Introduction - Vinyl Scratch


Life is an odd thing, you never quite know where it's going to take you, and how things are going to end up, but that's the fun of it. I'm Vinyl Scratch, or DJ PON-3 (That's my stage name, I do a fair bit of disk jockeying), and before I started my shift at my usual club in Stalliongrad last night I would've never imagined that I'd be pulling an all-nighter in the back room of Stalliongrad's prime Nissan dealership. Nor would I have anticipated spending 150,000 bits on a Haynessey tuned GT-R to enter into a race crossing half of Equestria, but here I am.

It all started after I'd finished my DJing shift, I'd walked into the car park when I bumped into a colt I knew from high school, Sky Shifter. We chatted for a bit, and he was telling me about how he really wanted to enter this race, but he didn't think his car would cut it. He told me there was big bits involved, I asked how much and he showed me a flyer. 1,000,000 bits AND a limited edition Ferrarity 458GT Replica. At first I was unsure, but Sky was adamant it was legit. It was my next question that really put me where I am now. It came out without thought. “How do I enter?”

An hour later, and me and Sky find ourselves stood in front of a silver Nissan GT-R, and I'm hoofing over a cheque for 150K, we're then escorted to the back room to meet with the two engineers who were going to help me out. Fast forward through five hours of ECU tinkering, gear ratio tuning and a lot of other things I don't fully understand, and here we are, 3AM race day morning. I've got 9 hours before I set off on my four day journey to Ponyville, I think it's time I got some sleep. Ciao.
