She ought to be here.

She'll be here.

Hey, good looking.

Cutting it a little close, aren't you?

I like to keep you guessing.

Two, four, five, three.

Good morning, Whitewater.

Come on buddy.

Shit. Ray, get these people off the
street, please.

Ray, we need one more lap. Just one.

Moore, I swear to you, he's not going to
stop. He's not going to stop. Just get

him off.

Everybody, get back.

Get back. Everybody, get back.

Penny?

She's with that damn kid again.

Oh, Howard.

She's been with that damn kid since the
fifth grade.

Helpless.

Thanks, Ray.

You lied

to me.

You lied to Ray. You lied to everybody
in the goddamn town.

I know we did, but we had to take a
chance so we could explain it to you

Explain what?

Show him that flyer. No, I don't want to
see any flyer, and I don't want to hear

about any goddamn race.

As far as I'm concerned, Ray can auction
off that goddamn motorcycle right now.

Ray, we did everything we could to make
it safe.

We blocked the road. We ran at dawn.

We had a red flag.

We even patched the goddamn road. We
tried to find another track, Rez, where

did. This is perfect.

It's just like the Salzburg Ring.

The what?

The track in Austria.

2 .6 miles. Lap record of 119 .11.

Crotter said it last year. The thing
is... Ray, have you heard enough? The

is, Cody just ran a 120.

Now, we're a little shorter, we got no
hairpin, but I'm telling you, Ray, he's

right up there. He could be one of the
best.

That's what we had to find out.

What do you found out, the hard way? I
warned you, Cody. I warned both of you.

don't want you dead, stuck to the
highway like Davy Thompson.

Ray, you can do anything you want. You
can lock us up. You can file charges,

Ray. You can do anything you want, but
you gotta let us run in this race.

What, in Austria?

No, at the Speedway.

All the Grand Prix riders are going to
be there. Hey, you're dreaming.

You think after pulling a stunt like
this, you can just go off to some race?

Dad, it's a one -shot deal. We're not
going to get another chance. We've been

working on this thing for a long time.

You're missing the point here.

No, I'm not missing the point. You're
missing the point.

Dad, we have built a Grand Prix racing
motorcycle, and we're ready to go now.

Dad, I need you to back me on this one.

You always shoot me down on everything.
I need you to back me on this one time.

Ray, I want you to think about the
Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville.

What? Forget it, Chris.

No, I'm serious. Everybody laughed at
them just like they're laughing at us.

Now, wait a minute. No, you wait a
minute, Ray. You see that motorcycle?

It's an American -built motorcycle. We
built it. It's not a Honda. It's not a

Samurai. It's not a Suzuki.

It's nothing but our bike. I'm telling
you, Ray, she's got the speed of a rice

burner and the heart of a Harley. And if
you help us, we could beat the hell out

of all those European teams that have
been laughing at us forever.

Ray, we need this chance.

Please.

That part about the...

Right brothers kind of moved me.

You mean the wrong brothers.

God damn it, Cody.

But you got to pay for waking me up this
morning.

Yes!

You missed a spot over there, boys.

So, when will you be getting back?

I don't know.

The race doesn't start till two, and
then we gotta load up the truck and all

that.

You wanna go?

Jenny was saying something about maybe
you'd like to, uh... What I mean to say

is that if you wanna go, it's fine by
me.

I could probably get you a pass.

I don't know, I... I got some things
coming in at the store.

Yeah.

It's no big deal, I just thought if...

You wanted to go.

You want me to go?

It's up to you.

Jenny just thought that maybe... Right.

I got an awful lot to do.

If you want to go... No, no, no. It's
okay.

Just don't get killed out there, son.

That'd be a real pain in the ass.

A little bit.

You're going to do great.

You're a winner, Cody.

What in the world makes you think that?

I don't know.

Yeah, I do know.

Remember that Carl... Oh, what's his
name?

That bully that was pushing me and Kenny
Clark around at the creek? I was about

9 or 10, remember?

I remember.

You came skidding up to the bank, riding
right up to him, and his face just

about turned white.

That was just about the best thing I
ever saw.

That was about the best thing I ever
saw, too.

It was.

It was.

It was.

Booty Gifford.

This ain't no horse race, boy.

This ain't no horse.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to the Speedway for this

afternoon's exhibition race brought to
you by the Samurai Corporation.

Check it out.

This is Claus Crotter.

He's the best.

Maybe ever.

And this Friday, it's going to be funny
cars right here at the Speedway. I'm the

scout from Samurai, Jack Davis.

