My Buddy's Car

The Final Countdown

   Its the last race. Its for all the marbles. One hundred thousand dollars or your opponents car. And in this final bracket were two names. Johnny Carlisle and Wesley Smithers. The cars names were there too The Beast Vs Zelda. As the cars lined up, a fear began to well up inside me. Not because I could lose, but what might happen if I won. I had both tanks to the brim so i could drive for several days, but I knew I had to end Zelda's reing of terror. The moment the light shot on I floored it. The cars left the line in a dead heat. I heard his turbos whine and my supercharger bellow. I flicked the nos switch and armed the system. Just as Zelda began to get an edge. My nos did the trick. I won by a half second margin. I never stopped running. I crossed the line and kept going. Running straight for the place where Zelda stays. Wes went back to his garage and Jackson collected my reward check. Wes found Jackson and they chatted about me and Wes congratulated me to Jackson. That was the moment when Zelda drove past him with no one at the wheel. He screamed in terror. Jackson started his truck and began to follow Zelda from a distance.
