. Rain hammering the road. Deep V8 engines rumbling.
Headlights slowly ignite in the fog.
At the front sits a black 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302. The hood shakes as the V8 snarls through open pipes.
BLAP. POP. POP.
Flames spit from the exhaust.
Around it are other outlaw machines:
• A brutal 1969 Dodge Charger R/T idling like thunder.
• A screaming 1969 Pontiac GTO shaking the pavement.
• A fire-red 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with the engine revving hard.
• A white 1967 Shelby GT500 growling beside them.
Drivers sit quietly, staring at the road ahead.
The mountain pass drops into darkness.
15 savage hairpins.
A racer lights a flare.
Green light burns in the rain.
RACER
Run the mountain.
He drops the flare.

High above the road, animals watch the storm.
A massive American black bear stands near the tree line, staring at the roaring machines.
Further up the cliffs, a Cougar crouches silently on a rock.

The race tears past them.

A wild V8 screaming through the night.

NARRATOR (V.O.)
They say when the storms hit the California mountains…
You can still hear them.
The outlaw muscle cars of the night.
Still racing the hairpins.
Still chasing thunder.
