After pulling out the weapon key, Clay placed it into the ignition of his wrist device, and once he turned it, the backpack on his armor opened and revealed a chainsaw which launched into the air, and landed on the ground.

"A chainsaw?" Clay asked. "I'm gonna be like a young motorized Leatherface with this get up." "Well to your enemies you will be," Walter answered. "This armor can give you any weapon to use against opponents. I'll be designing more weapon keys soon, but for now the one I gave you will be all you need to save yourself." "Well, I guess clothes really do make the man," Clay said. "Even though I just turned sixteen, I feel like a man already."

Suddenly the screen turned on near the wall, revealing that Chloe was calling. "Honey, some man from NASCAR sign in is here to see our son," Chloe explained. "That must be the judge Ricky talked into for my audition," Clay said. "Ricky wake up, the judge is here." Ricky's eye's opened, as his face was still covered in paint. "I better get up there, and meet him," Clay said.

Meanwhile, the judge was talking with the judge, while Jeeves the waiter was serving them both coffee. "I got to say, this coffee is remarkably profound," the judge said. "Thank you, Mr. Leonard," Chloe explained. "Jeeves was hired to make great drinks, but sometimes I help out with the cooking once he takes a break every once in a while." Clay came out of the lab through the elevator, and entered through where his Mom, and Mr. Leonard were talking, without using his super speed. "Sorry, I'm late, Ma," Clay said. "Is the judge still here?"

"If you're looking for the judge for the NASCAR vehicle tournament, then you should make an appointment of course," Leonard said. "I am Byron Leonard, the top judge for the tournament of course, which means I do whatever it takes to make sure every racer knows their place, and where they will be placed afterwards." "Nice to meet you sir," Clay said. "The name's Clayton Parks, but most of my friends call me Clay." "It's a pleasure," Leonard said. "Your friend Rick Filbert told me about you." "Well, he's my best friend, and mechanic at the school we race at," Clay said. "Ah, so you've been doing this for your entire life now?" Leonard asked. "Well since I was 13 years old, actually," Clay answered.

"And I thought Joey would be the youngest right about now," Leonard said. "Listen kid, I appreciate your life style, and love for racing, but I'm looking for worthy competitors for the tournament in order to go up against your opponents. We don't need amateurs in the spotlight of racing. We need stars that focus well on surviving." "What a coincidence," Clay said. "I just got a new car yesterday, and it might help me cut to the chase with my opponents, if you know what I mean." "Show me your car," Leonard said. "I want to get a good look at it, before we can take it to the obstacle course."
