Updated Wacky Racers Unaired Pilot



"I just saw this, thanks to Cartoon Brew, and wanted to make sure all of my readers had a chance to catch this! It's a pilot that Cartoon Network ordered for an updated version of "Wacky Races," and features some of the original characters, plus the son and daughter of Peter Perfect and Penelope Pitstop! Sadly, CN has apparently passed on this one, because it looks like it would've been fun!"

I was a huge fan of the old 'Wacky Racers' show because of all the cool vehicles with their push button bonus features. This one does look pretty cool but alas we will never see anything beyond this clip. Thanks to Jon for finding this cool gem. Go to his site for some cool retro geekery and how to find his Facebook page set up to encourage cartoon network to rethink their dropping of the new 'Wacky Racers'.

It's too bad it won't get any further than this, but still, it was nice to reconnect with my old flame, Penelope Pitstop. It just would not have worked the first time around. I was far too young and had to be in bed by seven and she was older and driving around the world.

Well, we're both older now. We both have daughters and probably have more in common but, you know, it's just have been too many years. I guess we'll just have to smile sadly at each other, say our farewells and dream of what could have been.

It looks like she is having troubles with her selfish husband or ex husband. You really don't know what is going on with her. What would sharing a cup of coffee hurt? Catch up on thos good old times before the MAN stepped in and took control of 'the Races' and made them all about money and sponsorship and less about good old fashioned family fun. Personally I want her insight on how that fucknut MUTLEY kept his job after all these year.
