"Thanks, but who are you?" "I am E.P. arnold RoyaIton, Esquire president and chairman of RoyaIton Industries." "And it is my honor to meet you both." "Oh, dear, I seem to have interrupted your breakfast." "Is that pancakes I smell?" "Oh, are you hungry, Mr. RoyaIton?" "A figure like mine requires constant attention, Mrs. Racer." "And do you Iike pancakes?" "When I was a child, we used to say:" "[SPEAKS IN GERMAN]" "Pancakes are love." "Mm." "Mm." "Gorgeous, Mrs. Racer." "Superb density." "Hints of vanilla." "Cinnamon?" "That's right." "absolutely gorgeous." "well, I'm glad you Iike them." "Like them?" "I wanna buy your recipe." "Oh!" "I'II give you the recipe, Mr. RoyaIton." "Nonsense!" "Cenestro Foods, a subdivision of RoyaIton Industries is planning a range of homecooked meals for travelers and this is just the kind of magic we're looking for." "I'II have my attorney draw up the paperwork." "Hmm." "Now, then, we all know the reason I'm here is because of you, Speed." "I was watching last night and I have to tell you, young man, you gave me goose bumps." "I knew at once this was no mere driver I was watching." "This was an artist." "Oh...." "I imagine the phone's been ringing off the hook." "Yeah." "But Speed doesn't wanna drive for you or any other sponsors." "Is this your manager, then?" "That's our youngest, SpritIe." "Nice to meet you, youngster." "We got our eye on you, mister." "excellent." "The first thing I want to make clear is that I have no intention whatsoever of trying to get Speed away from Racer Motors." "What you have here is what teams spend years and millions of dollars trying to achieve, chemistry." "I wouldn't dare touch a thing." "well, excuse me for asking, but what do you want?" "To help." "I want to make sure you have access to whatever resources you need to continue doing exactly what you're doing." "No offense, RoyaIton, but Racer Motors has always run as an independent." "None taken." "I completely understand." "I sympathize." "Strike that." "I empathize." "Hmm." "You may think of R.I. as a huge corporate conglomerate but I will have you know I still remember working all night on a Commodore 64 in the basement of my foster parents' home." "I built R.I. from below the ground up." "So while RoyaIton Industries may look like a major sponsor to you it remains in my heart as independent to me as the first day I quit my job at GIoBoCom to start working for myself." "Now, then I've had this wonderful opportunity to meet your family." "AII I'm asking for is the chance to introduce you to mine." "I've never flown so low through the city." "special permit." "only six of them are granted a year." "Take whatever you Iike." "Thank you." "POPS:" "SpritIe!" "What?" "She said we could have some." "AII right, maybe one apiece." "Hey, look, that's the Grand Prix colosseum." "My brother's gonna win the Grand Prix someday." "No doubt in my mind, young man." "Given the right circumstances, no doubt in my mind whatsoever." "This is Gennie, our talent manager." "Ask for anything." "Her job is to make it come true." "hello, Speed." "welcome to RoyaIton." "What's this?" "To make an informed decision you'II have to understand how we take care of our drivers." "AII aboard." "SPRITLE:" "Oh, cool!" "RoyaIton Tower is the crown jewel among the properties that I control." "It functions as the corporate headquarters for the top 1 2 divisions of our parent corp." "One big industrious family." "Our vertically integrated plant is the fastest in the world from initial carbon bond to finished car in 36 hours." "How long does it take at Racer Motors?" "Mmm...." "several weeks, at Ieast." "[POPS CLEARS THRO AT]" "This kind of production facility could be at your disposal, Mr. Racer." "Hm." "Yeah." "RO YALTON:" "This is our operating theater where our patented Refusion Distributor is installed in the turbine drive." "Is that an Inner-Positive Transponder?" "We control the only transponder foundry in the world outside of Musha Motors." "Oops." "Sorry, trade secret." "As you know, a T-1 80 driver's got to be in peak physical condition." "No expense is spared to ensure that when our drivers suit up they are as perfectly tuned as the machines they are controlling." "The best drivers must be able to withstand over four G's of force in a typical race." "The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare." "[DRIVER 1 YELLING]" "RO YALTON:" "And at Team RoyaIton, we prepare our drivers for any eventuality and every possible condition." "[DRIVER 2 SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]" "I hope I didn't scare you, Speed, with how hard