Creative Writing: The Coal Trailer
Prologue
The squealing of the tires around me is not a pretty noise; most will find it obnoxious and just bat an undaring eyelash at it, thinking more about how their tax dollars will go to the eventual repair of the road rather than the events taking place. Then again, these races weren’t anything new, they met international expectation and the local clubs are known for having the best armature road racers around.

But at the rate that the clouds were coming in the races would probably be postponed not that the racers couldn't handle a little rain -that’s not true. When you have an environment like the Coal Trailers, liability comes into play and they risk nothing, it’s better safe than
