Never got one of these on a first date!

7 p.m. I'm out side The Lap Circuit waiting Olivia,when I see her walking towards me in a one piece pantsuit, kind of like what racing drivers wear. As she gets closer, I see that it is a flameproof racing suit, with names of local sponsors all over it. What the hell have I gotten myself into?! Now her comment 'Mama Speed Demon' makes sense.

"Max?" she hesitantly asks, I shake my head yes. She steps back, arms out at her side, and spins around "If you want to call off the bet, I'll understand!"

"I may not have the outfit but according to the local police I have a lead foot, even have the tickets to prove it!" We both burst out laughing. Taking her hand I escort her inside where I pay for a five lap race. She's greeted by all the staff, clearly she's been here many times before. She doesn't even have to pay. So she's definitely not kidding about being 'Mama Speed Demon'.

She's already geared up so it's only me who has to waste time doing so. We attend the briefing sessions that's mandatory for all participants.

Then they turn us loose on the track, we get one lap as a warm-up session before taking to the starting line. Side by side, a track official 20 ft down the track on an overhead seat. The green flag is in his hand, we rev our engines in anticipation then he waves us to go. Somehow my lead foot makes contact with the gas pedal and I'm out in the lead by the first corner. From there its just me defending against her superior tactics she manages to get the lead on the fourth lap. Going into the fifth and final lap I manage to pull up beside her just as we come into other racers, she block behind a slowpoke and I manage to speed past them on the outside. With one turn to go I see the track official grab the checkered flag. Sophia surges up to me, we're side by side coming out of the last turn.

She drifts wide coming into contact with my back right tire, we collide, then all is black.

Coming too in the back of an ambulance, Olivia is smiling down at me apologizing for the accident. The paramedic tries to get her out of the back so we can leave, I black out again. This time when I come too it's with a cast from my right palm to the half way point of my forearm in the local hospital emergency ward. The intern at the end of the bed with my chart, looks up "Oh you're awake, great! Well the good news there's no major damage just a broken wrist, eight weeks in a cast and you'll be good as new."

"Okay! when can I go?" The best response."As soon as I have the paperwork back to the discharge desk!" He clicks his pen closed "Which should be in a few seconds since that's where I was about to go!"
He leaves me to get my shirt back on, then I go out to the nurse's station. Back in the waiting room I see Olivia, she spots me races over.

"Max I'm so sorry, I never meant to **** you off the track!" She's near to tears.

"Relax Olivia, I have a memento of our first date that I will never forget! Drawing her in for a hug "Especially for the next eight weeks! Anyway, who won the race?"

"I was disqualified for forcing you off the track, so you're the winner!"

"Well then up for dinner?"
