Hill Climb - 3

‘The Mechanic’ doesn't look so sure. Let's have a look under the bonnet, shall we? Just like the old days! Back at Mahagastota, it's practice day; and normally quiet country roads have been turned into a hoons’ heaven. Aren’t they breaking the speed limit? Fifty-six! People going very fast?! No, No! Very slow? Slow...slow! You’re doing a very good job. Very good job! – well done! We’ve got a red flag! We’ve got a red flag somewhere! When there's an accident, the red flag goes up. It's a good chance for racers to inspect the track; and for spectators to race to a safer seat... What happened? Broken axle! How did he do it? It just snapped... I'm going be racing on here tomorrow. Does that sort of thing happen often, or...? Very rare! Very rare!? Okay thanks! Back at the workshop, ‘The Mechanic’ is putting the final touches on the Standard Eight; and it seems to be nothing that a few taps of a hammer can’t fix. Ananda confidently assures me that there's very little left to do before tomorrow's race day.