we push our team." "I just wanted you to see how committed we are to winning." "I get that." "Good." "Because I also want you to understand that R.I. isn't all work and no play." "[GASPS]" "That's cannonball taylor." "Stop the car." "Jack." "Jack, come here." "There's someone I'd Iike you to meet." "Speed Racer." "allow me to introduce two-time Grand Prix winner five-time WRL Champion and future hall of famer Jack "cannonball" taylor." "Oh...." "Honor to meet you." "Caught that Thunderhead replay." "Nice piece of work." "Wow." "Thanks." "There was a rumor you might be visiting." "It's pretty impressive." "only thing I cared about was that wall over there." "That's what sold me." "You want to win in this league, you're talking to the right guy." "Thanks, Jack." "Sweet!" "We treat our thoroughbreds the way they deserve to be treated." "Sweet!" "There's a full maid service, of course with personal chef and masseurs available 24/7." "Sweet!" "[GIBBERING]" "Thank you." "It should be perfect." "Try it on." "Mm-hm." "Okay." "RO YALTON:" "So, Mrs. Racer what do you think about my family?" "Impressed?" "You could say that." "Good." "Because I want you to understand the possibilities that exist for your son now." "What's wrong, Mr. Racer?" "To be honest, RoyaIton, I'm feeling more intimidated than impressed." "This kind of company scares me." "people like you have way too much money." "When someone gets that kind of money, they think that the rules everybody else plays by don't mean squat to them." "However, my sons are the most important thing I've ever done in my Iife besides marrying my best friend." "And if Speed wants us to figure out some kind of an alliance then you can bet your ass we'II be in business." "Ah." "Hubba-hubba." "Oh, honey, you look so handsome." "Yeah?" "Very sharp, Speed." "Suits you perfectly." "regardless of what happens, I want you to have it as a gift." "Thanks, Mr. RoyaIton." "So how are you feeling, Speed?" "It's very impressive." "You think that maybe there's something that could work out here?" "I guess I'd Iike to think about it, if I couId." "This isn't the kind of offer I go around making every day, son." "No, I understand that, sir." "So if I had to give you an answer now, then to be honest" "Stop right there." "You're right." "You should think about it." "I'm sure you're feeling a bit overwhelmed." "You should take a little time think about what you saw and heard here, and we'II get together early next week." "deal?" "deal." "I thought we had a deal." "I thought we were friends." "[TAEJO COUGHS]" "well, maybe where you come from, that's how you treat your friends." "But around here, we don't take too kindly to it, do we, fellas?" "[THUGS CHUCKLING]" "It hurts our feelings." "CRUNCHER:" "problem is I Iike you, Taejo." "And I've got a real soft spot in my heart for that sister of yours." "[THUGS CHUCKLING]" "And normally, under circumstances such as this we'd be pouring you a nice..." "But I think I thought of another solution." "How are my babies, huh?" "Hungry?" "Ready for seconds?" "Boys." "No!" "Don't worry, it only hurts for a few seconds, then you'II probably black out." "No, please!" "It'II be hard to drive with skeIIie hands." "TAEJO:" "No, please." "You even think about turning rat and next time it's your sister going in there!" "[ALARM WAILING]" "[PHONE RINGS]" "What?" "Someone's tailing us." "Is it him?" "It could be." "Oh, God." "It's him!" "[GUNS COCKING]" "Crush him!" "He's out front." "Got you." "Boss!" "My babies." "My babies!" "Put your finger in there." "Do it!" "[VINNY WHIMPERS]" "VINNY:" "Nice fishies, nice fishes." "No, no, no." "DRIVER:" "We can't take another hit, boss!" "VINNY:" "Aah!" "pull over." "But don't stop." "[YELLS]" "[GRUNTS]" "[GRO ANS]" "Are you hurt?" "No." "Then get up." "Thank you." "You saved my Iife." "I didn't save anything worth saving unless you get smart real fast." "You thought you could take on the cartel." "You can't." "Not without help." "I don't know what you're talking about." "You have been on Cruncher block's leash for so long maybe you forgot how it feels to stand up and be a man." "The only way you'II ever stop these people is to bring them to justice." "Justice?" "That's a commodity I don't waste my money on." "Hm." "[TIRES SCREECH]" "Get out." "I'II see you at Fuji." "You won't finish." "When you lose, if you can still dial a phone call this number." "TRIXIE:" "You're really considering signing with RoyaIton." "I just said it was tempting." "Why?" "well, they got a really good team." "cannonball taylor, Maggie manifold." "They win a Iot of majors." "And since when