### Close History

Pinkie: It's four laps to go in Copper Canyon, California and Manny Flywheel is close to making history!

Spike: If he does he would be the FIRST racer to win his home Grand Prix on his first season as part-time racer!

Pinkie: Well as you can see in the Power Macintosh 8500 computer in our office, even though we're in Equestria's hot air balloon, (goes to the computer screen) it's now 3 to go!

Spike: And there is (goes back to the speedway) Flywheel, the part-time racer. Oh boy, there they go.

Pinkie: Boy, I love it!

Spike: Two laps remaining and Pinkie there we go.

Pinkie: Oh no! Manny has spun out and has taken out Murray Clutchburn with him!

Spike: NO! NO! NO!

Pinkie: Manny is out of the race!

N20 Cola Pitty: So sorry Manny, you were really close

Manny(sadly): Yeah, yeah I was. I am totally gutted.

Murray: Is Lapis Lazuli here? I wanna see him for Manny's interview.

Lapis: I'm here, Murray.

Murray: Then start when they say so.

Pinkie: To Lapis with Clutchburn.

Murray: Go ahead.

Lapis: Ok, if you say so. We're here with Murray Clutchburn if you saw that one on TV, so what's your feeling about that crash?

Murray: Manny was so close to winning, but he spun and I spun for no reason, maybe due to his debris.

Lapis: Debris? Too bad for Manny.

Murray: Yeah, I hope you win the 1997 Rookie of the Year award.

(NOTE: Manny Flywheel actually won the rookie award in 1998 while Lee Revkins was rookie in 1999.)

Lapis: Ok then, back to you Spike.

Spike: Tragic moment in history, I hope The King helps Manny. Spike can you hear me, King?

(King Radio)

The King: Yeah.

(On TV)

Spike: Help Manny Flywheel.

(King Radio)

The King: Coming.

(No radio, just racers talking)

The King: Manny, you will win rookie award next year.

Manny (cries): No I won't.

The King: Yes you will.

Roger: Yeah.

Luke: Yup, BUT you crashed, so I guess you're right Manny, I hope Mark Landis does that.

Mark: Surey, buddy. I like your sponsor.

Chuck: For sure.

Claude: Welp, yeah.

Stacy: Come to life with your powers, that's what I say to Claude from 1978 to 1981.

Brush: Well, of course, that's pretty much what that is for, Manny, and I hope The King gets okay.

The King: I'm okay already, Brush.

Claude: That life with powers is cool, though.

Chuck: But don't take Manny out, coach. He can still race!

(They laugh)

Manny: I'm happy now. Now why not we eat Burger King in a campfire on my pits with Pinkie and Spike and tell Arnold to reg flag this race.

Pinkie: GOOD IDEA, MANNY! Right back in a moment.

(Commercials play)

Pinkie: Ok back live with Arnold Gears having his red flag waving. Let's eat Burger King in the campfire everybody, so I'm gonna get out of the balloon.

Spike: Sure is good and pretty.

Manny: PINKIE, SPIKE THE DRAGON, YOU'RE HERE, AND THEY'RE READY!

Everyone except Pinkie and Spike: Hooray!

Pinkie and Spike: Yay!

Manny: Let's camp! Then tell Arnold to wave the yellow again after that.

Pinkie: Be right back.

(Commercials play)

Spike: Here is the green waving, attempt 1 in green/white/checker. AND THEY'RE ***OFF***! In no time, The King will win this.

Pinkie: I hope so.
