Chapter 4: Unleash the power!

Taka looked down the road and studied his situation for a brief moment. The course was one that started off straight, went through a long sweeping right hand turn, went straight again up to an "S" section, then to the turnaround point. He was on the section headed to the S portion, and he could see that the Neon had already gone through and was near the turn around point. Taka's mind went into overdrive trying to think of how to tap into that magical force he just heard about, it had to be real. Throwing all rationalized thinking out the window he tried the first thing he could think of, he yelled out at the top of his lungs "vTEC!!!!!!!!!!!" All of a sudden a rush that felt like a strong tailwind hit him, his engine roared to life and he could barely keep his front tires glued to the street. A 6 foot long flame shot out of his tail pipe and his tires sounded like they where begging for mercy. He hit the next gear and felt a sensation he had never felt before, he was actually going fast! His stock speedometer was now obsolete, it didn't go high enough to mark the speeds he was approaching. In all this excitement Taka could only say one thing: "Yeah baby!" He noticed that besides the extra boost in engine performance he felt more sure footed like he could take on any corner. He raced to the S section without showing any fear or regard for his safety, sliding himself to the left then right and straightening out as if he had been doing if for years. By this time Tony was on his way back through the course, taking it a little slower because he was sure he had the victory well in hand. Did it ever surprise him when he saw Taka coming in his direction and passed him going so fast the force of it pushed Tony sideways and almost into a street pole. Tony was wondering what he just saw, could it have been that same Honda that could burn more oil then rubber? Was he a sleeper car and didn't realize it? Tony took no chances, he steeped it back up a notch and decided he would run all out on the drive back and leave nothing to chance. He felt a little uneasy, because he knew, just like Taka, that things were going to get really interesting really quick...

Next up: Chapter 5: Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
