta admit, I'm jealous." Michael replied. "With all of this, there's no way I can lose. No way." Jenna said. 2 hours later. 9:00 p.m. Jackson Heights. Parking area. "The other team wants to do the downhill first. I'd figured that works fine for us. And it's not gonna be a side by side start. It'll start with a chase. One car chasing the other. They'll go first and I'm sure you know this, but if she pulls away from you, we lose the race. Try not to forget that when you're out there." Adena explained as Ellie gave a nod at her. "It's ready. You can start anytime." April replied as she was finished tuning up the Z33 and Jill nodded at her. Jenna closes the hood of her MX-5. "You might just think it's just another Z33 Jenna. But I promise you, there's nothing normal about this car." Brittney suggested. "Of course I know that. But I absolutely have no control of what she's driving. Best I can do is to just get out there and race." Jenna answered. "Hey Jenna." Michael replied. "Michael, give me your hand." Jenna suggested as Michael gave her his hand and she was starting to feel numb because of the Bayview Racing Team. "Can you feel that? I'm shaking... I'm so scared. To tell you the truth, all I want to do right now is just runaway from here. I know this is weird but at the same time, I'm happy. I feel like I can hardly control myself. And do you know why that is? It's because of the Bayview Racing Team. I've been driving a long time and it's a rare thing to have the opportunity to race under pressure like this. Tonight's battle. It's gonna be the most important event of my entire life. I'm the representative of the Shine Stars out there. Tonight, my driving will make you all proud. No regrets left behind." Jenna explained. "That's how you're gonna win this. Now do it." Brittney replied. "Alright, this it guys. Let's move out!" Jenna said as she gets in her car and parks it at the exit of the parking area as the race will start there while the Z33 is behind her. "I'm Jenna Sakura. Nice to meet you." Jenna greeted as she showed her hand. "Ellie Yajima." Ellie greeted as she gave Jenna a handshake and she felt a chill behind the special driver's handshake. She gets back to her Z33 and gets in. "What's this feeling? I've never felt like this before. Like I'm numb. Pins and needles. They're so numb, I'm almost crawling out of my skin. Now, you're gonna take care of me on those roads right?" Jenna wondered as she kneeled and patted her tires. She got in the MX-5 as well. Ellie revs her car up as the exhaust sound of the Z33 was loud. Jenna revs her car and shifts up as she launches off from the start and the Z33 did the launched off as well. The race between Ellie and Jenna has begun. "You probably don't know this Jenna. But you're the reason I joined this team. You're the best. The daredevil kamikaze downhiller. There's not a single person alive who can keep up with you on the downhill. Not now. Not ever. Losing to some outsider Z33. Huh, maybe even on the books tonight." Michael said in his mind. They approached the first corner and they were now heading into the straightaway. "I made the right decision into choosing into lead. You lose that rhythm on the downhill. It'll kill ya. I wouldn't be the first guy carried off this mountain. Calm down, this isn't about winning or losing. This is all about maxing out my full potential." Jenna said in her mind as she brakes into the next corner and Ellie brakes as well. She shifts up to 3rd gear. "When you get right down to it. The MX-5 is a more compact vehicle than the Z33. And because of its smaller size. You can bet that their main weapon will be technical footwork. What I've seen so far tells me this girl Jenna is driving is rough. She's relying on leading into the corners at high speeds it's not like it's bad form just kind of rookie if you ask me. This'll push her car through every corner by using an inertial drift. Don't get me wrong, I understand that every driving style starts with a concept of going into a corner as fast as possible. I just think that you can say that her driving technique was almost nurtured by her underpowered Roadster." Jill explained. They were now drifting into corner by corner. "So, you're saying that she's just like Yajima?" Adena asked. "Yeah that's right, it's very similar to the relationship Ellie has with her Z33 with one exception." Jill answered. They were coming into the next straightaway as they were passing by through the crowd and they were cheering. "The big highlight of this course is the stretch at the end where there are no covers over the gutters. And with the drivers pull off at that moment, we'll make this race." Jill said. "Yeah, but I wonder. Is there any way for a driver to get over those pits without just trying to avoid them all together? There's gotta be another method." Adena asked. "Yeah, there is. I already told Ellie about it. It's an incredibly dangerous technique. It relies on shifting the car's weight. But it's nothing Ellie and Branden can't handle. I mean, hey. They are my double aces." Jill answered. Ellie and Jenna were drifting on the long curve as they were on their way into the section on where the lidless gutters will come up. "Guess I should start being impressed. Nobody's able to stay close to me for this long. One thing's for sure. That's no normal junker Z33. But even more important than that. Who the heck is the girl behind the wheel?" Jenna wondered in her mind. "Yeah she's good. But it doesn't feel like I'm really being pushed." Ellie said in her mind as they were now on the straightaway. "I think this girl's got her hands full keeping up with me. I can win this. I know it! I'm not responsible for when you push too hard trying to keep up. If you value your life, then you should give up right now!" Jenna exclaimed in her mind as she brakes and shifts down as she drifts through the next corner. They were now on another straightaway. "Her cornering is incredible. But it's reckless." Ellie said in her mind as they were about to hit into a section that will provide the lidless gutters. Starting point. "Hey Jill. There's still no real distance between them." April said. "Sounds right. Because this is where it begins. The fastest downhill racer in Bayview... is about to show her teeth." Jill replied. They were on the straightaway and heading into another corner. The race continues on with Ellie keeping up with Jenna onto the next section coming up.
