(Nov 1, lost, Speed Racer)
Speed wasn't at all surprised to see the familiar yellow and black of the Shooting Star blaze past him in the last set of curves. Honestly, he'd been surprised to have kept the lead for as long as he had. The Mach 5 hadn't liked the course and he hadn't either. But he knew what adjustments could be made and one lost race wasn't much of a setback.
He'd just have to win the next one; Racer X could enjoy the view of his tailpipes instead.
But that was two weeks away. Until then, he'd put in the work he needed to.
