"Alrighty then, participants! Please make your way to the starting line."

The announcer asks of the racers, as cars and horses made way to the line. The train attendants makes their way onto the Speedwagon train, and they all wait until the signal for the 2nd stage to start.

He adds.

He asks, chuckling.

"You've been making a weird face ever since, and you're starting to scare me..."

"What face..?"

He asks, turning around.

"That face.."

"...I don't get it."

Jodi says, frowning. Then, the announcer speaks.

"IT'S 10 AM! AND NOW... LET THE CANNONBALL FIRE!"

The racers see the cannonball fly ahead, and the race officially begins!

Once again, Choko racers foward, ahead of the crowd.
