Chapter 3

----------------Chapter 3 -----------------

The board was sideways, everyone's bike revved as loud as they can. everyone on the gate wanted a spot in the main event. But there was only 2 spots and Jeff wanted to be in one or them.

"Lining up on the gate are the riders for the 450 LCQ, only 2 riders will move on from this race" squealed the announcer.

Than the gate dropped, everyone on the gate trying to get the hole shot, because that was the key to winning the race.

"Annnnnnnd it looks like the whole shot goes to Jeff McDonald" said the announcer

Jeff was in the lead and getting ahead. During the race Jeff noticed that the track was fairly rutted out and bumpy. but,this didn't bother Jeff, he was used to this sense his track is the same way.

With only 2 laps to go and a 10 second lead Jeff was closer and closer to winning the LCQ. by the time it was only one lap to go Jeff was slowly loosing the lead and the 2nd place rider was close.

Jeff was close to the finish line when he heard the fans cheer and yell for him while he speeded by. well it turns out they where cheering for the 2nd place rider who was only 1.2 seconds away.

Jeff than pushed it the rest of the way and finished the race with a 1st place. when he was at his pitt his mechanic came over to Jeff and said

" that was a good race, you almost lost it at the end but you pulled through,good job. now get ready for the main event soon this will count"

Jeff went in this trailer and made lunch for him, the mechanic, and Nikki. they all had, grilled ham and cheese with mayo. after eating the mechanic and Nikki went outside while Jeff cleaned up the camper. As Jeff went outside he heard the mechanic say " if Jeff does bad on the main event I'm leaving the team"

When Jeff heard that he froze, if the mechanic left Jeff would be doomed. than he heard Nikki say "you can't do that, Jeff needs you here with out you he would have a shitty bike and couldn't race "

"I know" replied the mechanic.

Jeff waited another second to make sure they where done talking. when he was sure he walked outside.

Than Nikki greeted him with a "hello,Jeff". like normal

"Hey, Nikki" was the reply.

"Hey do you know where the next race is?" asked Nikki

"Winchester,NH, why?"

"Just wondering" replied Nikki.

Jeff went over to his bike and filled it up with gas, than went in to the camper and put on a new pair of riding gear. As Jeff finally finished heard the announcer say " the 450 Pro class is in the staging area.

Jeff ran out of the camper passing Nikki and she said "good luck " but Jeff had no time to respond for he would be late if he stopped to chatter. Jeff's mechanic already had the bike running and off the stand so Jeff could jump on.

"Hurry up you'll be late" the mechanic said

Then Jeff rode down to the gate. When Jeff was lining up his mechanic finally arrived and asked " are u ready?, is the bike all set?, do you feel good?......."

Before the mechanic finished Jeff said "calm down I'm fine the bike is fine and yes I am ready."

"Ok" replied the mechanic.

"Now lining up on the gate is the 450 pro main event" blasted the announcer.

As the 30 second board rises up the bike start to reeve to show readiness. the board was sideways. just than every thing went in slow motion to Jeff. He saw Nikki, and the mechanic cheering and the rider getting ready. Boom just then, the gate dropped and Jeff was stunned, it took him a sec to relies what just happened, the gate dropped.

Taking off there was no was Jeff would make the hole shot but he should be able to win. Jeff in 5, racing to get to the top. speeding down the straight away, fans cheering by his side, Jeff thinking I got this.

His mechanic signed him "bad start" with the pit board. with only 6 laps left Jeff still pushed through the pack, now in 3 rd he had a podium but, 3 rd wasn't good enough so Jeff pushed it hard. speeding though the corners and flying over the jumps. Now in second place Jeff saw the leader ahead.

Zooming by his mechanic while he said "great job just don't fall.". and Jeff didn't he was tied with the 1st place and had to push it battling for the lead with 2 corners to go! Jeff was trilled already and could taste victory.

One corner left Jeff was ahead by one second, but the other rider sped up. finically the finish flag waved and the announcer came on saying "and it looks like the winner is....................
