[Racer X interrupts Speed in the middle of a training run]

Speed:
What's the big idea, Racer X?

Racer X:
I came to warn you. It's too dangerous! [points at a landslide]

Racer X:
Be careful of falling rocks like those. Last year, they wiped out a dozen drivers who could have crossed easily...

Speed:
How?

Racer X:
Just by keeping their minds on their driving and the obstacles in the way! But most drivers are worried about the cars ahead of them and how to catch up and pass them, so they sometimes forget to concentrate on the course itself. The plateau areas around here are very tricky: the ground is hard, but when it rains heavily, the ground loosens and changes and tires skid treacherously. Take my advice, Speed, otherwise this will be your last race. Very few cars ever reach the finish line. It's just too dangerous!

Speed:
Then you don't think I can win, Racer X?

Racer X:
You can only if you keep your mind on the hazards of the course! Oh, one more thing, Speed. Listen carefully. As you race down toward the big jump don't be going too fast, because you'll cause another landslide and crash down into the river. Also, when you reach the other side and start to climb again, don't try to go straight up toward the top. Zigzag along the slope. It takes longer, but it's safer, and in the long run you'll pick up some time. Remember, throughout the whole area there are patches of ice. One wrong twist of your steering wheel and that'll be the end of you. You'll find this is the toughest course you've ever raced and you'll need every ounce of experience and skill, Speed.

Speed:
Thanks for the advice. I'll try to follow all of it, Racer X.

Racer X:
Heh heh, because if you don't run a good race, I won't enjoy winning!

Speed:
You'll be in the Alpine Race?

Racer X:
Speed, I'm going to win the Alpine Race. I'm not going to give you a break, um-hmm.
