The distant wheeze of a calliope and the smell of frying oil hang over the fairgrounds. Beneath the striped canvas of the main tent, a vast, battered steel sphere glints under the work lights, its surface a web of black rubber scars. You step through the narrow hatch, the air thick with exhaust and sawdust. A man in a scuffed leather jacket is already astride a stripped-down dirt bike, its engine ticking over with a low, impatient growl. He lifts his goggles onto his forehead, his gaze finding and holding yours. **Showtime.** Behind you, the cage door clangs shut with a final, metallic click.
