One morning, two brothers, Jesse and Jack, narrowly made it to Mach Speed Academy on time in Jesse's 69' Dodge Charger R/T, just minutes before the first bell. Of course, Jesse's last manuever, taking a high G-force turn around the gate and into a parking space did made Jack drowsy already. Anyway, they made it to their classroom (They're both in the same class). At the first and second period, Jesse couldn't help but get bored quite fast. He daydreamed as he looks at his car at the parking space, thinking that it was already years ever since he was admitted to MSA along with his brother, he eventually got caught by the teacher and Jesse went back to paying attention in class. At lunch, the principal announced that the sign-up for the Academy's racing teams has started, this also includes newly-made teams or old teams. Jack was surprised that the sign-up has started early as it always has been at February and now its the first day of the year. Jesse wasn't surprised, he's just hyped that he decided to make his own team, however Jack didn't exactly like the idea. Then, Jesse had a flashback; It was his last race last year. The team he's in were in the lead. But not for long, one of the Academy's favourite teams, The Tarmac Dragons, snuck up behind Jesse and started passing him. He had a view of the driver and its the lead driver, Steven Sturoso. Jesse's unawareness made him ram into one of his fellow teammates. Jesse spun and another one of his teammates smashed into him. Jesse recovers out of his spin and was after Steven. Unfortunatly, his Charger already suffered some damage from those 2 impacts; His first impact shattered his clutch plate and his second impact cracked his radiator. The end result is the Charger overheating rapidly and has no gear, counting him as a DNF, along with some of his teammates while the Tarmac Dragons take the win. Back at the present,Jesse doesn't want to repeat that mistake that costed his team a win. And to prove it, he's gonna form his team himself, even though Jack still doesn't like the idea (probably because he knows he going to be part of his team). School has ended for the day, Jesse and Jack checked out the Team sign-up board and almost all the teams are full, just as Jesse has expected it to be. Jack asked again if he has second thoughts but Jesse has already decided, despite the odds against them at the moment. So Jesse put up another post for another team, his team he named "Ikusa team" and used Team Garage No.38. Jack wondered why he used that name. Jesse replied he thought its cool since Ikusa means "battle" in japanese. Before thay leave, Jack remembered they need to meet somebody at the team garages. Jack doesn't know who they're going to meet but the person who told him is a teacher here at MSA. So they went to the garages and sure enough, someone is waiting. A closer look, it turns out its Jesse's old crew chief, Mr. Kasuro, leaning on his 68' Mercury Cougar. Before that incident, Kasuro had faith in Jesse ever since he first saw Jesse raced and recruited him. Now, Mr. Kasuro has less faith in him, however, he didn't exactly give up on him. Mr. Kasuro did asked him to stop racing before anyone gets hurt, especially Jesse himself. But Jesse ignored those words because he loves racing and he's determined to not let history repeat itself. In his haste, Jesse challenged Kasuro to a drag race by accident and he accepted it, just to see if he's really determined. the sun's going down and both are ready to take off. At the Academy's 1/4 mile drag strip, Jack's the person to see who won. As the lights go down to green, both cars sped past the start line. Jesse focused hard and nailed every gear and so did Mr. Kasuro. However, one driver's going to make a mistake, and Mr. Kasuro did that mistake; He just missed the sweet spot and Jesse crossed the finish line first. Jesse managed to get some respect back from his old crew chief. Time's getting late and Mr. Kasuro wished them good luck in the future. He also offered to be the mentor of Jesse's team, when he gets more team members of course. And of course, Jesse's not going to say no to that offer.
