Then after school, the guys go to the Race-Tin club, and Mike races the duo. Karl fumbles with the controller buttons and Frank copies Mike and comes into second. After the race, Sally and his father arrive. They get to the car shop and analyze some cars. Mike tells them what R.C. Racing cars are like. He explains his car as an example, and he tells that the higher the level, the car will have to be modified with spoilers and new body kits.

gollark: Regarding "anála": it seems weird to put geometric shapes in a different category to π.
gollark: Those are generally considered not bad.
gollark: I thought about it more, and I don't think there's an actual ethical issue, but it is an undesirable feature for a drive.
gollark: All the people in the original universe continue to exist, in universe B.
gollark: If you instantaneously destroy universe A somehow after operating the drive, then everyone will always be in the "good" universe B where its users don't cease to exist suddenly.
