That was rubbish.
[Sighs]
We'll be lucky
not to finish last.
May as well not bother.
- You really want to win, eh?
- Yeah.
It's 'cause of your dad, too,
eh?
He should have won it.
My mum says
she bets you miss him heaps.
What do you think?
Maybe I'm supposed to
be a loser.
If you don't go in the race,
you'll be a loser for sure.
Boys.
Taking up art, I see.
Hey, Mr. Lumsden.
So you broken any
Yeah, right.
Well, you've got
your aerodynamics right.
Low drag coefficient, nice.
Could be your footprint
is the problem.
Deformation of the tires.
That costs you energy,
which isn't returned
back into the system.
And, of course, the roll
resistance increases with speed.
So you see what your problem is,
right?
It's your wheels.
Racing wheels.
That's your answer.
But they don't come cheap.
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
Catch ya later.
Wheels.
Wheels.
- What?
- I need to borrow some money.
Walker.
What a surprise to see you here.
Have a seat.
So how much
do you want to borrow?
$400.
[Whistles]
And how will you be repaying it?
My paper round.
I get $30 a week.
- And what's your collateral?
- Collateral?
Something you own that I get
if you can't pay the loan back.
Has to be worth at least $400.
I don't own anything
worth $400.
Really?
Even slug here has started
accumulating his own assets.
Haven't you, slug?
Never mind.
You'll just have to pay
15%.
Per month.
Now,
you know if you miss a payment,
you'll get a visit from
my debt collecting department.
He's very efficient.
Ah, Elliot.
- Lunch.
- In my bag.
All right, slug.
That's enough.
He could be
Have a nice day.
So you understand what can
happen if you don't pay on time?
Snap!
Good.
Now you need to sign in blood.
Blood?
[Both chuckle]
Just kidding.
No blood.
Not today, anyway.
[Whistles]
So your auntie
gave you the money?
Yeah. As my birthday present.
Is she a millionaire
or something?
Nah, she's visiting
from California.
It's my birthday present
for the last ten years.
Wish I had
an auntie like that.
Smooth.
I think we're ready
for the practice hill.
Me too.
Okay.
Okay, in three,
two, one, go.
- Rides good.
- It looks good.
Steering's good.
Stand by.
Coming to the marker.
It's looking good.
Now.
Stop! Stop! Truck!
Oh, no!
Slow down!
I'm trying! I'm trying!
[Brakes squealing]
[Truck horn blares]
You, like, almost got killed.
What was the time, eh?
What was the time?
- 43.7.
- What?
43.7.
Yes!
That was way too high.
[Clucking]
Get back in your crease.
Hey, look!
Where?
Yes! Got him! Gone!
That's cheating.
No, it's out.
What do you think, Elliot?
What? Oh, yeah, yeah.
It was definitely out.
Go!
Did I tell you about our cart?
Oh, no.
Did a test run yesterday.
43.7.
You're dreaming.
- Tell him, Jeff.
- Come on, let's go.
43.7.
Gonna whip your butt.
Not me.
[Horn honks]
Aren't you supposed to be
Uh, yeah,
science teacher's sick.
Some stomach thing.
He threw up at lunchtime,
all over...
Okay. Got it.
Aren't you supposed to be
at work?
Yeah, I thought I'd treat
myself and do the groceries.
- Come on, get in.
- I'm all right.
- No, really, get in.
- You can give me a hand.
Are you all right?
Yeah, hay fever.
Pollen count today was insane.
Well, you're really
in the wars.
[Whistling]
Hi, dad.
Hey, mate.

What are those for?
Making it run nice and smooth.
Always thinking about
the customer.
Can't have this old thing
hanging around the lot.
It's Japanese.
- Dad?
- Mm?
There's a boy in my class,
Ben Walker.
He's got a cart.
He said he did the practice run
in 43.7.
[Clank]
Ow!
43.7?
Well, you'll have to do better
than that, won't ya?
Don't worry, son,
your old man's still got
a couple tricks up his sleeve,
huh?
[Chuckles]
Dish wash.
Okay. Got pasta.
Yep, nearly done.
Oh! Can we get some of these?
Chips. Chips...
Are not on the list.
You know,

Cool.
I bet your teacher
was surprised.
Yeah, it was his idea.
Tell you what.
Get us some ice cream.
- Really?
- Yep.
Yes!
Not the expensive stuff,
though!
Hey, mate.
[Growls]
Ice cream?
Uh, yeah, I read the label.
Too much saturated fat.
Oi, you!
Oh! What?
That'll be $72.80, thanks.
Oi!
Come here!
Oi!
Isn't that your teacher?
Uh...
[Growls]
[Cell phone trills]
Oh. Zach needs some help
with his homework.

He's this new kid.
I better go help him.

Time it.
Remember:
You let anyonesee these and you're dead meat.
All right, get in.
Don't screw it up.
[Faintly]
Three, two, one, go!
[Clank and whoosh]
You must have started it late.
I didn't.
That can't be right.
It just seems too fast.
We have to get a look
at their cart.
There it is.
Let's do this.
You can't beat genuine
Australian V8 power, mate.
Beautiful.
Look at that. Gorgeous.
Yeah, nah.
Come on,

The chicks will think

Tire kicker.
Another one.
Hey, sport. You winning?
Uh, yeah. Sure.
Well, you better be sure

Are the modifications legal?

- You believe this?
If you're not winning,
what are ya?
- Losing.
- Losing.
Ever heard of
the Canberra Kookaburras?
No.
Well, they took part
in the 1979 grand final
and they got creamed.
It was your dad here
Winning.
Winning,
that's what people remember.
But can't we win
by just being the best?
Of course,
and we are the best,
but there's nothing wrong
with having a bit of insurance.
- But...
- No buts.
Jeez, you worry sometimes.
- He's not hungry enough.
- Oh, shut up.
Listen to your brother.
He's proved himself.
Now it's your turn.
The family reputation
is relying on this.
Look!
All right. Okay.
[Exasperated sigh]
[Clattering]
Oi!
Hey! Come here!

Ah.
Hey!
[Laughs]
Crash!

- Run, Jeff. Run!
- It's hydrogen peroxide.
- What's that?
Rocket fuel.
Compressed gas.
To make their cart go faster.
Told you they were cheaters.
Um,

- Go on, then.

You found it.
Wait.
Wear these.
For safety.
