Dirt Page #4

---

we're gonna lose our team.

I want this truck running

like a winner by race time!

Alright! Let's do it.

Come on.

Open her up, man.

Harvey, what've you got?

You got somethin' for me?

(Harvey)

Uh, we could try lockin'

the differential

between the front

and rear wheel.

- 'Didn't we already try that?'

- 'I thought we did.'

- But it keeps slippin'.

- Why? Wh-why is it slipping?

I don't know,

I'm not gonna know that

until I get it up

and I run diagnostics.

Bulger, what've you got?

Boss, there's nothin'

we haven't already tried.

[sighs]

Great.

We could try increasing

the differential.

Dez, you got somethin'?

You're gonna listen to your

shop boy now? Jesus, Rick!

You guys are as useful as a dog

takin' a sh*t on the engine.

So, yeah, I'm gonna listen

to the shop boy.

What do you got, buddy?

Give it to me, speak up.

Okay, uh, well..

...why don't you try

and go the other way?

What do you mean?

Instead of, like,

lockin' the differential

why don't you open it?

No, kid, no.

We'd lose all our traction.

'He's gonna slide

into stands on every turn.'

MacCachren ran three seasons

on an open differential.

Got him a lot of podiums.

(Harvey)

Yeah, he had a completely

different driving style.

I'm sure Mr. Lerion

can make the adjustment.

He's gonna tell me

how to drive now.

'Keep your dog on a leash,

would you?'

Just listen, man.

The kid's got a point, okay?

What we lose in traction,

we're gonna get in speed

when we come out of those turns.

You know, I'm right here, guys.

I'm right here.

Don't I get a say in this?

The floor is yours. Speak up.

Fix the truck, Rick. Alright?

I can drive it

if you idiots can fix it.

Alright, let's do it.

Let's do it, come on.

(Seaver)

'We're racing Round 5,

Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park.'

'Kyle LeDuc leads with Carl

Renezeder hot on his tail'

'and Trent Lerion

in third place.'

(Harvey)

'How are you feelin'?'

Like driving

a broken shopping cart

through a river of piss.

- He's not lovin' it.

- Well, we're in third.

He's doin' somethin' right.

(Seaver)

'Let's take a look at this

battle for third place.'

'Eric Barron's hawking.

Trent Lerion'

'trying to get around him for

that final spot on the podium.'

(Harvey)

Trent, you're doin' really good.

Get some distance

between you and Barron.

Get ready.

He's gonna speed by you.

We're runnin' out of time.

(Arnold)

'LeDuc and Renezeder

are really bangin' it out'

'and Lerion's doing his best

to hold off Barron for third.'

(Seaver)

'Oh, Lerion barely moves on

as they come out of Turn 2.'

He's gotta accelerate more

into the turns.

He needs to come in harder

on the turns.

I'm not payin' him to

participate. I want that podium!

Come on, man.

Put some slam on that throttle.

This one's yours, buddy.

(male announcer #1)

'Well, it looks like

Lerion's got another gear.'

'He's finally opening up some

space between him and Barron.'

Come on!

'And as they battle

coming into the checkered flag'

'Carl Renezeder barely holds off

Kyle LeDuc for the win'

'and look at this,

Trent Lerion in third.'

- Whoo!

- Alright!

Oh, my God, man!

- Finally. Finally.

- Finally.

[laughing]

You did it, Trent!

Ooh-ah!

[crowd applauding]

(male announcer #1)

'In third place, Trent Lerion.'

[crowd cheering]

'In second place, Kyle LeDuc.'

'And our champion,

Carl Renezeder.'

Hold up,

only crew and press allowed.

I'm with Team Radden.

- See?

- I don't give a sh*t.

(male announcer #1)

'Let's give 'em

another hand, folks.'

Alright, Trent.

What's the problem, man?

The kid's with us.

And he won us the race.

So open the gate.

- Whatever.

- Thank you.

(male announcer #2)

Alright, once again,

now we got Trent Lerion here

in third place. We're gonna

go over and talk to him.

Trent, you know,

this has been a long time coming

'back in the podium

for Team Radden.'

I can tell by the smile

on your face

you're just stoked to be here.

Yeah, it feels, uh,

feels really good.

You know, it's uh,

it's been a long overdue time

to get this fantastic Rockstar

truck up on this podium.

Um, I pulled some great moves

today, but, uh

I gotta give a shout out

to one guy who made this happen.

Harvey Pearson, our crew chief.

Yeah, brother.

Yeah, we did it. I'm back.

And tomorrow, we're gonna be

on top of this podium.

So I'm comin' for you, Carl.

(male announcer #2)

'Trent Lerion, everybody,

third place.'

What are you doin', kid?

Come on.

So, where did you learn

so much about cars?

My pops owned a shop

in Inglewood.

Grew up in that shop.

[engine revving]

Yeah. You hear that!

Sounds like she's runnin'

on tiger bend.

Makes me wanna drink

dragon blood

and do karate

on a mountain, man!

[laughing]

Alright, let's get her in

and check her out.

Hey, Dez.

You get to clean every speck

of mud off this vehicle.

[laughing]

(Dez)

'Great.'

[engine sputters]

It ain't goin' into gear.

Had to jinx us, huh?

[groaning]

(Trent)

'Ah, sh*t!'

- Yo, you okay?

- No, man, that really hurt.

Let me see.

Ah, I just jammed it

with the wrench.

I finished the assembly though.

Can you drive?

I can steer, but not to shift.

This thing's throbbing already.

- Oh, it's that bad?

- It hurts, dude.

Well, if you can't drive,

the kid could do it.

- Rick is that a good idea?

- Yeah, yeah, he could do it.

Go on, kid, suit up.

Right, there.

- Okay, all set.

- Alright, kid, let's do it.

[engine revving]

Shift it to second,

real smooth.

'We're not doin' any jumps'.'

Alright, now to third.

Okay, now. Shift back down

to the second for the hairpin.

Goin' pretty good.

Let's see how he does

under load.

Alright, kid,

you got a straightaway comin'.

'I want you to go three-quarters

throttle to third'

and then brake before the jump.

I can handle the jump.

No, no, kid, you gotta learn

how to launch it

so you don't nosedive.

[engine revving]

Hey, slow down, kid.

Slow down!

Kinda like that, boss?

Yeah, kinda like that.

(Dez)

Don't worry. man.

In my former line of work

it was also important

not to damage the product.

(Bulger)

'Looking pretty strong.'

Might wanna open her up

a little bit.

See her full throttle.

Hey, kid, do you think

you can do it again..

'only a little faster

this time?'

Hey, you got it, boss.

Remember, I only got one truck.

[engine revving]

Not bad. Not bad.

It's shiftin' clean, boss.

'Up and down.'

Hey, Dez.

Why don't you take another lap?

What? She's not

even warmed up yet.

[engine revving]

Where are you going?

Nice control, kid. Nice control.

[engine revving]

55.2.

Sh*t, man, that ain't half bad.

[engine revving]

Alright.

Nice.

[clamoring]

- Take it easy.

- I got it, I got it.

Don't touch my truck, man.

It's my truck

and I told him to drive

because you're too busy

partying.

- No, no.

- Chill, chill.

Settle down, take it easy.

Alright, Rick.

How 'bout this, alright?

The black prick

touches my truck again

and you find a new driver.
