The Run

Interstate 580

Altamont Pass, CA

Distance to New York - 2896 Miles

Collin who for a fifty three year old was speeding down Interstate 580 with relative ease in his Black 2016 Camaro after a 2014 Shelby Super Snake that had just past him a few moments ago., traffic had been doubled tremendously ever since they exited Altamont Pass and came onto Interstate 589, Collin bobbed in and out of traffic after the Shelby gaining on the car inch by inch. Two minutes had passed of driving down the road after the Shelby. The Interstate began to lightly turn left, causing the Shelby ahead of Collin to slow down from the increased traffic on the turn, and allowing a Collin a spare second to catch up. Collin took his foot of the gas for a second allowing his Camaro to slow down and fall in behind the Shelby who had just gotten out of the group of traffic and onto another straight away, when the Shelby increased its speed, Collin shifted his gears up increasing his speed with the Shelby and drafting behind it, keeping up.

It had been several minutes of Collin drafting behind the Shelby as they dodged traffic and sped down the Interstate at break neck speeds. Collin nor the Driver in the Shelby were showing signs of backing down., Collin broke his draft from the car ahead as him and the Shelby drove under multiple over passes that darkened the road. After breaking the draft Collin overtook the Shelby with relative ease, but after a relative short moment the drafting effect had worn off and the Shelby was right back up next to Collin, Collin looked over at the Driver of the Shelby whose face had looked dumbfounded when he noticed who was in the Camaro, it also appeared that he was speaking to someone in his car. They nodded at each other,  and after a brief moment of staring, Collin looked forwards at the Interstate ahead before he veered away from the Shelby, effectively avoiding a pocket of traffic that was about to make life difficult.

As Collin speedily drove under another underpass, the Shelby had activated its nitrous system and zoomed off. When Collin approached the Shelby he shifted into his next gear, that brought the Camaro up to one-hundred and ninety miles per hour, and caught up with the Shelby after the boost from it's nitrous oxide system wore off. The asphalt was zooming past at blistering speed, a blur of black and white paint. The vehicular gladiators battled for the third time within the same hour on that same battleground, they sped past traffic and wind farms and eventually came upon a large off ramp that a large amount of traffic was using to get off the interstate. That helped to clear the road up considerably, but not completely.

Without as much traffic Collin and the Shelby were able to gain considerable speed, the wind outside buffeting their windshields. While they zoomed down the road it began to veer left, a wall of slow moving traffic appeared at the end of the turn, this forced Collin to slam on his brakes, but the Shelby, instead of also braking, drifted towards the right of the Interstate and drove off into the dirt, an action which allowed the Shelby to bypass the traffic completely. When it returned to the Interstate it zoomed off down the road and out of Collin’s. The driver knew time was being wasted as he was stuck sitting on his ass stopped behind the traffic. He became so annoyed that he followed the example of the Shelby, Collin gunned it off the freeway and onto the dirt, cutting off the traffic behind him and earning him plenty of angry honks. The dirt was surprisingly firm and dry, this allowed Collin to gain a slight amount speed. He completely bypassed the wall traffic with a speed happy grin before he came back onto the Interstate.

Collin drove as fast as his car would let him, booking it down the interstate in hot pursuit of his opponent. After driving what felt like half an hour, was actually just ten minutes, he could barely see the Shelby ahead of him as it drifted around a turn. With that, Collin sped off towards his foe, hoping to overtake him by time he arrived at Yosemite National Park.
