Shit! This is why I slow down when it's time to curve. If you don't you will lose control! That dumb-ass!
His car was coming directly towards me. The car then tilted and was rolling towards my right in front of me.
I had two choices:
A)Risk it and speed up hopefully avoiding getting smashed against Derek's car or
B)Slow down or stop before his car reaches mine and not risk getting killed by a car smashing into mine.
I think the choice is pretty obvious...
Option A it is.
I'm not going to slow down ever! I'm reaching that damn finish line giving it all I've got and if that means risking my life... then f*ck it.
Everything went by in slow motion.
His car was tumbling towards mine. I had less than a second. My heart was pounding uncontrollably in my chest. I stomped on the gas pedal harder. There was only one way to get under and past the car on time.
I had to drift.
I turned my car sideways and lost contraction allowing my car to slide under the jump of Derek's car as it rolled over and over in my direction.
As soon as I did, my breath hitched and my heart stopped.
His car was going to crash... and I didn't...
Get hit mother efers!
His car crashed right behind mine. It was extremely close to hitting my car. I could have died or been seriously injured.
I let out the breath I was holding and screamed in excitement at the top of my lungs.
I have never drifted in a NASCAR race. The only times I drift - which isn't very often - are at the street races.
Man I f*cking rock!
I crossed the finish line and swerved my car to be facing towards the crash. I took a deep breath and unbuckled before opening the door and climbing out.
The crowd was deadly silent. My heart was beginning to stammer in chest.
Then as if a wave of relief washed over the crowd everyone began cheering like maniacs, getting out of their seats, and chanting my name over and over.
Paramedics ran out to the track and over to Derek's car. Reporters ran to the track towards me.
"Reed!"
"Reed how did you manage to do that?"
"Reed you could have died or been severely injured did that thought cross your mind?"
"Reed what drove you to commit such a reckless act?"