did winning become so important?" "It is important." "You gotta win if you wanna keep driving, and that's what I wanna do." "It's the only thing I really know how to do." "That's not true." "Come on." "I wouldn't have made it out of high school without your help." "Okay, well, that's true." "But when I'm in a T-1 80, I don't know, everything just makes sense." "So are you saying this doesn't make sense?" "Okay, this makes sense too." "Oh." "So you Iike this?" "Yeah." "This ain't so bad." "I was starting to wonder." "Wonder what?" "well, with you so busy becoming Mr. Super-Famous-Racecar-Driver I was starting to wonder if you were still interested in this." "You know I am." "Do I?" "What, Iike you forgot?" "Maybe I need a reminder." "A reminder." "Sometimes a girl could use a reminder." "You mean like a new igniter for your helicopter?" "Mm-mm." "well, how about a tire burn that spells out your name?" "Warmer." "Maybe at the end of some big race, when I pull into Victory Lane I scoop you up and kiss you, with thousands of flashbulbs going off." "would that be so terrible, Mr. Super-Famous-Racecar-Driver?" "I don't know." "Maybe we should practice." "Maybe we should." "SPRITLE:" "Oh, God, I'm gonna hurl." "SpritIe." "He did not." "Ooh, SpritIe." "You little sneak." "It wasn't my idea." "Oh, no?" "It was his." "Wait till we tell Pops." "No, don't do that." "We couldn't sleep." "We just wanted to hang out." "We didn't know you were going to In-spew-ation Point." "By the way, cootie shot." "I'm taking you home." "Wait." "Wait." "Can we stop for ice cream first?" "[BOTH GRO AN]" "RO YALTON:" "The new GRX has a supercharged Inner-Positive Transponder and will be capable of speeds in excess of 800 kilometers an hour." "If such a car were to win the Grand Prix this year one would expect the demand for transponders to increase dramatically." "One would expect." "And if a single company gained control of all the transponder foundries in the world one might expect that company to do very well for itself." "You know what I want." "I know for the Iast few years you've been trying to buy out your main rival, Tetsua Togokahn." "The question is, can we make a deal?" "deliver Togokahn at that price and the transponder foundry is yours." "Done." "Speed!" "Mr." "RoyaIton." "welcome!" "Come here." "Look at this." "Oh." "Wow." "That's what I thought." "We're still working on the R and R, but it's getting there." "Come, sit." "We can talk logos later." "Can I get you something to drink?" "Water?" "bubbly?" "A shot of rye?" "No." "I'm okay." "So I can see you've been giving some serious thought to this thing." "I have." "Yes, sir." "Good." "Means you understand we're talking about not just your future but your family's future." "My family means a Iot to me." "I know." "I can tell." "That's why this is so important, because you can help them." "AII you have to say is yes." "That's all I need to hear and I can make so many things happen for you and your family." "You ready for that?" "You ready to say yes, Speed?" "[SPRITLE WHIMPERING]" "Jackpot." "Oh, boy, oh, boy." "This isn't an easy decision for me, Mr. RoyaIton." "For my family, racing's everything." "I was tooling timing pins with Pops while I was still wearing diapers." "I mean, there's nothing more perfect than a picnic at Thunderhead." "But when my brother died, all that went away." "I can't tell you how painful that was." "It nearly killed all of us." "especially Pops." "He didn't set foot in his shop for over a year." "But one night, when I was still pretty young, I couldn't sleep and I went into the living room, and there was Pops in his beat-up robe watching some old race recordings." "[ANNOUNCERS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON TV]" "So I sat with him there watching old Ben Burns coming around the Iast turn of the 43 Prix and all of a sudden, Pops started screaming." "Go!" "SPEED:" "And then I started screaming." "As Burns and StickIeton headed for the finish we were cheering our heads off." "And the second the bIack-and-white came down we looked at each other and we realized racing's in our blood." "But for Pops it isn't just a sport." "It's way more important than that." "It's like a religion." "And in our house, the major sponsors are kind of like the devil." "I don't mean to offend you, sir, and I do appreciate your offer but after all we've been through I don't think this kind of deal's for me." "[CHUCKLING]" "You poor, naive chump." "I'II pretend I didn't hear that sickening schmaItz and I'II give you an education." "At the end, if you're smart you'II thank me and then