"Why are you here?" asked Zippy.
"This is a racetrack.
It's for speedy cars!"
"I'm going to practice," said Eddy.
"Practice what?" asked Zippy.
"Racing," said Eddy.
Zippy laughed.
"I'm fast!
I don't need to practice!"
Eddy sighed.
Then he zoomed down the track.
"Let's race!" said Zippy.
"I'm going to win!"
Zippy shot after Eddy.
The sky grew dark.
Raindrops splashed everywhere.
Eddy's tires slipped in a puddle.
Eddy slowed down.
But Zippy went faster.
Water sprayed off Zippy's tires.
"Hey, Zippy!" Eddy yelled.
"You need to slow—" Crack!
Lightning struck a big tree.
The tree fell onto the racetrack.
"Slow down, Zippy!" cried Eddy.
"You're going to crash!"
