Chapter 7 - "Winging It"
"I'll see you tomorrow baby."
"Alright, see you babe."
Now Where did my keys go?
"You forgot your keys!"
"Oh, thanks."
I Unlocked the door and checked my phone
iPhone: You have 1 Missed Call From Alexi Tolstoy
"Siri, Call Alexi Tolstoy"
"Calling Alexi Tolstoy."
"Where are you man?"
"On a date, what's so important?"
"The Schedule Just got changed, the cops only gave us a one hour window, you have 15 minutes to get here."
"Calm, down I'm only 3 miles away."
A Short Drive Later...
"Hey Michael, Tom's in pit 4, you're in pit 2. The starting positions are the same number as your pit number. There's 10 minutes until we start so get your car ready. You have to get in the top 3 to get into the team."
"Thanks Alex."
"You ready Mike?"
"Yeah, how about you?"
"Just checking the tire pressure."
"Alright, I'll see you at the winner's circle."

"Who says being a Greenpeace member couldn't be fun?"
"Oh wait, I forgot to tighten the gas cap."
"Please don't break down baby."
"This new Spoon engine runs like a dream."
"Let's go VQ35!"
"It's lonely back here."
I still need to work on my throttle control
"Power!"
All of a sudden Tom flew past me.
"See you at the finish line bro."
"I am surprised by this."
"Surprised and annoyed."
"Geez this guy is slow."
"Move it!
"Damn this single gear transmission
"Why Hello there."
"These guys are pretty good."
The 'convoy' started to close in on Tom
We were making good progress until The Tesla came along
"HAI HAI!"
"WHAT THE 🤬?!"
"Ow."
"Now I have 2 guys to chase down, great."
"Hello again."
"Try not to crash into me this time."
I reached up and flipped the tab on the rearview mirror to night mode
"My eyes are burning now."
The Tesla made another attack
"Oh that will buff out buddy."
"I hope so, or I'm breaking your neck."
"Good old V8 Power"
"Maybe I should've stayed on the gas."
I gave the gas pedal one last stomp and passed the Tesla
"Was he sandbagging?"
"Bye!"
"I really do need better suspension."
"Much better suspension."
I once again had to resort to my unlimited power reserve to pass the 350Z
"Maybe I should've bought that T67."
I guess just passing is better than failing...
"What happened to Mike?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Congrats on the win, I'll buy you a beer."
"We're not old enough to drink yet."
"I'll buy you a soda then."
"Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet the man in the Tesla, he apologizes for hitting you and hopes there aren't any hard feelings."
"Hey man, sorry about that."
"Nah it's fine, just try to drive a little cleaner next time."
"Yeah fo sure man"
"Can you do me a favor kid?"
"What?"
"Drop that gangster talk, this isn't Jersey Shore."
"Huh? You wanna go man? Huh? You think you can touch this?"
"Calm down Jerrell, we don't like team members fighting with each other."
"Besides, Tom's a Black Belt."
That made Jerrell quiet real fast
"Anyways, you 3 are the newest members of Hi-Power Racing, we have a bunch of races coming up so make sure I have your numbers."
"You have mine."
"Here's mine."
"You got mine dawg."
"Alright then, here's the quick rundown, Tom's the second-in-command for the street section, Mike has Highway and Scouting. And Jerrell has Track covered. Any questions?"
"Yeah, who's the leader of streets?"
"Me. Any other questions?"
"Who's under us?"
"Some new guys that we found this afternoon, I think you already know one of them. His name is Jack, drives a Jaguar XK?"
"Oh god."
"Yeah, we're still going to thin out the candidates with another race, it's going to be at the local track. You can come see if you want. It's at 3:30 on Tuesday.""
"Okay, thanks for the info Alex, I'm gonna call it a night and go to sleep."
"See you on Tuesday."
