Born to Race

Yeah, what you got?

An ET 35 Raw Turbo kit. Mishimoto intercooler.

Uh huh.

Engine SCS exhaust.

Oh, what?

That's how I roll.

Oh, check it out, it's the SX Race Car.

Our boy's gone legit, sponsored ride and everything.

What's next, Kruger?

I want to be the first import racer in top fuel.

Yeah.

I better get your autograph now, so I can sell it

on eBay when you blow up.

Come on, Danny, you know you can't be here in this.

Relax, Mikey, I'm just here to visit, no harm in that.

If EFX finds out you're just visiting, your ass is done,

they'll kick you off.

Ahhh. Look who showed up,

you going to pay your respects to the King?

Tony, if I beat you again, you'd have to file assault charges.

Oh, ho, ho.

Nobody can touch my new set up, Kruger.

And, you ain't top dog no more.

Don't listen to him, you know he's baiting you.

I'll tell you what, I'll come back with my slow car,

and make it fair.

Ohhhh.

You know what, I don't care what you're driving,

step up or shut up.

Ohhhh.

Not tonight.

Yeah, forget it.

Oh, so, so what, you just coming to show off?

You go ahead, standing like a pansy and posing next to that...

show car.

You can like say what you want about me, Kruger,

when I come to the ring, I'm ready to box.

Right.

Ohhhh.

Okay, come on.

Yeah, ohhhh.

Let's do it.

Walk away.

I'm not going to let this punk make me look bad.

Who cares what these people think.

They just want to see a race.

Attention all units, downtown.

Got a possible 10-19 in progress at Spencer.

Dude, I just heard it on the scanner, it's been called in.

Flag us.

I'm not doing it, this is stupid, I'm telling you.

Just do it. It'll be over in ten seconds.

You all right?

Yeah.

Good. Put your hands up, you're under arrest.

Spread your legs.

I only agreed to let you race for them, because

I thought it would keep you out of trouble. That you would

finally be doing something productive. I have had it.

Oh boy.

How bad this time?

Dude, l, I don't think we should do this, man.

Mr. Afshaw, I am so sorry.

If you could let me explain, l...

What part do you want to explain?

The part where you took a hundred thousand Dollar

car to an illegal street race, or how you managed

to crash it into a cop car? You're lucky nobody got hurt.

I know. I made a mistake, but...

What you did was stupid. This is a disaster.

You're done, Kruger.

I'll, I'll pay for it.

You're done.

Come on, Danny, let's go. Sorry, Mr. Afshaw.

Ohhh, I should have listened to you.

Dude, you're like a bull, you see red, you just go for it.

It doesn't matter what anyone says.

Yeah.

Keep your head up, man. You'll be all right.

What?

We're trying to help you, we are...

it's, it's just, ah...

We're sending you to live with your father.

What?

You need to make a clean break, put all of this behind you.

When did you talk to him?

This morning.

He put you up to this, didn't he?

No, Joe has nothing to do with this.

Every time there's a problem, it is worst than the last time.

Speeding tickets, street racing, and now another accident, l

don't even want to think about what is going to happen next.

You're going to send me to go live with a guy

that I haven't seen in five years? He's a drunk.

No, Danny, he is not a drunk.

Oh, not any more.

I have done everything I can think of and l

don't know what else to do.

I'm not going.

My whole life is here, there's no way...

No, you don't have a choice in the matter.

You are going, end of story.

Hey Liz.

Hi, Frank.

You look good.

Umh, you too.

Hey kid.

Hey, Frank.

So, you want to get loaded up or what?

It's ahh, nice ride you got back there.

What is it, ah, 2003, right?

2004.

Four.

Modify it yourself?

Me and my buddy, Mikey.

Nice.

Looks expensive.

A heck of a guy that stepfather of yours.

I bought it myself.

Can we keep the small talk to a minimum?

Ahhh, so that's your plan.

Ignore me.

Until I turn eighteen, pretty much.

Umh.

Why wait, tough guy, go on.

Get out!

Take a walk.

Go ahead and hate me all you want, it won't

change the fact that we're stuck with each other.

Do you understand?

Oh, I'm not going to win a popularity contest,

or be your best friend, or make up for lost time.

I'm here because your mother couldn't handle you anymore,

you get that? You get it?

I owe her.

Yeah?

What about me?

What about you?

So this is home.

You still have that thing?

Yep.

I bet it runs like crap.

All right.

My humble abode.

So, now that you're living with me, there's a few rules that

you're going to follow. There's no maid service,

so pick up after yourself. You make your own meals,

you do your dishes, laundry is over there.

Your room.

Any questions?

Could we unload my car now?

What's your hurry, you can't drive it.

My license is restricted, I can drive to work and school.

Uh huh?

And, nowhere else, right?

Right. Get unpacked.

I got it from here.

What's it need?

Just finishing a turbo upgrade. It's no big deal.

So, you think you know your way around an engine?

Probably better than you.

Fantastic, I always wanted a second mechanic,

but I couldn't afford it. You're going to put those expert skills

of yours to work, every day, after school. No free rides.

Ahhh.

Crap.

Okay, check the fuel maps. The air fuel ratio

gets anywhere near 11.5 to one, we lean it out.

This ain't cool, man. We should run it rich.

Dude, I wanted 12.5 to one.

All right, fine. Pistons crack, it's on you, my friend.

Whatever.

Check the EGTs, too.

Yes, master.

Watch this, baby.

What's up, Max. How's the rice burner running?

Pretty sweet. Worked on it all summer.

Cool.

Want to see if the hard work paid off?

Hell, yeah.

It's so much faster with the turbo.

Show them what we got.

Can we not do this, please?

Jake, don't.

Jake, pull over.

All right, we got it.

Jake!

Keep it up.

Ahhh, Jake!

You're such a jerk.

Come on.

Come on.

Shake and bake, baby.

What the hell is wrong with you, they could have been hurt!

What, they're fine.

Come on, you still mad?

Pretty sick prize, right?

Yeah.

Best racing school there is.

All the top racing teams scout for new drivers there.
