"Stay close you two," Phoenix said as she kept the twins in front of her. "We'll get to her. We don't want to lose you in the crowds."

Surprisingly, the twins listened and stayed close until they got within five feet of Ebony, who smiled and nuzzled them when they rushed up to her, squealing in delight.
"Mommy! Mommy! We saw dirt race!" shouted Krill.
"Oh, did you?" Ebony asked, "How'd you like it?"
"It was fun!" said Maven.
She looked up at Boost and Phoenix as they approached. "I'm willing to bet something interesting happened at this dirt race."

"It did," Phoenix grinned. "Vince decided to take a whack at dirt racing."

"And he had a lovely visit with the cactus patch," added Boost.
"Oh, that would've been a sight to see," smiled Ebony.

"And then he had to go to the dragstrip," Phoenix said. "He had a rematch against Strip's cousin. You should have seen his face when he heard that." She fought to keep back a laugh.

"I heard about that," replied Ebony, "I'm taking time off from my shift to go and watch."

"And I think we know whos gonna win this time," Phoenix grinned. "He hasn't had a chance to be at the dragstrip this morning."

"My money's on Sybil," said Ebony, "I heard she's been wanting this since she spun out last time."

Darcy and Johnny caught up to Ebony and Phoenix as they were talking. They wanted to see how this played out.
Sybil waited for that final click that told her it was time to pour it on. As soon as she heard that, and the sound cue from her crew chief, she was off.

"Mommy," Krill poked Ebony's fender with a little tire.
"Yes, hon?" asked Ebony, looking down at her son.
"Race start," the little Viper boy pointed at the dragstrip where Sybil just took off.

Sybil lunged down her lane, intent on keeping her course true. As long as her rival stayed in his, she didn't care what he did until the results were announced at the end. She just gave it everything she had to spare, which was still a lot despite her advancing age.

Vince took off down his lane, all focusing on his timing as he shifted. The Road Runner growled and glared at Sybil but stayed in his lane no matter how much that he just wanted to bump her off.

From the sidelines, Ebony watched closely, her eyes narrowed in concentration and ready to catch any slight movement that Vince might make on Sybil. Her antenna-cam was out and recording everything.

Finally, Sybil crossed the finish and started to decelerate. Her blindness put her in a void where she had no idea what was official until the announcer spoke.

Vince slowed to a stop and turned to the board to see the official times.
