Track Rivalry

A-a roller coaster! You think some winding amusement loop can outshine a splendid scarlet engine on a proper straightaway? The second we stepped off into the dazzling midday sun, my axles were practically humming with competition. Resting on the dark painted slats of an outdoor bench, I found a discarded souvenir admission wristband lying hopelessly crumpled and crooked across the wood gap. A disgrace to real track mechanics! I locked my axles, revved forward with full momentum, and shoved my front buffer hard against the slick vinyl strap. Clack! It snapped perfectly flush along the timber seam. There—now that is true precision engineering!
