Wow.
Me and my dad built her.
Nine hundred horses of Detroit muscle.

No. What did she run?
Nine seconds flat.

So much torque, the chassis twisted coming offthe line.

So, what's your best time?
- l've never driven her. - Why not?
lt scares the shit out ofme.
That's my dad.
He was comin' up in the pro stock car circuit.
Last race ofthe season.
Ah, a guy named Kenny Linder came up from inside...
in the final turn.
He clipped his bumper and put him into the wall at 1 20.
Um...
l watched my dad burn to death.
l remembered hearing him scream.
But the people that were there said that he had died before the tanks blew.
They said it was me who was screaming.
l saw Linder about a week later.
l had a wrench...
and l hit him.
And l didn't intend to keep hitting him...
but by the time l was done, l couldn't lift my arm.
He's ajanitor at a high school.
Has to take the bus to work evey day.
And they banned me from the tracks for life.
l live my life a quarter mile at a time.
Nothing else matters.
Not the mortgage, not the store...
not my team and all their bullshit.
for those ten seconds or less...
l'm free.
