A pile of rocks blocks the roadway. Speed uses the jacks to jump over them, but goes into a spin upon landing. He uses the belted tires to get out of the muck he's spun into. Then he goes on down the road tearing off pieces of guardrail. According to the radio in the Shooting Star, the city is in the middle of a low low pressure area which is bringing heavy rains and high winds.
Speed is barely able to keep the Mach Five from skidding into disaster.
Just before intermission, a ship breaks through the breakwater and a disembodied hand cuts a rope which sends a pile of logs down on Speed. Back to the story, Speed is knocked out in the accident and Racer X takes him to his home. As Speed sleeps, Racer X reveals his identity for the benefit of the audience. He retells the story of his running away. It's in black and white to show us that this occured some time ago.
