Episode 3 - Moeru! Hayato
Burn!  Hayato
Synopsis by Avi Melman

    Naoki turns out a great time of 1:48.23 .  Hayato brings Asurada
in, and drives right past the Sugo pitstop into the Aoi pitstop.  The
Sugo team quickly roll Asurada back.  Hayato is in a daze.  Once
snapped out of it, he realizes that his hands are stuck to the
steering wheel.  He is pryed off, and carried to a chair to sit down,
while Miki and Ryoohei check Asurada.  Asuka gives him a drink. Hayato
had never experiences such strong G-Forces before.  He turned a time
of 2:14.223 .  Hayato is determined to continue, and demands another
chance.  But Kanto isn't about to let Hayato total Asurada. Hayato
insists, as another car crashes on the track.  He pleads with Kanto,
and is finally given another chance.  Miki tells Hayato not to crash
again.  Hayato takes off for the second time, determined to show up
Naoki, who has just come in from the track.  His mechanic team cheers
him: "Shinjoo Naoki, top champion driver!"  Hayato is still clumsy on
the turns.  Asuka, meanwhile mentions to prepare to start the timer.
Naoki enters the track again.  Hayato asks Asurada about braking
techniques.  On the track, Naoki approaches Hayato's rear, as Hayato
struggles with the curves.  Naoki sees his chance, and passes Hayato,
saying that the new car isn't so much to worry about.  Naoki turns on
his jet boosts.  Hayato also accelarates, and passes Naoki, whose only
reply is "Baka!"  Hayato hits the curves hard, and hits Naoki's car.
Hayato heads into a barrier, and uses a sure-fire motorcycle braking
technique.  He send Asurada into a 180 degree skid, turning Asurada
around, and stopping.  Hayato loses consciousness.

    The team checks Asurada, while a doctor examines Hayato.  He's
fine, but gets disapproval from Kanto.  They examine Hayato's braking
on the computer, and realize Hayato's excellent reflexes.  He had both
the time to think about his action AND execute it.  The team thinks
Hayato should race, and Kanto soon realizes that they're right. Hayato
enters the track again, cutting off Naoki in the process. Asurada
reminds Hayato of how he would know what to do when riding his
motorcycle: listen to the engine noise.  Naoki is gaining on Hayato.
Naoki's time on the track is 1:47.099 .  Hayato is beginning to get
the hang of racing.  He's approached by another car, and is "locked"
in on a sharp curve.  Hayato uses Asurada's air brakes to slow down
enough to make the turn, while the other car crashes from going too
fast.  Yuji is at the airport, and is watching Naoki's interview.  He
notices that Sugo Asurada isn't on the list of qualified teams (yet).
He gets very angry, grabs his tickets, and leaves.

    Meanwhile, Asuka bandages up Hayato's hand.  The Sugo Asurada team
placed 25th.  The team cheers its first victory, as Naoki grimaces at
Hayato from behind a mob of reporters.