Yeah, it's nice to meet you.

You know, it's a great idea, this
exhibition, right?

Meet Billy Perkins, horse of the
Speedway. Hi, Billy. Hey, find any new

prospects out there?

You must be kidding.

on to the track. We have some of the
best riders in the world attending

exhibition race.

Where else could young American riders
like regional dirt bike champion Cody

Gifford, number 25, give a chance for a
grand prix rider like Alan Bell of

Belgium, Francois Travail of France,
Lalo Giacomo of Italy, and reigning

champion Mr. Klaus Proder on his
factory.

Open your eyes.

You all right?

Questions?

Turn this thing if you want to go
faster.

Have fun.

The race marshal is

showing traditional country flags.

Get up, boy, get up.

You can't do that. Get off the turf.

Get off the turf.

Back off.

Look at that punch. It's toner through.

Don King, come find that boy up. Go,
man, go.

And get him off. Move it out on the
turf.

And Trotter way out in the lead. Flag
the basket.

Get him off the track. Trotter continues
to pull away.

As expected, Trotter is way out ahead of
the pack.

Gifford is being pulled over and is
about to be left by the champion.

What's this?

Gifford is not yielding to the track
steward.

Gifford is not in the race.

Gifford is not in the race.

God damn it, get that son of a bitch off
the track.

Get him off the track.

Is he in the race or not?

I'm sorry, Jack.

Sorry, Hal. Don't be sorry. Get a clock
on that kid. He's holding his own with

Croner.

and they head around the back stretch
and back toward the grandstand.

It's Phil Crotter on his back grip, and
the ride followed by Cody Gifford.

Gifford may not be in the race, but he
puts a chance.

It's Phil Crotter and Gifford, deck and
sack. Oh, what a race! Unbelievable!

You were an even in the race.

Kill you, you bastard.

Easy, easy, easy. You shouldn't be
allowed to race.

Are you okay?

I'm not all

right. All right, all right. He should
be arrested.

Are you hurt?

It's really good.

How are you doing, son?

You okay?

What are you doing?

I finished her. I'm going to take you in
for x -rays. No, I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

No way.

How much is it going to take to fix it?

I haven't even thought about it.

Well, I got a little money to put aside.

Thanks, Jim.

It's not even the money, man. At this
point, it's time.

The circuit starts in three weeks.

There's no way.

No way.

Uh -oh.

I'm Jack Davis.

I work with Samurai.

How you doing?

Um, this is Jenny Eastman.

How do you do? Hi. Chris Washburn.

Chris. This is my dad, Joe Gifford.

Joe.

You ran a hell of a race there, kid.

Thank you.

This is the genius right here. He's the
one that designed the motorcycle. Yeah,

that's what I heard.

Impressive. Very impressive.

I've been watching you on the dirt bikes
and, uh...

I had no idea that you could run with
the big boys like that.

Thank you.

You may have a big future in this sport,
you know. Oh, I don't have much of a

future now.

We spent all our money on this
motorcycle and we blew it up today.

I have a proposition for you.

Samurai would like to loan you one of
its bikes for the season.

You're serious?

Here's the deal.

We loan you the bike, you ride it, we
provide some technical support, whatever

you might need, and that's it.

You'll be responsible for all your own
expenses.

We, of course, get all the publicity.

Of course, you can get to keep any of
the prize money you might win. This is

the level.

Now, this is just for the season, right?

I mean, the boys could come back in the
fall and put Chris's bike back together.

Absolutely.

I think you could be on top, Cody.

I know what it takes, and you've got the
juice, kid.

Wait a minute.

Chris can be my tuner, right?

Your bike, your tuner.

I'll be at the Hilton till noon
tomorrow.

I can have the contracts delivered
overnight.

Bye, folks.

Yes! Fantastic! Grand Prix!

What? What's the matter?

It's not exactly what we've been talking
about.

Well, we don't exactly have a motorcycle
right now.

We could borrow one of their bikes, go
over to Europe, learn the ropes, go back

in a year on our own bike and kick some
ass.

I don't know.

Sounds like a great idea.

There's a lot to think about.

Like what?

There's a lot to think about. What? Come
on, what?

What color socks are we going to wear on
the airplane?

Yes!

I'm just asking if we can see the bike.
I'm going to ask. All right, all right.

Yeah, hello.

Hey, Mr. Davis, it's Cody Gifford. We
finally got here.

Good, good.

You find the hotel all right?

Yeah. Can we please see the bike? Could
you hold on for a second?

