Zip under the banner, over the checkered line, past the Grandstands. Roll back the throttle and sit up, waving to the crowd. Slow it to a reasonable pace and pull into the Pit Area. Roll to a stop and put the kickstand down. Flip the visor and ask the Pit Boss, "Well, how did I do? What's the time on that lap?" Shut off the engine to hear the reply.

Pit Boss nudges you.
"Oh, yeah. Clocked in at 2:02:15."

Pit Boss: "No, not the time you arrived here. The time you crossed the line."
B4: "Oh... That was at 2:00:45. That makes my overall time..."
Pit Boss: "Twenty-one minutes and fifteen seconds."
B4: "Um... That's not so good, is it?"
Pit Boss: "Go back out there and take a few practice laps. THEN post your lap time."
B4: {sigh} "All right then. I'll be back around after I've mastered this." [He starts up Black Betty once again, checks it's clear, then leans down and zooms back onto the track, up-shifting as he gains speed. He's gone and around the first curve in seconds.]
