Race Day

As I wait my turn in line Overwhelming Excitement Screams through my body, Adrenaline bulges my veins to the point they might explode The smell of burnt rubber lingers everywhere Pull up to the line I push the start button Feel the car begin to rumble So much power under the hood My foot on the brake and the gas Simultaneously Watch the lights, nervously My hands wet with sweat as I grip the wheel tightly I see RED... My right foot stomps the pedal to the floor My body is pushed full-force by gravity into the buckled seat The rumble of the motor blasts my ears Spectators are mere dots passing by so fast My heart leaps out of my chest My FLIGHT is over...in a mere 7 seconds