Will you please shut up?

All right. All right, I'm going to ask.
Just shut up.

Hello?

Yeah, we did, and it's great, Mr. Davis.

Uh, we were wondering if maybe we could,
um... I mean, we're pretty excited, and

we thought maybe... Now, look. What?

I'm standing here soaking wet, kid.

Can we see the bike, Mr. Davis?

What? The bike? Tonight?

We're here with Jack.

It's okay.

It's okay.

We're gonna go look at the samurai bike.

41.

42.

You're getting unnecessarily worked up.
I don't think you need to get this

worked up.

Whoa whoa samurai motorcycle.

That's it.

That's it.

That's the big one

What

do

you got there I got a lot of parts Well,
you have a lot of fun

Thank you, Cordy. Thank you very much.

The important thing with the SS is not
to rush.

You must go with the flow into the last
left, kicking it up early to get the

maximum speed on the straight.

Thank you.

On the first 180 -degree right -hander,
you have to straight -line it.

Hard on the brakes, gearing down for an
early apex.

I appreciate that.

I've been a fan of yours for a long
time.

I'm really sorry about what happened.
But the most important thing you have to

remember is to stay clear of me.

What?

Hey, wait a minute, man.

Don't touch. That's not your motorcycle.

Excuse me?

That's not your motorcycle.

How are you?

I am Fujimoto. I'm responsible here.

Yeah, well, I'm Chris Washburn, and this
is my motorcycle.

No. Yes.

This is our motorcycle. Jack Davis sent
us. This is my pass.

No. This is experimental bike.

That's your motorcycle.

Sorry.

I'm so very attached to your style.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Big time.

Big time.

Uh, Cody, I'm a little bit better.

A little bit. I think you're a little
bit impressed.

That's some champagne. Thank you, sir.
Governor.

This is not food, Cody. This is

not life -sustaining, man.

Check it out.

That's great.

Next year.

Cody.

Jack. How you doing? How you doing?
Good. Good to see you.

Hi, Chris. Hi, Jack. How you doing?
Okay. Come on over here. Somebody I'd

you to meet.

Your hero.

This is the young man I was telling you
all about.

Cody Gifford. Cody? This is Mr. Tanaka,
head of our racing division.

Glad to meet you.

And his lovely daughter, Miko.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm really looking forward to racing one
of your motorcycles, sir.

Good. You can thank Jack.

He has a great deal of faith in you.

Ah, I see Klaus has arrived.

Good luck to you on Sunday, young man.

I hope you justify Jack's faith in me.
I'll do my best, sir.

Yeah, yeah.

I hope you do.

Tanaka? He doesn't look too glad to see
you, does he?

Neither did Mr. Tanaka.

Well, I guess he's still a little upset
about me bringing Chris over here.

Why? I guess he likes his bikes tuned by
samurai tuners.

Which means that Chris had better know
what the hell he's doing or he's gone.

I mean like that.

Why'd I have to go with him then, Jack?

Hey, let me tell you something. This is
not the dirt bike circuit, okay? This is

Grand Prix.

You take a guy like... Klaus makes over
a million bucks a year.

Then you take a guy like Chris is
talking to over there, Lalo Giacomo,

nothing.

He and all the privateers, they go from
race to race like gypsies, hoping that

they can beat the factory teams.

But in the end, they're lucky if they
get out of the game alive.

You want to be in the top five?

Your only hope is to hit your first
class ride with a factory team.

That's just the way it is. That's the
reason you came over here, whether you

know it or not.

And as for Chris, well...

We just have to hope that he's going to
cut it.

Otherwise, well, let's not even think
about otherwise.

I better go over there and soothe
Klaus's ruffled feathers.

Okay.

You have a good time. Okay.

Hey, come on. I want you to meet Cody
Gifford, my driver.

Cody, you remember that picture in Cycle
Sport Magazine, the guy taking a soil

sample with his face?

François Travier. How are you? Do you
remember Giacomo?

Giacomo, how are you?

Guido, how are you?

Guido, it's good to see you again. These
guys are the privateers, man. They're

worse off than we are.

Right now. No. Yes.

No. Leave it alone.

You wait for Fujimoto in the morning.
No, I don't need no Fujimoto to show me

how to build a motorcycle. Forget it. If
they want to test me, let them test me.

Fine. Who says they're testing you?
What? Guido tells me. Guido says they

assemble the bikes new for the riders,
right? It's true. Yeah.

What the hell is that?

That's me.

I am a big recording star in Italy.