you'II sign that contract." "[VEHICLE APPRO ACHING]" "Huh?" "Huh?" "[SPRITLE GASPS]" "Jig's up." "holy moly." "Hey." "This is Marvin, down at the landing pad." "I think we got mice again." "MAN [O VER RADIO] :" "All right." "We'll send someone over to take care of it." "Over." "Look." "There is the true spirit of the golden age of racing." "Benjamin Braddack, ReginaId White, George wheeler, Diamond Dave Tewksbury and oliver Potter." "The five most powerful men in the world at the turn of the Iast century." "For all intents and purposes, they created the modern automotive industry." "But the true stroke of their genius was the invention of the WRL the world's first racing league." "Interesting that you and your father were so moved by the 43 Prix." "One of the great finishes in the history of racing, right?" "Everyone remembers Burns and StickIeton sIugging it out." "But who remembers carl Potts?" "Driving this rebuilt Wittigan for Iodyne Industries Potts spun out in the second lap and went down as a DNF a forgettable and pathetic finish." "So bad that afterwards, Iodyne stock dropped six points." "But as Ben Burns sat guzzIing cold, fresh milk in Victory Lane a thousand cameras taking his picture Sirrus Aeronautics saw almost a 1 2-point gain which blocked PenninsuIa Power cell from being able to afford the price of a takeover." "This put joel GoIdman, the CEO of Iodyne, Inc." "in the exact position he wanted to be in." "By first buying controlling interest in his own company at a devalued price he then brokered a merger with Sirrus that sent Iodyne into the gains record book the only record book that matters." "Look out that window." "There isn't a single plane or helicopter or K-Harrier that isn't powered by Iodyne fuel cells." "That's what racing is about." "It has nothing to do with cars or drivers." "AII that matters is power and the unassailable might of money." "Whoo!" "Dude!" "Yeah!" "Oh, no!" "Woo-hoo!" "Get out of the way!" "Out of the way!" "Get out of the way!" "[IMITATES ELECTRIC GUITAR]" "[PEOPLE YELLING]" "You understand?" "Burns knew he was going to win." "It was already decided." "A week before the Prix, GoIdman and Sirrus met with other major players at the CargyIe hotel." "They met there as they had for years." "They met to negotiate the finish order of the Grand Prix." "No race is more important and no race is more controlled." "GoIdman was supposed to win, but he knew if he sold his win whatever that win might be worth was nothing compared to what could be gained." "That's why I spent $3 million on this burnt and twisted lump of metal." "Because it reminds me of what really matters." "This is the true heart of racing, boy." "This is my religion." "You don't know how often I've seen that same cow-eyed "say it isn't so" look of disbelief." "Every bumpkin who comes in from the sticks looks exactly as you do now." "I won't bother proving it to you." "You walk away from me and this deal, you'II know how true it is soon enough." "So last chance." "You ready to put away your toys and grow up?" "Are you ready to make more money in one year than your father made in his life?" "Are you ready to become a real racecar driver?" "Then sign that contract!" "[CHIM CHIM GIBBERING]" "Spearhook." "What's this?" "If that's your idea of racing, you can keep it." "[GRUNTS]" "Listen to me and listen good because I'm gonna give you one more history lesson." "You're gonna go to Fuji and try and prove everything I told you is nothing but a lie." "But no matter how well you drive, you won't win, you won't place." "I guarantee you right now, you won't even finish the race." "Speed Racer's making his move, gunning for the lead." "Ha!" "The Harbinger of Boom once again leaves his mark a trail of carnage and chaos cartwheeIing behind him!" "Oh, but the fans love it, don't they?" "They do, God help them."

"Are you Pops Racer of Racer Motors?" "Yeah, but I'm still on vacation." "You are hereby served a summons." "What?" "You are being sued for IP infringement by Janus Automakers." "No way!" "That's ridiculous." "That's for a jury to decide." "RO YALTON:" "The legitimacy of the lawsuits won't matter." "They'll be enough to discredit his company." "Whatever contracts he has, he'II lose." "Within a year, he'II be filing for bankruptcy." "After that, you and the rest of your pathetic family will be history." "Pops is right." "You are the devil." "[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]" "DOUR FACE:" "Mr. RoyaIton." "What?" "!" "Speed!" "SpritIe?" "I found these two sneaking around a restricted area." "Get this Racer trash out of my building."

