street car racingThis weekend our family enjoyed watching the interesting street car racing in the Speed Racer movie. The movie is a live action movie but with a cartoon feel. The Speed Racer movie is not a cartoon like the television series. The movie has some cool video effects and makes the races seem very exciting. In the movie, the bad guy wants to sponsor Speed Racer and fix the races so Speed will win. And of course, when Speed refuses, the bad guy starts doing mean things to Speed. Speed starts losing the races and doesn't qualify for the 500. Then Racer X asks Speed to do some street car racing. This is the race that had previously killed his big brother. So his father doesn't want Speed to do the street car racing. But Speed wants to hurt the bad guy by winning the street car race. Racer X, Speed Racer and another driver do a great job of beating up the cheaters and winning the race. It turns out that winning this race didn't hurt the bad guy like they wanted. But Speed Racer somehow gets an invitation to the 500 and, well, you have to see the movie to find out the rest and to see the cool street car racing.