Well,

here's to the newest members of the
privateers.

Here's to the privateers.

So has the privateer ever been champion?

Well, not champion, but I mean maybe in
the top five.

The top ten?

The top fifteen?

Yours to the privateers. To the
privateers!

Jogging. He's a real fitness nut.

Good God.

I was just coming to get you.

Unfuckable.

Why don't you get dressed? Let's go for
a little ride.

What do you mean, now?

What time is it? Hey, Cody, we can wake
him up at home.

We can wake him up here.

You're damn right we can.

Cody?

It's not possible. No possible.

I thought the bike was still in the box.

It won.

This one.

What are we going to do for clothes
tomorrow?

So what did you tell your old man?

That we had some problems with the bike.

That we were heading to the next race in
Belgium.

What did he say?

How bad did you guys fuck up?

Well, at least you made a pretty good
deal on this baby. She runs all right.

Good.

It's a good car, man.

Just a crash on the road.

I can fix this.

This I can fix. This is not a problem.

I can fix this.

I don't know if I can fix this. Fix it!

All right, I'm fixing it. I can fix it.

I can fix this.

Vitale to 41 will take you to Colmar

68.

Where is this file?

41, man. Just follow. Where are we here?

That way. That way.

won't happen again what the bike sees
enough on you like that it won't happen

again you just do

it shut up i was just trying to be
sensitive

I have to fix motorcycle.

You help me put it in the truck, please.

What?

I have to fix motorcycle.

You come and help me.

Oh, wait a minute. It's my motorcycle,
man. I'm the tuner.

No, it's factory bike, and Mr. Davis
wants it running good.

Jack sent you?

I don't care if God sent him, Cody. It's
my motorcycle. I'm the tuner. Yes, and

you blow it up once already.

Well, who the hell do you think you are?

Sit down.

Cody, I don't want him messing with the
motorcycle. I made a promise to you.

I know, but he's been working on these
things for years.

I don't want him touching the bike and
don't do this to me.

Do what?

Cody, if you don't send him out of here,
everyone's going to know he set the

bike.

I need this shot to show those guys I
can set the hell out of that bike.

Elmo, you still haven't figured out why
the bike seized.

Why don't you give this guy a chance?
Just pick his brain a little bit.

Bullshit. Bullshit?

The goddamn bike blew up, Chris.

And I didn't even push it that hard.

All I'm saying is, while you're getting
used to this thing, we need a bike we

can race with now. Otherwise, we're both
screwed. We might as well go home.

Is this the start of it? The start of
what?

What am I supposed to tell them?

Am I supposed to say, hey, thanks for
the motorcycle and for letting us blow

up? And thanks for the mechanic, too?

But my buddy Chris here, he's going to
have it down any day now? He's not the

mechanic. I'm the mechanic.

That's right.

And I'm the rider.

I'm the one that gets killed out there.

Oh,

my

God.

You okay?

So is a good mechanic.

Good morning, this is Clive Horton for
Eurosport Radio Network, reporting from

Spa on Grand Prix Day. It's a typical
Belgium summer day here, overcast and

damp. with some prospects of sunshine
later on. As usual, track conditions

play a major role in today's event.

Riders and their tuners are making
adjustments before testing the

their warm -up lap, hoping to qualify
for this afternoon's 500cc Grand Prix

race.

I think it's better if it's up high.
There's a bit of a spring going up the

hill.

Good luck! Go!

A lap record.

He broke the track record on a
qualifying run. Here are the lap times.

Bell, 247 .6.

Mayorkas, 247 .1. And Cody Gifford with
a new lap record, 246 .8.

Running too rich, I'm telling you, man.

I do not think so. Kyle, the barometer's
rising like a dick in a whorehouse.

We've got to lean it down.

See?

You're right.

I know.

Let's use that smaller main jet.

Past the pit, heading up far, famous
first corner.

The riders try to break for the lead,
but it's Klaus Kroeder moving into the

lead, followed by Stefan Benes, Alan
Bell, Christian Saran, and a tight back.

Klaus Kroeder has made it out of turn
two. It's Kroeder trying to increase his

lead, followed by three riders and the
changing back. Moving out of turn three

and onto the back side of the
racecourse, Kroeder...

Cody Gifford on number 51 has moved into
fourth place, behind Bennett, Bell,

Monty, and Klaus Schroeder.

The split times are very bad for these
damn questions.

As they get into the chain, the riders
end up awkwardly hoping not to slide on

this slick brake track.

