New Story #1

"Green Flag is out for the 50th annual Haytona 500!"

   When I said that I remember what it took for me to be able to say that.

    It began with a 19 year old sprint car racer and brony wandering down a hallway the morning before a race. As I was walking down I say a blue ring in a wall, so being the fool I was, walked into it.

    After I walked through the ring, I saw a familiar area, the center of Ponyville. Unfortunately for me it was noon, where most ponies were out and about. Everypony just froze and looked at me as if I had committed murder. I asked "Is there anything I can do to relieve the tension here?" "Not much" a pony near me stated. "So is there a way I can get to Canterlot?" "Oh we have air taxis."  a somewhat familiar voice said. I turned around to see the speaker, and it turned out to be Rainbow Dash. "So are there any around." I said in an attempt at a normal conversation. "Oh yeah, I think there's a dock about two blocks down." "Alright I'll see if I can get one."

     With that I began walking down to the dock. Of course when I got there the taxi drivers looked amazed when they saw me, so I asked "Um, can I get to Canterlot?" "OH, yeah, um, we can get you there." "Okay, so can I go there?" Once I said that I was wondering why I was going to Canterlot in the first place. "Well it'll be 20 bits." They acted pretty normal for ponies who just saw a freak of nature. "You realize I'm new to the land, so I don't have any bits." "I guess you don't, well It'll be free then."

So after a day of travel, probably because I'd guess I weigh more than a pony, but I was taken to Canterlot, and the taxi pony asked "Is there anywhere sepcific you want to go?" "No, I'll walk to my destination." As I was approaching the castle, I was stopped by Shinning Armor and the Royal Guard. The entire patrol except Shinning Armor fanned out into a circle around me. "What are you doing here? Shining Armor said intensely, "Well, as I've been here a day, I'd like to see Princess Celestia, so I can be helped to settle in." "Fine we'll escort you." The patrol went around me tightly, with Shinning Armor next to me.

When we got there the guards STILL stayed behind me, but very close as I was talking to Princess Celestia. Celestia couldn't give me any bits, so she let me stay in the castle, and somehow earning bits. A suggestion was to find a job, my response was "How can I get a job if everyone is nervous around me?" "Well there must be someone who wasn't nervous." Celestia said. " Well, Rainbow Dash and I had a normal conversation when I arrived." A short pause while Celestia thought, then she replied "We have some of her friends have businesses in the city."  "Such as?" "Well, one owns an athletic clothing store"

"Okay so I'll start off there"

As I left it took quite a while for the guards to get off me. I wandered around the city, taking the most back-ass route ever. When I got to the store, well, the owner sort of acted, not like I would murder them any second. When I offered a job, I was accepted to stock clothing in the back room to be put on shelves. I earned five bits a week, I assume they don't have minimum wage.

We skip to three weeks later, and head over to the Royal Palace, same scenario leading up, I talk to Celestia, about national organized sport. "Well, we don't really have national sport"  I suggested racing, and got an insane look from the Princess, so I showed her a clip of a race, in a way I'm to lazy to explain how.* She thought it was interesting, so an exhibition race was scheduled for the next year. In the next year, I had to get at least ten drivers, and a track paved. After some meetings with architects, we chose Fillydelphia as the site of the track, in the style of Martinsville Speedway, as it was estimated to be the cheapest to build. After building the track at a cost of 2.1 Million bits, we started production of cars, with hoof friendly controls*. One car cost 500,000 bits, so 15 were produced.* After questioning ponies about wanting to drive the cars, we got twelve drivers. They consisted of
