Baoquan Mountain is one of the sections of Taihang Mountain of 800 miles, named after the ancient spring on the top of the mountain, this mountain belongs to the typical South Taihang landform, although the altitude is not high, the mountain is steep and precipitous, from the foot of the mountain to the elevation of less than 100 meters, the terrain rises steeply to the top of the mountain 16700 meters above sea level, there is hardly any undulating buffer terrain, the overall mountain is upright and rises high into the clouds, the tall and majestic mountain body separates the north and south of the two provinces like a high wall, so Baoquan Mountain is the boundary mountain of H province and S province since ancient times.

A two-way, four-lane asphalt road starts from the foot of Baoquan Mountain and spirals upward, passing through the three-kilometer-long mountain tunnel at the top of the mountain, and then spiraling sharply down to the foot of the other side of the mountain, a total of 24 kilometers, during which there are 33 turns up the mountain and 31 turns down the mountain, a total of 64 turns. Since the construction of a new highway between the two provinces, the old provincial highway has been abandoned, and this dangerous winding mountain road has become a well-known curve paradise, attracting car drift enthusiasts and motorcycle bending enthusiasts from all over the surrounding cities to organize various amateur competitions here.

Outside the gas station at the foot of the mountain, forty or fifty motorcycles of various displacements and models were parked in two waves. Parking their cars scattered in the shade of trees on the side of the road, it seems that a group of young people with an average age of about 20 years old belong to Xiao Nan's team, and on the other side of the road, the locomotives are lined up in two neat rows, and the average age is obviously much older.

"My name is Cheng Xiaonan, and this is my girlfriend Xiaoting. Xiao Nan took off his armor gloves and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the other party, while taking the opportunity to take a closer look at the person in front of him who was about to start a race with him, the legendary retired racer who had won the national championship.

The retired champion driver in front of him is about the same size as Xiao Nan, both are tall, not particularly strong, but he was born with a thick skeleton, an angular face like a knife, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, clear pupils, slightly sparse beard on both cheeks, a smile of unknown meaning slightly upturned at the corners of his mouth, he looks about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a red and white leather professional armor racing suit, much more professional than Xiao Nan's high-imitation bargain, he is carrying a red carbon fiber all-inclusive sports car helmet in his hand, which is also a valuable Italian professional equipment。

"The car I used to race with you today is Suzuki 'Falcons'GSX1300R......" Xiao Nan pointed back to his car behind him: "In today's race, Xiao Ting will sit behind my car." ”

"Qingcheng, known as Lao Qing in the circle, is just a bending enthusiast who likes to bend on mountain roads. The retired racer also gave Xiao Nan a brief introduction to himself, although Xiao Nan heard far more legends about him than his self-introduction. "It seems that you attach great importance to the fairness of the competition, and you don't plan to take advantage of my car displacement that is smaller than yours, and you want to take a girl to offset the advantage of your car displacement, I really admire your seriousness. However, it will not be easy for you to perform your technical manoeuvres when bending......"

Obviously, Qingcheng misunderstood the reason why Xiao Nan had Xiao Ting in the back seat during the game, but Xiao Nan did not give him any explanation on this issue. "It's okay, Xiaoting and I cooperate very well, and besides, I don't care about the so-called winning or losing at all, the fastest legend or something is a floating cloud. Xiao Nan looked at Qingcheng's eyes that seemed to contain a hint of an inexplicable smile and replied lightly: "It is a great honor for me to be able to compete one-on-one with the previous national champion, and I am satisfied whether I win or lose." ”

Qingcheng smiled slightly and nodded: "Good bearing, it is really worthy of the new generation of people who are known as the 'fastest legend of Baoquan Mountain'." But Xiao Nan, do you know who this title belonged to before you?"

"I don't know......" Xiao Nan shook his head: "I just heard rumors that ten years ago, there was a driver who drove a CBR750RR and never lost to any opponent on the road of Baoquan Mountain, whether it was a heavy motorcycle or a four-wheeled sports car, he would be thrown away without a trace, and even his taillights could not be seen." But for some reason, six years ago, this person suddenly disappeared from the circle of motorcycle friends in S Province...... Do you know this senior?"

"Hmm...... Not only did I know him, the reason why this person withdrew from the circle of motorcycle friends was because he felt that amateur racing was no longer challenging for him, so he was introduced by a friend to join the title team of a domestic motorcycle manufacturer and began to challenge the professional racing industry...... "Qingcheng told Xiao Nan in a very flat tone: "He later won three consecutive annual championships in the national Grand Prix, and then retired due to injury......"

"Retired due to injury? Oh...... I understand, the person you're talking about is yourself, right, Qingcheng senior?" Xiao Ting, who had been standing quietly behind Xiao Nan, suddenly spoke.