As Gifford chases the leaders past the
far grandstand, Schroeder continues to

increase his speed.

It's still Schroeder, Bennett, Bell,
Monty, Hoyt, and Cody Gifford making a

show in his first Grand Prix.

Come on, Cody, come on!

Number 51, Cody Gifford, is putting on
quite a show.

as they're approaching the source for
the last time as their race marshal goes

for checkered flag.

It's Croner, yes!

Croner wins the Belgium Grand Prix.

He's followed by Bennett, Ben Larson,
and surprisingly, Cody Gifford in fourth

place.

Just a minute.

Jenny?

Jenny, Cody's on the line.

Hi, Cody.

Yeah, Jenny.

How you doing? I miss you. I love you.
Why aren't you over here with me?

I wish I was.

Sounds like you're having a party over
there.

Yeah, we are.

I tried to get...

Cody,

I'm so proud of you.

Listen, I want you to start packing.

Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can.

You're magnificent.

Cody, are you there?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, listen, I'll call you tomorrow,
okay?

Tell your parents I said hello.

I love you.

How you doing? I was looking all over
for you. I just had Jenny on the phone.

What?

I heard that Fudge is going to be tuning
the bike in Le Mans too, Cody.

No.

No, he's going to be helping you tune
the bike. I told him that. I made it

clear to him.

Yo, told who that, man? Who'd you tell
that to? I told Jack.

He came over before we left.

Why don't you tell me these things?

And it's only temporary.

And Fujimoto's an okay guy, isn't he?

I missed you. I missed you.

Where's Chris?

Chris is in Yugoslavia.

His first time to tune the bike alone.

How's he doing? He's doing fine. He's a
little touchy.

He thinks he should be calling all the
shots and just hasn't quite worked out

that way.

What do you mean?

Well, it's a new bike. It's not like our
bike at home.

And he just doesn't quite have it down
yet. So in the meantime, Samurai has put

on one of their tuners.

Everything okay between you guys?

Everything's fine.

Don't worry.

Come on, we've got a lot of stuff to
see.

Thank you. Thank you.

to find someone to call my own it must
have been our

destiny that brought you here to me

will sign him.

I don't agree.

I think your shield is right.

Do it now.

I do not understand your attitude, Jack.

You've been pushing this boy for a long
time.

I just don't see why we have to sign him
onto the team now.

He's riding our bike.

We're getting all the publicity. Too
much publicity.

You must remember who is our champion.

Who can forget?

Klaus is the best in the world, and he
shows it with every race.

And two fourths in a row hardly make
Cody a threat.

You seem to put this boy's interest over
the good of the team.

Now you wait just a goddamn minute.

Sit down, Jack.

No one questions your loyalty, but we
have invested a great deal of money in

marketing of Klaus this year. It would
be very unfortunate for this company.

If someone else took the spotlight.

I don't know if he'll go for it.

He's a strong -willed kid.

Yes, but you are his friend. He trusts
you.

And what about the RC500?

Well, that bike's not ready yet.

How will we know unless we test it under
race conditions?

I think putting Cody on the Aussie is an
excellent idea.

Are we going for a record or what? It's
for you.

It's Jack Davis.

Hello? Cody.

Tanaka wants to see you right away.

Why? What does he want to talk to me
about?

No, I'm not sure.

Hey, maybe he wants to cut a better
deal.

Maybe it's endorsements. All I know is
he wants to meet you at the track office

tomorrow.

Oh, and I... I wouldn't let this anybody
else, okay? Especially Chris.

Why not?

Well, you know, he has a tendency to
kind of overreact sometimes before he

the full story.

You know, Chris.

Anyway, Tanaka just wants it to be
between the three of us. All right?

Okay.

Okay.

Tanaka wants to meet with me tomorrow.

Unbelievable.

Who's he?

He's the head of the Samurai Racing
Division.

Jack thinks he might want to make me a
better deal.

Or do some ads or something.

You mean like television ads or what?

I don't know.

God,

you guys are doing great over here.

Just like we dreamed.

Listen, Jack doesn't want me to, uh...

He wants me to keep it under my hat for
now, all right?

What do you mean?

It's no big deal. It's just that Chris
has been, uh... Jack feels that he

overreacts to everything.

Like what?

Like Fujimoto, the samurai tuna working
on the bike.

Or the press talking to me.

Don't they want to talk to Chris, too?

No.

They want to talk to me.

I'm the writer.

It's just the way it is.

Anyway, don't say anything for now,
alright?

Just until I find out what's going on.

Alright?

Yeah? Yeah.

