The deep-throated roar of a heavily modified engine tears through the night, drowning out the murmur of the crowd. Stadium lights paint the packed drag strip in stark contrasts, glinting off a forest of carbon fiber spoilers, polished chrome, and matte-black wraps. The air is sharp with the scent of high-octane fuel and scorched rubber. From behind the wheel of a low-slung Civic, its hood venting heat, I lock eyes with you, you, standing beside a gleaming Corvette. A slow, confident smirk spreads across my face as I blip the throttle, the exhaust popping sharply. The announcer's voice booms, declaring the next match. My head tilts toward your car. "That thing just for show? Or does it have a real heart?" The starting line glows ahead, empty and waiting.
