Fox is a tremendous driver, but Fujima Kaido's drift challenge has proven too much so far.

EAST WING, Blue House — While it was reported that M.C. Fox had defeated Forza Motorsport 3, it seems that the accolade was preemptive. Fox is actually one achievement point short of conquering the game, and that one achievement has been nothing short of a colossal challenge. The challenge is drifting, and it requires Fox to garner 100,000 drifting points on one lap. This achievement is, by far, the toughest on the game.

In order to have a chance, Fox hiked to the top of Japan’s famous Fujima Kaido race course. The course traverses mountainous terrain in a track that is as curvy as a dragon’s tail. While the course gives Fox a drifting advantage, 100,000 points remains elusive.

“It’s a difficult feat,” Scooter said on his weekly BHSN show. “100,000 points has never been done by anyone at the House, and it’s possible that the number has never been hit in the history of the universe. Fox is attempting original stuff here.”

Fox’s best score is a little over 80,000, which while impressive, is nearly 20 percent short of the goal. The problem is a simple one, for it involves time-travelling rewinds that enable Fox is redo portions of the course he initially messed up. While the rewinds should power him through to the finish with well over 100,000, they surprisingly deplete near the end of the course. After that, Fox merely bounces and careens off of guardrails like a pinball (if that’s what you’re into).

These failures beg the question: Is the end of Fox’s prestigious racing career? Will the former Tokyo Star finally fall short in a race? If so, will his career ever rebound? Fox, unfailingly, had a reply:

“I’ll keep going,” he said. “Ain’t no course going to beat me. I’ll beat it and then “conamicate” the House with my glory.”

But the question remains: What if this race, on this course, is Fox’s Waterloo? What if this is the one that he cannot win?

“If I can’t do it,” Fox said, “I’ll put up an ad on craigslist: Twenty dollars for someone to come over and beat it. Then I’ll “conamicate” the House with my glory.”

Fox promises to defeat the challenge and "conamicate" the House with his glory.