You won't regret this, Jack.

Are you sure this is the right place?

Yeah. Huh?

There he is.

Don't get the wrong idea. That was
Tanaka's daughter.

Hello. So what's going on, Cody? Excuse
me?

Can we have a bottle of champagne?

Your best?

What's the deal, Gifford?

We're celebrating.

Celebrating what?

You're not going to believe it.

They've asked me to join the team.

Really?

They've asked me to join the goddamn
team.

Crotter's team?

It's not Crotter's team. It's the
factory team. No, no, no, no, no. It's

Crotter's team, man.

Crotter's team.

What'd you tell him?

I was so blown away by the whole thing,
I didn't say much of anything.

I told him I'd think about it if you
could stay on as a tuner.

A tuner? Really?

You can't be the only tuner. We'd be
joining their team with their bikes and

their money. I don't want anything to do
with that team. Nothing. Do you?

Do you?

You telling me that you want to ride
with Kroger now?

I don't like Kroger any better than you
do.

But we're talking about the number one
team in the world. The big time.

This is what we've been dreaming about.

Bullshit. Chris.

No, thank you.

Let me ask you something. Do you
remember why we came out here in the

place? Do you remember what our dream
was, man? Huh?

We were going to make some money here,
go back home, come back, and kick

Kroger's ass with our bike.

Do you remember that at all?

Why don't you just wake the fuck up?

It's never going to happen that way.

Says who?

Ask Jack.

Jack works for Samurai, man. What do you
expect him to say? All right, ask

Francois. Ask Giacomo.

Do you think those guys got a shot? You
think they got an honest -to -God shot?

I don't believe this.

Did you know about this?

I'm asking you.

No, Cody, they don't have a shot. No
way, man. Not if you're writing

interference for Crowder. No.

I'm not riding interference for anybody.

I'm going to beat Crotter. Cody, man,
they have the number one rider in the

world, man, in the world.

They got advertisements, endorsements,
the whole works, man, everything. You

think they're going to let you just go
right out there and beat Crotter?

How are they going to stop me?

Now, do me a favor, man, and you let me
know before you sign with those assholes

so I can have my bags packed.

I didn't say I was going to sign with
them.

You didn't have to.

Go after him. You go after him. I am so
sick of his shit.

You know who got him over here in the
first place? I did.

I thought he's the one that got you
here, Cody. He's the one that built your

bike.

Whose side are you on?

Your side?

It sure as hell doesn't sound that way
to me.

Well, maybe I think that you owe him
some consideration in the decision.

Do you think that I should pass this up?
Do you think I should pass this

opportunity up?

I don't know.

Maybe you should just think about it. I
mean, maybe they're trying to stop you

from winning. I mean, you've got the
bike for the season.

Maybe you don't need them. You know, I
don't think you know what you're talking

about, so why don't you just... Shut up?

Hey, food.

How you doing?

I hear there's some changes at the
Samurai team.

I was told only pick up this bag and get
it ready.

RZ500, huh?

Yeah. For Cody.

You mean if he signs?

Fucking son of a bitch!

I want half the money, you can have the
car, and that's it.

I want to talk about it, Chris.

There's nothing to talk about. You're
riding with Croter now.

I'm not riding with Croter.

We're going to beat Croter.

I want you there with me.

With what?

The errand boy?

Did you get the tuner's job for me,
Cody?

Just out of curiosity, were you able to
get that one?

It's going to happen. That can still
happen.

Right. Well, then I'll be your assistant
tuner, maybe get you new spark plugs.

No, thank you.

It's like those guys said, I'm your best
friend. You wouldn't sign without me,

right? This is bullshit, Chris.

This can be our shot.

What do you want?

You could have told me.

I wanted to tell you. But the way you've
been acting lately, I can't even

fucking talk to you anymore.

Cody, we were friends, man. Best
friends.

We were everything, everything.

Best friends.

This was supposed to be our shot, man.

Ours. Yours and mine. Our fucking shot.

We were so hot.

Find that contract.

You didn't even find out what bike you
were riding.

What's that supposed to mean? What
motorcycle are you riding, Cody? What

motorcycle? You're riding the RZ500, the
piece of shit they were sending out of

here when we got here.

You're fucking lying. I am not lying.
You're fucking lying. I'm not lying,

you big man. You big man. Go look at it.
Get out of here.

Get, get.

to me, Jack, didn't you?

You suckered me.

Come on, leave me alone, kid.

You went into this thing with your eyes
wide open. You didn't tell me about the

goddamn bike.

