[Music]

this is what you've all been waiting for

the greendale village super go-kart race

you can push your cart or pull it or

pedal it or use the wind it yes if you

want to but you can't use engines it's

in the rules

come on then lucy it's time we got

building okay there's only one cat going

to win this race mirror and that's ours

okay dad

hey farmers'll beat a lot of them here

bill

i don't see why not

[Music]

we can use these old buggy wheels and

these pedals from julian's old bike and

jess and me can sit in this old box to

drive it

we've got to put all this together first

we could do with ted to help us

if only we could borrow one of ted's

electric engines then we'd go really

fast we can't do that julian

it's against the rules

nobody had no dad electric engines are

really quiet

yes but it's cheating isn't it besides

it wouldn't be fair on the others would

it

watering machine would be perfect

if only i could stop it

hello ted oh hello arthur

can we go inside

see dad

the driver's feet have got to reach the

pedals

well in that case

i've got an even better idea

[Music]

thanks dead

i'll bring this back the minute the

go-kart race is over i mean as soon as i

finish with it yes but

there's something i've got to tell you

about me engines

it's

oh oh hello elf i hope ted i'm looking

to borrow summit

help him but he won't my dog knows

craig

[Music]

keep going dad

[Music]

are you all right arthur

yes thanks pat

i did keep trying to tell you me engines

wouldn't stop

but you just wouldn't listen

so i'm sorry to see

that although three very fast carts

crossed the line together

none of them won the race

because they all had engines

which is against the rules

go cat race was cat number four

raced by four brilliant children
