Heroic Racer Shoots Down French Air Force Attack, Saves Race from Ruin
By Jack Sturges, Senior Race Correspondent
The Transcontinental Road Race faced an unprecedented threat yesterday when a foreign military aircraft—confirmed to be a French Air Force attack plane—attempted to sabotage the competition. The shocking aerial assault was aimed directly at leading competitor and national icon, Frankenstein, in what appears to be a coordinated attack against the very spirit of the race itself.
The incident occurred during the treacherous Midwestern leg of the competition, just as Frankenstein, the crowd favorite and Presidential pick, surged ahead of his rivals. Witnesses report that the aircraft swooped in with deadly precision, unleashing machine gun fire and attempting to strafe the track. Despite the ferocity of the assault, Frankenstein remained undeterred, demonstrating the same iron will and tactical genius that have defined his legendary career.
Eyewitnesses describe a harrowing sequence of events in which Frankenstein, rather than fleeing, made a daring play. Using his vehicle’s advanced maneuverability, he lured the French attacker into a fatal dive. The plane, unable to recover from the sudden altitude shift, crashed in a fiery explosion just beyond the race route. Spectators erupted in patriotic cheers as the smoldering wreckage served as a stark reminder that no foreign power can threaten the American spirit—or its most sacred sporting event.
The United States government has yet to issue an official statement on this brazen act of aggression, but sources close to the President suggest that a firm response is imminent. Meanwhile, Death Race officials have reaffirmed their commitment to continuing the competition undeterred, calling Frankenstein’s actions nothing short of heroic.
“Frankenstein didn’t just save himself—he saved the integrity of the race,” said Chairman of the National Transport Federation, Otto Laurance. “This was a direct attack on American tradition, and he proved once again why he’s the greatest driver this nation has ever known.”
As for the man himself, Frankenstein, ever the enigma, gave only a brief statement before speeding off toward the next checkpoint. “The race goes on,” he said through his signature mask. And indeed, thanks to his fearless actions, it does.