You didn't ask about the goddamn bike.
Now get out of here.

You sold me out, you son of a bitch.

You sold me out.

Yeah, well, then I guess that makes two
of us.

Where's Chris?

Huh? Where's Jenny?

for Yugoslav Airlines, flight 446 for
Rome, Munich and New York.

See you on the track, asshole.

Stanley Charles reporting for Motor
Journal with the latest news on the

Grand Prix circuit.

Cody Gifford on number 42 has been
putting on quite a show since signing on

the Samurai team just three weeks ago.

finishing a strong third to teammate
Klaus Kröter.

Gifford on Samurai's new RZ500 is
ripping up the track, putting pressure

Klaus Kröter as the two vie for valuable
Grand Prix points.

Kröter, the current point leader,
continues his relentless attempt to win

third consecutive World Championship.

The pressure has been intense between
these two samurai teammates.

One has to wonder how long Gifford can
keep up this blistering pace.

He is pushing both the limits of himself
and his motorcycle, proving that he has

no fear of the reigning world champion.

Never before have I seen such fierce
competition between two team members.

I leave you with this question.

Are these two really on the same team?

Come on in, Chris.

Set it right here. There you go.

I was real sorry to hear about you guys
over there, Chris.

Would you talk to Joe?

No. Joe's not around. I haven't seen him
in days.

I was talking to Ray.

I guess Cody called him.

I was sorry to hear about it.

I hope you guys get it back together.

Yeah. Thank you. Thanks.

Joe? It's cold in here.

Anybody home?

What did Ray say?

Ray said that he hasn't seen Joe, but I
think he's lying. I think he knows

something.

Like what?

Like maybe Joe's sick again?

Maybe we ought to call Cody.

Maybe Cody ought to call Ive.

Yes, the great Klaus Kreuter receiving
the applause of his fans.

Salzburg Ring, 35 laps, world record, 43
minutes, 0 .09 seconds, set by Klaus

Kreuter on a factory samurai.

Remember, don't push it so hard this
time. And don't push yourself so hard.

You are too good to ride like a madman.

Don't take yourself this way. Okay?

Thank you.

As expected, number 18, Kreuter, leads
through the first lap, followed by 51,

Cody Giblet, and 14, Lauro Giacomo.

It continues to be Crota, Gifford, and
Lalo Giacomo.

I don't feel it! I don't feel it!

He's all right. He was banged up, but
he's going to be all right.

What about Giacomo?

They're not saying.

He was still being operated on.

I don't think it's good.

They say he might be paralyzed.

Oh, no.

Everybody's blaming Cody.

The press, Samurai, everybody.

Was it his fault?

He told Fudge that Crowder low -sighted
him.

I think he's taking it real hard.

I think he's coming home.

When?

I don't know, but soon.

Does he know about Joe?

I talked to Ray. He said he was going to
call and tell him tomorrow after the

race.

Cody! Ray, what the hell are you doing
camped out here?

Oh, what's up with my old man?

Joe, he, uh... What's the matter, Ray?

We've been trying to reach you for three
days, Cody.

Your dad died Friday night.

Oh boy.

That was beautiful, boys and girls.

I'm sure your Uncle Joe liked it.

Now, sure all you know,

Pat and Barney here made this plaque.

I'll just read it here.

May the waters of this river cool and
soothe the gentle spirits of Joe and

Gifford. They shall be missed.

I would like to say something else here.

I knew Joe Gifford for a long time.

And all that time, I never saw him
prouder of his boy than he was during

last few months.

It gave him something he never had
before.

Made him walk a little taller.

And, uh, I just... wouldn't say that.

Now, boys, if you're ready...

Get the shit out of me.

Where you been?

Get caught in that dorm?

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to make sure you were
still alive.

You look great.

How long are you planning on staying up
here?

I don't know.

I'm really sorry, Chris.

About everything.

Me too.

I was thinking... I

was wondering what your plans are. What
are you going to do?

I'm going to reopen the bait shop.

It wasn't your fault, man. Everybody
knows that.

Cody, I know you went down hard.

But don't start talking to me about
selling salmon eggs and tent hooks,

that's bullshit.

It's not bullshit.

It's bullshit, man. It's total bullshit.

What about your old man? What about what
Ray said, how he was?

My old man is dead, and if I hadn't been
so fucking busy over there being a big

shot... Wait a minute, man. Wait a
minute.

If I had just checked on him when he
didn't call... You know why I didn't

you? That's enough, Chris.

