Episode 10 - WORLD GRAND PRIX Kaisai 
             WORLD GRAND PRIX Opening

   Sunrise at the Grand Canyon, and Asuka is testing the road temperature.
Buihatch isn't helping, but he hears Asurada, as they pass by.  Asuka
reports to Kanto that Asurada just passed their checkpoint.  Kanto is in
the trailer, monitoring Hayato's progress.  Hayato is enjoying the course.
Maki checks in as Asurada passes.  Kanto tells Hayato that around the corner
is a near-360 degree turn that causes many racers trouble.  Hayato tells 
Asurada to remember it, but gets scolded by Kanto, who says that since Hayato
is the driver, HE should remember it.  Hayato passes Miki, who clocks him in.
For dinner, they go to an American restaurant (which looks a lot like a Black
Angus).  Hayato is enjoying his steak dinner.  They talk about hopes for the
race.  Maki then notices that Asuka hasn't finished her steak.  She explains
that she doesn't want to get fat.  

    "May I have some?"

   Maki takes a piece of Asuka's steak, places it between two slices of bread,
and then "digs in".  He explains that he has to feed his mind so he can work
on the computer.  Ryoohei is in his hospital room, watching the CyberFormula
preview on TV.  Ryoohei is angry because Hayato isn't mentioned.  However, 
they showed Shinjyo, and someone named Knight Shumaha.  Shumaha is 
looking through his racing guide book, and notices Hayato in it.  When asked,
he says it's nothing, but when he sees the Sugo trailer outside in the
restaurant parking lot, he asks his trailer driver to stop.  He steps out of
the trailer, walks into the restaurant, sits down, and orders coffee.  Asuka
wants to go to Disneyland.  They then hear some drunk men in the other booth
cheering for Jackie Gudelian.  Asuka says Hayato's feeling "the pressure".
Shumaha notices Asuka and Hayato as they leave. 

   Back at the track, Hayato is jumping rope, as Asuka walks in.  Buihatch is
enjoying the show, as Asuka sits down for a drink, and looks at her necklace
with her brother's picture in it.  Asuka notices Shumaha behind some boxes,
but when Hayato looks, he was gone.  Hayato thinks that he's the guy after
Asurada.  As they search for Shumaha, they run into Shinjyo, and then
Ohtomo, who is lifting weights.  Miki is finished checking under Asurada's
chassy.  Hayato asks Kanto why everyone is after Asurada, and asked if they
were after his father, who built Asurada, also.  Kanto answers yes, but says
that his parents are safe.  The phone rings, and Hayato answers a call for him.

   "Is this Hayato?"
   "Yes.  Who is this?"
   "For your father's sake, you have to become World Champion."
   "Me?  Who is this?"
   "Good luck."

   The caller hangs up.  It was Shumaha.  An air show accompanies the 
World GPX opening.  Hayato gets ready to rally for position in the race.
Ryoohei limps into the pit, wishing Hayato luck, and giving Hayato an extra
boost of confidence.  Meanwhile, Shumaha prepares to time.  As Hayato
starts his lap, Shumaha is right behind him.  The Sugo crew check the
qualifyng times.  Hayato's making good time as he passes the first timer
checkpoint.  Hayato is feeling extra competitive, with Shumaha behind
him.  Hayato placed in third position.  Then they notice that Shumaha
had knocked Hayato into fourth, by taking the third position.  Hayato is
still happy, and does a handstand.  Then Shumaha confronts him.

   "The way you're racing, the other racers will 'flatten' you."
   "Who are you?"
   "If you're taking it so lightly, I guess you've already decided how 
    you'll do in the race."
   "Mind your own business!  Who does he think he is, acting so big?"

   Asuka walks up to Hayato.

   "He was the one who was looking at our transporter yesterday.  That's
    Knight Shumaha."

   Asuka then tells Hayato that they're having steak again that night.
Hayato forgets about Shumaha, since steak is what's on his mind.
