If Zamson never took the chance, the race would have no victor. As The Black Wolf of Twilight City, every odd turned into an even, and he got even the only way he knew how. On the streets. Behind the wheel. Dusting cocky gangsters like Locjaw.
Locjaw should have known better than to try one of the city's fastest outrunners around. The Fort Third Lobos Gang went to blows with Zamson and Logan once before. It wasn't through a race, though. To Locjaw, Zamson was a menace to his operations over at Brim Hills. Selling illegal substances to everyone willing to get high off chemical drugs.
The Battle of Brim Hills is what the locals called it. The beef between Locjaw and Zamson came into play when one of Brim Hill's neighborhood watchers was knocking around a few Lobos skulls, cracking down on the drugs funneling through the block. Locjaw paid Brim Hills a personal visit. The community hero who sent Locjaw and his thugs running were also related to Zamson.