"It didn't matter, I still lost." "Yeah." "Tough break." "well, good luck." "Mr. Burns, can I ask you something?" "Sure, kid." "The 43 Prix." "Did you know you were gonna win?" "You know, everybody thought that me and StickIeton hated each other." "Funny, ain't it?" "SPARKY: "Controversy surrounds Racer Motors, now embroiled in IP litigation." "And while evidence remains inconclusive whether or not Speed used an illegal device .the Fuji-HeIexicon seems destined to become another mark of shame added to the notorious Racer family legacy a legacy that has forever tainted the integrity of this--"" "Sparky." "Sorry, ma'am." "I'm gonna send that guy some Chim Chim cookies." "You'II do no such thing." "We gotta do something, Pops." "This is exactly what he said would happen if I didn't drive for him." "He's just trying to scare you." "They tried the same thing with Rex." "It's a fight they want, it's a fight they'II get." "How?" "What can we do?" "How can we fight this?" "The truth'II come out." "The truth?" "Don't be naive, Pops." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "Speed?" "Are you all right?" "I don't know." "It's gonna be okay." "We'II work this out." "I don't know, Mom." "I may have really messed things up." "How?" "By not joining RoyaIton." "Oh, don't be silly." "You never would have been happy racing for that terrible man." "Maybe that's not the point." "Maybe RoyaIton's right and racing's all about business and anyone who doesn't understand that is just a chump." "Now you listen to me, young man." "What you do behind the wheel of a racecar has nothing to do with business." "Before you could even talk, you were making noises that sounded like an engine." "We tried to take you to the park and you never wanted to get out of the car." "I Ioved that old wagon." "And you remember when Rex took you out to Thunderhead and let you drive?" "And I turned it over." "Oh, my heart starts pounding just thinking about it." "Mom!" "Yeah, you should've seen it!" "Yeah!" "Rex told me the only reason we survived was because I was wearing red socks." "I thought your father would have a heart attack when you came in with that crazy smile." "Speed, when I watch you do some of the things you do I feel like I'm watching someone paint or make music." "I go to the races to watch you make art." "And it's beautiful and inspiring and everything that art should be." "Even though there are times when I have to close my eyes." "But then there are other times when you just take my breath away." "And it's at those moments when I feel your father's chest swell and I know that he's smiling because he's pretending that he doesn't have tears in his eyes that I just go to pieces." "Why?" "Because I am so impossibly proud to be your mom." "It's gonna be okay, honey." "You'II see." "We'II work this out." "We just have to stick together and something good will happen." "You'II see."

"We've been after RoyaIton for years for dozens of capital corporate crimes including WRL fixing, but we haven't had the evidence we needed to convict him until now." "What's he doing here?" "Racer X works closely with our WRL Corporate Crimes Division helping us recruit drivers like you, Speed." "Why does he always wear that mask?" "If any of you knew his identity, you'd become targets for his enemies which include some of the most vicious fixers in the world." "What do you want with me?" "Are you familiar with the driver Taejo Togokahn?" "Of course." "For years he's been contracted by a fixer named Cruncher block." "Recently, Taejo's been forced to lose races, and he began resisting thinking that he could do it on his own." "After Fuji, he realized he needed help." "Why help him?" "Because he has a file with enough information to connect block to RoyaIton which could put both of them behind bars for the rest of their lives." "The problem is, he won't give us the file unless we help him stop the takeover of his family's company." "How?" "There's an upcoming race that Taejo believes if he can win it'II catapult Togokahn Motors into the spotlight double the cost of the buyout, which should kill it." "There aren't any more races left except the Grand Prix and we both failed to qualify." "Ahem." "There aren't any more track races." "This is a cross-country rally." "Casa Cristo." "What?"

"But, Speed, we buried Rex." "A body was buried." "Remember, it had already been badly burned in the crash." "Even if it was Rex, no one could have recognized him." "So you think he faked the crash with a different body in the driver's seat?" "Somehow the kwik-save was disconnected." "Inspector Detector suspected foul play, but nothing could be proved."

