There’s one Disney movie about kids with a kart. I never saw it but I dated a girl who asked me if I’d seen it. She made it an objective to have me see it sometime but that didn’t happen. Gimme a sec to see if I can find it

It’s called Catch That Kid. It has to do with 3 kids using go-karts to steal money from a bank to pay for an operation

Racing Dreams was produced by the Rock, We watched this when we first got started. I used the lap description graphic to help my son learn to corner. It is campy and you can see the some of the “Kart Life” vibe too, but it does seem to be more down to earth and about the kids and not the money and the “crazy”.

Capeta is easily one of my top three favorite anime/manga combos.

  1. Initial D
  2. Capeta
  3. Any UC Gundam series (MSG, Zeta, 0083 etc)

What an amazing film. Thank you so much for posting this, it truly has propelled my ambitions to the skies. Setting up next family night to watch that and plan for are karting futures. :fishing_pole_and_fish::racing_car::heavy_check_mark:

But instead of 18k 2-stroke revs, they sub in what sounds like an LS engine for engine noise.

I have all of the Capeta series hosted on my website if anyone is wanting to watch it.

Wangan Midnight is a much much better manga, than it is an anime. i enjoy it, but it doesn’t fall in my top 10.

The Littlest Hobo Season 6 Episode 13: Torque

Shared by Paul Tracy (yes, that Paul Tracy) on Facebook. His acting debut apparently, shot at Goodwood Kartways in Canada in 1984/85.

Proper stuff: Direct drive, push start, no bodywork. I saw a Parilla and a Sirio on there for sure.
Also includes one of my top pet hates… untied helmet straps!

Enjoy!
