### Axon Crash (Highlights)

Ken: As you might know, a huge crash happened on lap 123 of the race, of the 22 racers, a crash happened involving about 8 of those racers

Sam: 18 year old Jack Edwards started releasing a trail of smoke from his exhausts presumably of an engine problem, the smoke completely blinded two racers behind him, 19 years olds Johnny Blamer and Katie Clutchen, Blamer slowed down significantly which caused Michael Cartrip, a 19 year old (built in 1969) to rear end Blamer, causing him to be damaged, after that, 17 year old Robert Axon, who is the second youngest on the track with only Winford Rutherford born June 30th younger had hit a debris which punctured a tire and caused him to steer left at insane speeds, he hit the wall so hard it is thought the impact may have been about 50 G

Ken: Two more 17 year old teens Tyler Rutherford and Jake Reverick punctured tires on debris belonging to Axon, Blamer and Axon have been hospitalized, While Tank Coat's (yes some piston cup sponsors are there in CARCA and the Juniors) Blamer is said to recover after a night's rest, Train Oil's Robert Axon is critical with massive internal injuries, Another 17 year old, Liam Driver, was also in the wreck, but along with Rutherford and Reverick, managed to keep racing

Sam: If Axon dies, he will be the 8th racer in the 1980's to die compared two only two in the 1970's, Safety HAS to improve, Let's go to Kylie Daytona with Jack Edwards

Kylie: I'm with him right now, what's the matter on him

Jack: I started to release a trail of smoke because magnet face Bob Roofalo bumped me by accident, and he caused him to die, yes, I think he's gonna die, then 30 seconds later I started the trail and Blamer and Clutchen spun, Blamer touched Cartrip, Cartrip rear ends Blamer, Axon crashes, and there you go, Roofalo has killed him, the reason why Roofalo did it is because he got a flat tire cut with debris on turn 1, he bumped me and the debris was from Katie, so Katie caused the accident

Kylie: And will he be ok

Jack: Yeah, pretty much

Kylie: Bob, Jack says is your fault

Bob: No not true at all, It is totally the fault of the safety as said by Spike, think about it in the 1970's only Bobby Carsac and James Carlidge died in the Piston Cup, Now look at this decade we lost SEVEN, Possibly even EIGHT if Axon dies, We are just teens who want to have fun, we aren't meant to go through this

Jack: I kinda agree too Bob, although I still have some blame on you

Kylie: You actually have a good point, I guess then back to you Pinkie and Sam

### Red Flag Conditions

Harry II: Arnold, we got a problem

Arnold: Yes

Harry II: He died

Arnold: Yeah

Ken: Vince is currently in New York, watching the race, let's watch

(Vince in New York)

Vince: That was.. (Vomits).. GROSS

Ken: You'll miss the whole year of 1990 now

Vince: And partially 1991 I will return hopefully if I don't get Bipolar or something

Ken: Ok

Sam: Er, actually Vince is supposed to be missing 1990 anyway but this pretty much confirms it, I know you want to come back to broadcast but we can't risk you going through more mental health problems

Katie and Johnny: WHY DID WE DO IT (They cry)

Johnny: I'm so young, I'm too young to die

(Johnny cries deeper and hugs Katie)

Johnny (crying): I need you Katie, you're the only girl who cares about me, I don't wanna die

Katie (crying): I don't want to die either, where is MARIO ANDRETTI AND THE KING, WE NEED THEM

Sam: Um this is awkward, two teenage racers crying and hugging each other like boyfriend and girlfriend

Johnny and Katie (crying): WE ARE NOT DATING

Ken: Mario Andretti and The King please come here, you both are needed

Mario: What

The King: They're crying, it's ok guys

(Johnny and Katie stop)

Johnny: Thanks

Darrel (angry): STUPID SAM! THEY ARE NOT DATING!