"You mean your brother?" "You first appeared two years after Rex died." "You drive just like him." "You knew I'd be here, because this is where he always used to take me." "Just tell me the truth." "You're not Rex." "No, Speed." "I'm sorry, but your brother is dead." "I'm sorry." "Don't be." "I'm sure if he was here, he'd be immensely proud of you." "For what?" "Making the same mistakes he did?" "For trying to make a difference." "From what I've read, that's all he tried to do." "And what good did it do?" "He got killed for nothing." "Racing hasn't changed and it never will." "It doesn't matter if racing never changes." "What matters is if we let racing change us." "Everyone has to find a reason to do this." "You don't climb into a T-1 80 to be a driver." "You do it because you're driven." "If you know so much, why don't you tell me why I should keep driving?" "Sorry." "That's for you to figure out." "I just hope when you do that I'm there to see it." "What you doing?" "What's it look like?" "Where you going?" "I don't know." "I just gotta get away from here."

"I said things I wish I hadn't." "Your mother usually protects me from making an ass out of myself but I was determined to do it this time, and I guess I did a pretty good job of it." "I just wanted to make sure you understood how sorry I was." "Thanks." "The truth was I couldn't have been more proud of you, son." "Not because you won, but because you stood up, you weren't afraid and you did what you thought was right." "It didn't amount to anything." "It was completely meaningless." "How could it be meaningless?" "I saw my son become a man." "I watched him act with courage and integrity and drive the pants off every other driver on that road." "This is not meaningless." "This is a reason for a father's life." "I went to Cortega because I was afraid what happened to Rex was gonna happen to you, and I just couldn't take that." "But what I realized at Cortega was I didn't lose Rex when he crashed." "I lost him here." "I let him think that a stupid motor company meant more to me than he did." "He'II never know how much I regret that mistake." "It's enough I'II never make it again." "Speed, I understand that every child has to leave home but I want you to know, that door is always open." "You can always come back." "Because I Iove you." "I Iove you, Pops." "I'm just so confused right now." "I feel like I'm caught in some kind of a tailspin and no direction makes sense." "Yeah, I know what you mean." "When Rex died, I didn't know if I wanted salt on my eggs, Iet alone keep building cars." "But then...." "You remember that night we sat together, we watched old Ben Burns and StickIeton?" "You remember that?" "That night, something just clicked." "Like a light being switched on inside of me." "After that, I never had trouble remembering how I liked my eggs." "Jeez, Pops, that's just it." "That's part of my problem." "What?" "That race the 43 Prix." "Burns and StickIeton?" "It was fixed." "RoyaIton told me the whole story." "It was all about some DNF named Potts." "They've known the winner of every Grand Prix for the past 50 years." "It's always fixed." "Pfft!" "I don't believe that."

"An invitation to compete in the 91 st annual Grand Prix." "My brother was planning to decline anyway." "But I studied the rules very carefully." "And as a member of the winning Togokahn Team if you present this invitation on the day of the race, they must allow you to compete." "Ha!" "What do you think of that, Mr. It's-AIways-Fixed?" "I-- HORUKO:" "You don't have to say anything." "I only hope you drive as you did in Casa Cristo and you wipe the smiles from their faces." "We don't have a car." "Sparky!" "SPARKY:" "No." "No." "He'II yell at me!" "Right here, Pops." "What are you doing in the kitchen?" "Same as everyone else." "I don't believe it." "You were listening the whole time?" "And I'm so glad I did." "We were so worried about you." "Horuko." "Thank you." "I would say, "Good luck Saturday," but you don't need it." "You're already very lucky to have such a family." "Come on, we got work to do." "The race is less than two days away." "How fast did RoyaIton say he could build that tin can with his machines?" "Thirty-six hours." "Then we'II do it in 32."

"RO YALTON:" "Why, you sly dog." "Sir, we have a problem." "RO YALTON:" "Excuse me." "What madness is going on here?" "Mr. RoyaIton, this is a legitimate invitation." "We have verified it." "Where did you get this?" "I won it fair and square." "This is preposterous." "He can't be allowed to race." "It's too late." "The ruling on this is clear." "Try to stop it and you'II be in blatant violation of the WRL charter leaving me no option but to shut this year's Prix down until a full investigation can be completed." "What?" "Have you any idea what that would cost?" "Are you insane?" "Try me." "Something big is going on because every race official has" "Wait, wait, an announcement is being made."
