Racing AU is inspired by ROADQUEEN: Eternal Roadtrip to Love

In the heart of the southern United States, HBCU rivalry is more than just about sports - it's a way of life. At Spoonerville University, the Gamma Mu Mu fraternity is the epitome of swag, and Bradley Uppercrust III. Bradley thinks he's above everyone else because of his rich family's name and arrogant attitude.

Enter Max Goofy, a charming stoner who's always getting by on his wit and good looks. By day, Max rocks out with his band, but by night, he's behind the wheel of his tricked-out ride, ready to take on any track that comes his way.

When Bradley discovers that Max is crushing on him, he's more amused than intimidated. But little does Bradley know, that Max has a secret plan to take down the Uppercrust fraternity boy and win his heart. The plan involves a high-stakes road race, and if Bradley can't beat Max, he'll have to admit that love is a four-letter word.

As the rivalry heats up on and off the track, it becomes clear that neither Bradley nor Max can resist the other. But what happens when their feelings are put to the test? Will they shift their hearts towards each other or stick to their respective social cliques?
