Yes, yes, yes!This rocks!, 16 September 2002
Author: ashleighm from Gaithersburg, MD

I love wacky races. It is just about the only type of racing I actually enjoy. Believe it or not, fans, I can't stand Dick Dastardly. He didn't seem to have one ounce of humanity in him, and was willing to kill the other drivers to win. Because of this, it was hilarious to see his fiendish schemes go wrong.
