Today our Wacky Racers are waiting to wheel their way in England from Newcastle to the finish line London. And they're off! Taking an early lead is the pretty wizard Vanessa London and her partner Crystal in the Magic Rocket. In second position is Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific and in third is the Ant Hill Mob. There's no sign of the Double Zero. Wait a minute there's the Double Zero but its going in reverse and heading straight for the other cars. Dastardly must have flipped his lid.

"Flipped like a fox, ma'am. That is a remote controlled dummy full of dynamite."

Oh no! Look out Vanessa!

"Oh my gosh! I'm starting to think that Dastardly wants to do us in."

"Not if I send it back to its owner."

Vanessa turns it in reverse and it heads back for Dastardly and Muttley.

"Yikes! Every man and dog for himself!"

It reached them and exploded on contact sending them up, up and away.

"Muttley! Do something!"

Muttley blows a balloon and grabs Dastardly's hand

"Good work Muttley. That wizard and the rest of those Wacky Racers won't have it so easy the next time."

At this point Christopher Scott is in the lead.

"Uh-oh, the Red Max is gaining on me. I'll switch to motorbike power."

He does so and speed off

"Oh no you don't Christopher."

Red Max fires away and punctures Christopher's tires. Right behind him neck in neck for second place is number 5 Penelope Pitstop and number 12 Nurse Bridget and in third place the Creepy Coupe who's determined to pass them by going into Dragon Power.

The Dragon comes out but Arista acts quickly and douses the Dragon's breath with a hose making him yelp in fear and back into the belfry.

The racers now come to the city of Leeds.

"Here they come Muttley, set up the barricades."

The barricades were set up

What a dirty trick Dastardly has blocked the entire road. But here comes the Buzz Wagon.

"I'll get by quicker than you say 'suffering sawdust'."

All the barricades were completely destroyed and turned to sawdust.

"Blast their blades! They buzz sawed my barricades! It looks like I'll have to think of something else."

While Dastardly thinks of other tricks, the racers are holding a steady pace: the Ant Hill Mob is in the lead, Professor Pat Pending in second place and Red Max in third. But wait a minute, there's no sign of numbers 5, 12 and 13. Here they are but the cars are empty. Oh how cute! The girls are out to tea.

The girls were drinking tea and eating scones and Battenberg cake.

"Delicious."

"Indeed, nothing like tea time to relax from racing."

"Yeah, it's great to be in England."

"Another scone Arista?"

"Yes, please."

In fifth position Peter Perfect has some tea

"Ah, nothing like tea time on such a nice day."

Christopher Scott in fourth position is eating fish and chips.

"Nothing like fish and chips in jolly old England."

Meanwhile in the Dastardly Deed department, may I ask what you're doing Dastardly?

"Ask away miss."

All right, what are you up to?

"The road looks normal to you doesn't it?"

"Yes."

"But I have placed land mines on the road and colored it for camouflage!" He laughed "And here they come, watch the fun!"

Upon contact, the boys were sent flying.

"Oh my! The boys are in trouble!" said Penelope

"Quick, lay out these mattresses." said Bridget

The girls laid out three mattresses and the boys landed safely

"Is everyone all right?" asked Vanessa

"We're just perfect, thank you." said Peter

"Yeah, thanks girls." said Christopher

"What happened?" asked Penelope

"We must have been ambushed by someone." said Sergeant Blast

"And that someone is right over there!" Vanessa pointed out Dick Dastardly

"Uh-oh, let's get out of here!" Dastardly and Muttley ran off

"Arista, fetch!"

Arista went off and fetched them both

"Drat!"

Everyone was closing down on the finish line

And here they come. The winner is number 8 the Arkansas Chuggabug, Penelope Pitstop comes in second place and Peter Perfect comes in third. I wonder what happened to Dick Dastardly? Here he is along with his partner Muttley tied up to a lamp post.

"Drat them!"

"Don't worry folks, we'll set them free for the next race. That is, if we remember." Crystals imitates Muttley's laugh
