Take it easy.

Come on now, Cole!

We messed up big-time on Sunday.

l had sponsors in the stands.

l was hugging and holding hands

and praying for a good showing.

And we end up looking like

a monkey f***ing a football.

Everybody out, please ...

except you two.

I've got a question: What is the one

thing you need to do to win a race?

- it's pretty obvious ...

- Quiet! You must finish the race.

l realize that Harry's

been around a long time.

But l need a proper car

that doesn't blow engines.

lf he didn't over-rev the engine,

it wouldn't blow.

When you shift the gear, -

- and the needle on the tach

reads 9,000 rpm, that's bad.

- The tires blow, is that my fault?

- Yes, it's your fault.

There's 40 other drivers out there

who don't use up their tires.

There's nothing l can't do

with a race car.

- There's only so much l can do!

- That's obvious.

He doesn't need

to appreciate your job to do his.

He has to know

what a car can and can't do!

You want me to work the pit

and you drive?

l can't talk to this son of a b*tch.

l can't talk to that son of a b*tch.

l really can't.

- You think he can drive?

- He can drive.

He can drive

beyond the limits of the car!

lf he'd listen to me,

we'd never lose a race.

lf we don't get a sponsor soon,

my ass is fried.

I'm liable to be out

of the car business all together.

Harry, l know you're great.

You know you're great.

But if the driver doesn't trust you,

we're never going to win a race.

Hey, Harry.

- We've got to talk.

- All right, talk.

On the radio during the race ...

You've got to tell us

what's going on with the car.

You want to change the way l drive.

Set up the car

so l don't have to change.

- Tell me how.

- What do you want to know?.

Is she running loose or tight?

A turn here, take some wedge out,

we'll win some races.

l can't do that. l don't know

what the hell you're talking about.

How do you mean that?

- l don't know much about cars.

- Neither does any other driver.

No, l really don't know.

A turn here? A wedge there?

- l don't know.

- How can that be?

They told me

to get in a car and drive.

I'd like to help out, but l can't.

l don't have the vocabulary.

Well ... we're just going

to have to figure one out.

Don't worry about it.

All right?

How does she feel?

- Her ass is all over the place.

- Her rear end is loose.

''Loose'' is fast, and ''on the edge''

is out of control.

Cole, there is something else.

- Tires is what wins a race.

- What are you talking about?

lf you can't run without melting

the tires, we can't finish a race.

What do you want?

Run 50 laps any way you like,

then 50 laps like l want you to.
