The next day

Max's pov

Ok now we just gotta wait for JL. Shaw and I meet up with our cars at the same restaurant as last night. Soon I heard the sound of a high revving engine and the sound of a blow-off valve's whistle. Guess he arrived. The R34 parked next to Jack's R33. "Sup guys." JL greeted us as he got out of his R34. "Hey JL." Jack and I greeted back. "You 2 ready to go?" "Yeah, let's go."

15mins later

After driving for about 15mins, I found out where JL was taking Jack and I to. Mount Taikan in the Hakone. Soon we reached the bottom of the mountain.

JL's pov

Ok we've reach Mount Taikan, let's see if they can keep up with me. Once we reached the bottom of the mountain I down shifted and punched the accelerator and launched forward.

Max's pov

Suddenly JL accelerated straight up the mountain. Don't think I'm gonna let you get away. Jack and I downshifted and took off chasing JL. I manged to close the gap between him and I but we soon reached a hairpin. I braked hard and gripped the hairpin but I could keep up with JL's power drift, he drifted so fast that my eye can barely keep up. Damn it. After 3 more corners, the R34's Rear bumper disappeared. I knew he was good at drifting but not this good, I can;\'t keep up.

10mins later

Man that was refreshing, been a while since I went up Mount Taikan. Once I reach the top I decided to wait for Max and Jack.

5mins later

Soon I heard the rumble of a V8 and the revving of an RB. Looks like they're finally here. Once the Camaro and R33 parked, their drivers got out. "What took you 2 so long?" I joked walking towards them. "Haha, real funny." Jack said sarcastically. "But seriously, how did you get so good at drifting?" Max asked. "That's easy, I've been learning how to drift since I was 14." I replied.

Jack: "No way, you've got to be joking!"

Me: "No I'm not, as a matter of fact this is the very mountain I trained on. *Tap the ground with right foot*

Max: "That's nuts!"

JL: "Yeah it is... hey you guys wanna learn some drifting techniques?"
Max and Jack: "Hell yeah."

3rd person pov

I has been a few hours since JL started teaching Max and Jack drifting and racing techniques. Clutch kicking, heel and toe, Handbrake drifting and other techniques. JL and Jack are now standing at a hairpin as Max's Camaro comes rushing in. Max downshift to 2nd gear and kicks his clutch but oversteered too much and spun out.

JL: "Again."

Max: "Damn it."

Now it was Jack's turn. The R33 dived into the hairpin, Jack downshifted to 2nd gear and yanked the handbrake but he didn't have enough angle and could only do a weak drift around the hairpin.

JL: "Again."

Jack: "Shit!"

Now JL was sitting in the passenger seat of Max's Camaro. The Camaro charges straight into a hairpin, Max downshifts into 2nd gear and kicks the clutch causing the rear end to kick out.

JL: "Ok good hold it... Hold it."

Max was carefully counter steering while only applying part throttle, holding his drift. Soon they were half way through the corner.

JL: "GO! GO! GO!"

Max punched the accelerator which made the Camaro's V8 scream as it dashed out of the corner at 170km/h.

Max: "Nice!"

Now JL was sitting in the passenger seat of Jack's R33. The GTR flew staright into the hairpin, Jack braked, downshifted and furiously flicked his steering wheel. 

JL: "Hold it, not too early..."

Once Jack had enough angle, he yanked hids hand brake which locked both rear wheels causing them to lose traction.

JL: "Now! Punch it!"

Jack floored the accelerator which made the RB26DETT hit its redline and launch out of the hairpin at 165km/h

Jack: "Sweet!"


The next day

The 3 boys gathered at the top of Mount Taikan again to practice drifting. Going down the hill, there was the sound of 2 RB26DETTs and a 5.7L V8. JL's R34 dives straight into the corner with Jack's R33 and Max's Camaro right behind his tail. They all downshifted and Perfectly drifted around a hairpin at 185km/h.


JL's pov

Damn they really improve a lot, lets see how good they are now. We soon approached another hairpin, I purposely braked and moved to the outside and sure enough Max and Jack took the inside and both did a perfect parallel drift. Guess they really did improve quite a lot.