He wanted you to keep racing, Cody.

He was proud as hell of you.

He had no idea what was going on over
there. He thought everything was great.

Think about that.

Think about it.

You want to say goodbye to Jenny?

Where's she going?

Going back to school. She wanted to get
there early, so she's leaving tomorrow.

How's she doing?

She's doing great, man, just like
everyone else since things all went to

I, uh, been working on the bike a little
bit.

I gotta run it.

I even scrounged up enough money for a
new paint job. You should come take a

look at it.

Get some free time.

Cody, you're a born racer.

And you're still a racer as far as I'm
concerned.

I'll see you around.

Jenny, things usually work out for the
best. Now, I know it's easy to say that,

but it's true.

I know, Mom.

Bye. Bye.

Bye, Dad.

Jenny?

How you doing, Cody?

Okay, Mr. Reese.

We're sorry to hear about your father,
Cody.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Call us when you get in.

Okay.

Bye.

I didn't know you were leaving until
last night.

I couldn't get the damn truck started.

Have you been?

I've been all right.

I, uh, I would have spoke to you at your
dad's service, but, uh, well, I just

didn't know how you felt.

Jenny, I just wanted to say that I'm
sorry about everything that happened

there.

As far as I'm concerned, it was just all
a waste.

It was one big mistake.

I miss you, Jenny.

Let's go, folks.

Get other people down the line.

Maybe you can write me.

I'll call you.

Yeah, call me.

Take care of yourself, Jenny.

Security is on command.

You call it love, but I don't know.

I want to rock and I want to roll.

You don't think he's going after her.

I don't know what that means that much
to

me.

How could it be?

My heart.

Hey, Chris, you got a minute?

Sure, come on in.

What have you been doing?

I'm closing up the shop.

What are you doing?

I've been buying plane tickets.

The French Grand Prix is in a week. I'm
ready to race. Are you ready to go, and

is that bike ready to go?

Yeah, it's ready to go. Good, good.

I saved some of that blood money from
Europe.

And I sold my dad's bait shop. I got a
down payment. I mean, I can't be selling

salmon eggs and number 10 hooks for the
rest of my life, right?

That's right.

Yeah.

Well, are you going to show her to us or
what, Chris?

Wow.

God, she's beautiful.

beautiful.

Thanks, man.

All right, let's not get all mushy here.
You know, if this bike's gonna be ready

to go in a week, there's a lot of work
needs to be done. I'm gonna need some

help. And I think I know just the guy.

Fudge? Fudge.

And you, promise me something.

Anything.

You kick Klaus Kroeder's ass.

This is John Lawler and the Eurosport
Radio Network reporting to you from Paul

Ricard in the beautiful provinces of
France on Grand Prix Day. A capacity

is anticipated on this blistering hot
summer afternoon.

Record temperatures are expected,
causing the track conditions to be a

today's Grand Prix.

What? I just wanted to let you know the
kid is back.

Gipper?

On what?

All he said was, it's American -built.

Attention. Please welcome back Lalo
Jackman in his first appearance as the

president of the SOAP program.

Pray you don't start singing.

I'll get you anything ready, Greedo.

All of it? Good.

Look,

your tire temp's about 250.

That's blistered temp. I think we should
go to hard.

Mount the hard ones. Yeah?

You all right?

I'm all right.

Good. What do you do with those pads?

No, you don't need it, Cody. Just get it
tightened up. Forget about it.

Give me the pads.

All right.

All right.

Cody. Hi, Jenny. Hi.

Look, I want you to know I'm sorry about
your father.

And I'm sorry about what happened over
here.

Now, you run a good race.

Use your head.

Okay? Okay, Jenny.

Well, this is it.

I love you.

Mesdames et messieurs, bonjour. Nous
sommes heureux de vous accueillir

'hui au Grand Prix 500.

You have fun out there!

And as expected, Klaus Krotor, number
18, gets a good jump.

At the beginning of lap two, as
expected, Klaus Krota has pulled ahead

leading the pack.

It's Wayne Gardner currently in second
place, followed by Christian Theran.

And there's Cody Gifford in 13th place,
making his return to the Grand Prix

circuit.

What do you think, Riz? Can he do it?

I think so, Jack. Stick with me. I think
he just might do it.

You know, I'm into medical.

is the ticket flag.

The crowd waits to see who will lead out
to the final turn.

Will it be Kota or Dippin?

But wait, there is white smoke from
either 18 or 51.

Damn it, it's over, David. God damn it.

Get off it. What the hell is he doing?