"Hehe......" Qingcheng smiled, glanced at this pure and pretty long-haired girl, today Xiaoting wore a full set of pink women's motorcycle protective clothing, the tight-fitting waist design particularly highlights her curvy, tall and slender figure, waterfall-like long hair draped behind her back, under the long bangs in front of her forehead, her eyebrows are delicate and picturesque, and her delicate little mouth slightly pursed out a subtle smile, making her seemingly quiet and well-behaved face reveal some slightly naughty cuteness, just like the legend, she is really a very beautiful girl.

"The little girl really has some eyesight. Qingcheng smiled slightly, and said in a calm tone: "You are right, the previous 'Fastest Legend of Baoquan Mountain' is me...... But I came back this time, not to regain this illusory title, I was just entrusted by the old friends in the team to help them stand on the platform, as for the race to win or lose for me at all, it doesn't matter to me, to be able to enjoy the feeling of the motorcycle sticking to the road and crossing the curve is the most important thing......" After speaking, he looked at Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting and smiled indifferently, as if all the glory he once had seemed to be a cloud of smoke.

"Then thank you seniors for your advice, don't just release water because you cherish your juniors later......" Xiao Ting grimaced at Qingcheng and dodged behind Xiao Nan.

"Uh...... You girl is really sharp-toothed......" Qingcheng was amused by Xiaoting's words. "Okay, let's see the real chapter on the track later, whether it's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip away, we'll know!" After Qingcheng finished speaking, he dodged away from Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting's gaze, and pointed behind him: "Come, look at my chariot, Ducati 999." ”

Looking at the past along the honest fingers, the red Ducati 999 under the sun was quietly parked on the side of the road, like a blazing flame, streamlined all-inclusive shroud, stilts with twin exhaust pipes, wide and thick hot-melt sports tires, and the static shape of the vehicle was full of a sense of fanatical impulse.

Although the eyes can't see the L-shaped twin-cylinder engine surrounded by the red Ducati in the shroud, the L-shaped twin-cylinder four-valve engine is compared with Xiao Nan's GSX1300R in-line four-cylinder engine, the torque and power peak at low rpm must come earlier, although the maximum power and torque are slightly different from the GSX1300R, but in the face of the special road conditions of Baoquan Mountain, which is a 100-meter bend, the acceleration performance of the low-speed section is obviously more important, not to mention that the rear seat with Xiaoting's GSX1300R has no advantage in the thrust-to-weight ratio。

"It seems that today's game will be very interesting......" Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting glanced at each other and smiled at each other.

"Radio relay in place. ”

"OK, please persevere, hard work!"

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the race and the smooth communication between the two sides, the participants of the two teams and the temporarily designated referee team are equipped with radio stations, using the same radio communication frequency for communication, answering and sending calls through the Bluetooth headset installed on the helmet, controlled by the PTT key installed on the handlebar of the locomotive, so that you can use the walkie-talkie communication without leaving the handlebar during driving, which is convenient and safe. With the radio station, even if the striker and the rear guard are several kilometers apart, a high-speed motorized team can still closely connect the whole team through radio communication, and all members can communicate with each other on the move, just like a mobile QQ group.

Because the power of amateur radio is limited by laws and regulations is relatively small, the person in charge of the finish line and the contestants will enter the signal blind spot after crossing the mountain pass, and lose radio contact with other companions, so this time Huzi through his network, from the Z City Amateur Radio Association to find a few masters with amateur radio licenses, with their high-power amateur relay radio, directly with a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle to pull them to the commanding heights of the top of Baoquan Mountain, with this relay radio to provide communication signal relay for both sides of the race, so that the range of dozens of kilometers around Baoquan Mountain is covered by radio signals of this frequency, and there will be no signal blind spots。

"Xiao Nan, I'm Huzi, and I've reached the finish line with the head of the referee team of the S provincial team. Huzi's voice was transmitted to the Bluetooth headset on Xiao Nan's helmet through a handheld radio hanging on his shoulder. Huzi and the head of the referee team of the opposing team had already set off in advance ten minutes earlier.

"Okay, if there is a large vehicle passing by, please let us know in time, so that we can avoid it in advance. Xiao Nan reminded Huzi. The winding mountain highway of Baoquan Mountain used to be an important transportation hub between H province and S province, this road was still a busy scene of all kinds of passenger and freight vehicles flowing endlessly a few years ago, since two years ago the state invested in the construction of an inter-provincial highway in the nearby ravine, in the vast mountains of Taihang to open tunnels and bridges and take a domineering straight line, greatly shortening the time between H province and S province, since then the Baoquanshan highway began to decline, first the overloaded checkpoints along the way gradually evacuated, and then along the way those gas stations and small restaurants that have been prosperous for decades have also closed down, less than two yearsThis highway has become a tourist road with sparse traffic, and it is a golden track for racing clubs in the surrounding cities, but there are still some motor vehicles from nearby mountain villages, and occasionally pull goods on this route for short transportation, and you must be careful to avoid them when racing.

"Understand, leave it to me here. Huzi replied on the radio: "The game will depend on your kid's on-the-spot performance later, let them see your strength!"
