Out of the corner of his eye Brian saw the Mustang and hear the loud roar. It was impressive. He tried to ignore it and concentrated on the course ahead. His hands tightened around the wheel, knuckles white.
Fayes hands flew down and hit pushed the gas down, shifting up at the perfect time to gain as much headstart as he needed to take the first turn on the inside.

Faye moved between the two cars, lifting her hands into the air she gave them a both a smile, before dropping her hand, a rush of air hit her as both cars rushed past her, she turned watching them go and smiled, heart beating wildly as she waited for the winned.

Ashton put the petal to the metal when Faye's hands dropped. Brian lurched ahead, but that was no matter to Ashton. He didn't know if Brian knew how to drift, but Ashton was expert at it.
The first turn came, and Ashton drifted the car around. He saw Brian trying to take the inside, and Ashton grit his teeth so hard it hurt.

With a hint of admiration he saw the Mustang drift around the corner. "Too slow." he mubled before cutting across to the other side to take the next turn going in the opposite direction. He had gained a few feet on Ashton but not enough. Brian bit his lip and shifted down at the end of the turn to pick up speed again.

Leon pulled his Skyline to a stop quickly getting out and walking over to his sister, his arm wrapping around her shoulders.
"If he kicks Brian's ass, he gets my vote"he smiled dropping his gaze to her
"iv been a sucky big brother as of late, i shouldnt have dragged you into this" He shook his head turning back to the race, he felt as if he had failed his sister on some level, he was ment to be keeping her away from harm no putting her in it.

Ashton groaned as Brian pushed a little ahead. He floored the petal, and gained the missing ground. The cars were now neck and neck, and Ashton needed to get on the inside, or he was sure to lose. He let off the gas, and then turned his wheel sharply. Now, he was driving off the course, but no matter.
As they rounded the turn, Ashton lurched forward so that he was in front of Brian, but not by much.
"Come on," he mumbled, checking his rear-view mirror.

Faye felt an arm go around her and smiled as her brothers scent overwhelmed her. "He's going to kick his ass"She smiled leaning her head agsint his chest.
"Dont be stupid, i found Ashton because of it"she whispered looking at him with her doe eyes. "He's the best thing to happen to me Lee, your my brother i'd do anything for you, i owe you a lot"she turned back to the race seeing Ashton pull in front of Brian.

"You got balls, I'll give you that!" Brian mumbled when he saw Ashton overtaking him off the track. This kid was driving pretty aggressive so Brian decided to kick it up a notch as well. He briefly went to the inside on the next turn just to swirf back out and stay side by side throughout the turn with Ashton. At the end of it he came so close their doors almost touched and he smiled over at the younger man. He noticed that his fingers felt slightly numb on the steering wheel but ignored it and slammed in the next gear, which brought him an inch ahead of Ashton. On the straight stretch he could demonstrate the full power of his engine even without the NOS. Brian's dress shoes met the bottom panel when the Skyline launched forward. A smile played on his lips because he was almost sure that Aston couldn't keep up without using his NOS but there were still two laps to go.

Leon dropped a kiss to his sister head, holding her tighter towards him. "Iv said it before, but he's a good guy, i like him, so just let him in"He looked out over at the race seeing both Brian and Ashton head to head.
"Dont loose a good guy because your afraid"

Faye smiled nodding her head slowly. "Yea he does doesnt he"She feltl the tears swell into her eyes at her brothers words and forced them down, she closed her eyes and took breath. She wasnt going to break down, not yet, not now, she just wasnt,
"I wont, i think it would be kinda heard to let go of him"She laughed, she had seen how protective Ashton was of her.
"Your stuck with me to, im planning on sticking around."

Don't use your nitrous yet, Ashton thought. He watched Brian's car lurch forward, and he smiled. He pressed the gas pedal as far down as it would go, and he was soon neck and neck again.
"I ain't givin' up that easily!" he yelled. He drifted around the turn and managed to pull ahead by a couple inches.

Not only the old car but also the guys driving skills were impressive. Now it was time to find out who had the stronger nerves. The last lap was about to start and its first turn not far ahead. Brian steared closer and close to Ashton. he was still on the inside of the turn but if Ashton didn't swirf and go further outside their cars would connect. Hopefully the guy saw him out of the corner of his eye.

Ashton saw Brian getting closer. He really didn't want a paint job, but if he swerved farther outside, he would lose his position. The engine was already pushing as fast as it could go, and if he used nitrous now, he would surely lose the race.
So, he held his position, and grit his teeth when the two cars collided. Again, Ashton drifted around the first turn, and the two cars were still scraping together. He grit his teeth and waited for the right moment to hit the nitrous button. But it wasn't yet.

"Bastard." Brian shouted when Ashton didn't give way but came closer instead. At least it proofed that winning was more important than paint. They made it to the end of the turn almost at the same time. Now there was only the straight stretch in the middle of the figure eight and the turn toward the finish. Brian's finger hovered over the button until he came out of the turn, then pressed it down. The timing was perfect. Unfortunately his vision wasn't. The aftermath of the shock he figured. So Brian just grabbed the steering wheel and hel it tight.

Ashton's heart thudded in his chest. He watched as Brian jumped forward, and Ashton smiled. He pressed the button, and let the extra horsies take care of the rest. Almost as if at a drag race, the front end of the mustang launched in the air to the point that Ashton could no longer see.
When the nose went back down, he had crossed the finish line. So as to avoid hitting Faye and Leon, he swerved in a circle and stopped with his car parked next to Leon's Skyline. He didn't know who had won, considering he was staring at the sky for the end of the race, but he felt happy.
"Who won?" he asked.

Brian looked to the side where he saw the Mustangs front climb up in the air. It was an impressive sight. He had to pay for the quick glance big time though. When he looked back at the track his vision became blurred.
His heart rate suddenly peaked when he couldn't make out where the edge of track was. He more or less guessed and ended up with two tires in the dirt next to the pavement. Unfortunately it cost him precious seconds and he barely missed a concrete construction for spectators on the side.
"Fuck, fuck!" Brian smacked his fist against the dashboard when the Skyline came to a halt in the dust.
Loosing to a rookie wasn't something he enjoyed. He frowned.

Ashton guessed that with the Brian pounding his fists against the dashboard and yelling that he (Ashton) had won. But what bothered him was the way that Brian had finished, half the car in the dirt. Brian surely would have won the race.
Ashton walked over and opened up the car door, offering to help Brian out of the car.
"You okay? I know you had me at the end. What happened?"

'Great, now I have to find an explanation why I lost,too.' he thought. He glared up at the man. "Nothing happened. Just some damn dirt in my eye." He rubbed his eye but stayed seated. If he got out right now he'd probably sway like a palm tree in the breeze. What a stupid idea to race today. Now his car was scratch along with his pride. "I'm okay. I'll see you over there." He muttered and pulled the door closed and slowly drove back onto the track.

Ashton sighed. At least he had enough money to cover the re-do of his paint job and Brian's. He jogged over and leaned against his car, motioning for Faye to join him. He nodded his head at Leon, before turning his attention to Brian.
"Hey, Brian, I can cover the cost of your Skyline's re-do paint job if you want. It's the least I can do." Even if Ashton had lost the race, he still would have offered to give Brian money for the paint job. It was just the kind of guy that Ashton was...sort of.
