The sun burned down on the dry earth, making the air flicker, distorting the
shapes of almost two dozen race cars lined up at the abandoned road stop. It
was only the end of April but not far from Death Valley, the temperatures
already reached unbearable heights in the afternoon. I killed the engine of
my yellow BMW M4 and got out. Sweat almost instantly broke out on my
skin, making my white tee stick to my skin. I was familiar with heatwaves,
having grown up in Las Vegas, but the unmoving air in this part of the
country still often made me breathless. The heat wreaked havoc on the race
cars and drivers all the same, which was why we chose the area for our
qualifications.
Many familiar faces nodded at me through the windows of their cars,
staying in the cool shelter the indoors provided. Some of them never got
farther than the qualifications, but others displayed serious talent. My steps
faltered briefly, my gaze magically drawn to a streak of flaming red. For a
moment I was sure this was a fata morgana. Slowly, more and more of the
red streak of color took shape. A long mane of red hair framing a pale face.
Her red lips, the color of dried blood, curved into a smile around the
cigarette dangling from her mouth. The smile wasn’t flirty or particularly
friendly. Challenge lay in her eyes. It was too soon for pit girls and groupies
—they mostly stuck to the final races or swarmed around the winners of the
qualification races after the finish line—and even if it weren’t, I’d have
known she wasn’t one of those girls. The way she perched on the hood of a
neon-green Toyota Supra told me it was her car and she’d be racing today.
Women rarely made the cut into the finals. My brother Remo thought they
lacked ruthlessness and ambition, but they were probably only more
sensible than us men. With this girl, I had a feeling she might surprise us.
I dragged my eyes away from the redhead and moved toward the gas
station.
A generator spluttered beside the run-down shop, powering a small AC
unit inside the decrepit building. I entered our makeshift headquarter, where
Crank was already going over the registration sheets piling up on the desk.
The heat was marginally more bearable inside but the small AC unit didn’t
stand a chance against the almost hundred degrees blasting down on us. The
broken gas station window certainly wasn’t helping either.
“Any new arrivals?” I asked, shaking Crank’s outstretched hand. I knew
about at least one, and I was awfully curious about her.
“Three,” Crank said. “A girl and her brother. Plus another guy with a
big ego.”
