(upbeat tones)
(distant overlapping chatter)
- [Man] They come off the corner.
(radio chatter in background)
- [Bink] See anything?
- Go.
(energetic rock music)
(engines revving)
- [Man] Yeah!
- Watts, talk to me.
Where you at man?
- [Watts] About 10 blocks from the school.
You should be able to see my now.
- [Radio] Unit 7, street race in progress.
(energetic pop rock music)
- [Announcer] Hey race fans, Rodney Wells just passed one C.
(shouts)
(energetic pop rock music)
(engines revving)
- See ya.
- Hey man.
Whoa.
(sirens wail)
(screams)
- [Kid] Whoa look.
- Hey hey come on.
(energetic pop rock music)
(engines rev)
(cheering)
(shouts)
- Well look what we got here.
(laughing)
Hey light bulb, how's the surf?
- No fair, Wells.
You broke the rules.
- [Kid] Who's this kid?
- Hey piggy, the rules is
there aint no rules.
Let's go, guys.
Leave this loser to the cops.
We're out of here.
(sirens wail)
- [Dahlia] Don't I get like a free phone call or something?
- Dahlia, you sit down and you keep your mouth shut
until Deputy West gets off the phone.
Randall.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- [Watts] Dad.
- Been seeing you in here a lot lately.
- Whats he done now?
- You're that kid they call light bulb, right?
Why they call you that?
- Cause they're ignorant.
- No really?
- My name is Watts, you get it?
Watts light bulb.
- Who'd you murder to get in here?
- Caused a few fender benders,
destroyed public property.
Inflicted bodily harm on a number of citizens,
including one bride who was disrobed
in front of Saint Tristan's church.
- It wasn't my fault.
- You're gonna have to come up with something
a bit more original than that, Watts.
Me, I'm guilty as sin.
I threw a burner on the IDA.
A tag, a bomb?
Graffiti.
You heard of it?
- Oh Vic, god knows we tore up this town
when we were kids
but this is the third time in a past few months
he's been in here.
Is everything, you know, okay with you guys?
- Yeah I mean we have our moments
but he's a kid, Jenna, what do you do
with a kid?
- [Jenna] Well, we're gonna have to (mumbles).
Next time it will be Judge Wallace's call, not mine.
- Thanks.
Let's go hot shot.
- Dahlia.
(soft electronic music)
- Go get cleaned up for dinner.
- Don't you want to know what happened?
- I know what happened.
I raised a juvenile delinquent for a son.
You want beef or chicken?
- I'm not hungry.
- And how do you throw a kart into a pool?
(soft electronic rock music)
(energetic electronic music)
(energetic rock music)
- Come on.
Look out, Jarrett, I'm gonna tattoo
that 88 all over turn four.
- Come on, Gordon, let's go.
- Hey no fair.
- He's gonna nail it man.
- Give it up, you can't beat Gordon.
- Come on Gordon lets go.
(energetic rock music)
- Told you.
- I had him in the last lap.
- Hey light bulb.
Time to get some scuba lessons.
(kids laughing)
- Zee hello Zee.
We want our money back.
That things rigged.
- Look man, if Bobby Labonte
or Jarrett or any of those other NASCAR dudes
can't get over on Gordon, what makes you think
that you can?
- How many people have actually beaten Gordon?
- Well nobody that's walked into this little waffle house.
- Well what good is then?
- What good is it?
I'll tell you what good it is.
The good is that no little freaky little
private school boy with a little squared off
haircut and a Winnie the Pooh knapsack
is gonna walk onto my virtual machine,
stand toe to toe and go head to head
with the best of the best.
Oh no.
This time it's gonna take skill.
This time it's gonna take coordination.
This time it's gonna take a message from god.
Things that probably way past you freaks
on your little burnt out Nintendo ride
to choo choo ville isn't it?
The cat that tames that wild beast,
he's going downtown on a ham sandwich
and he aint putting any mustard on it.
The dude that wins that game,
you grab onto his tailpipes,
because that dude is destined for greatness.
That's the good.
That and that that game brings in
you know 3,000 a month.
5,000 in the summer.
Come on, give me a potato.
(kids chattering)
- [Kid] You missed.
(tense electronic music)
- Aren't you a picture of radiant joy?
- What's up, are you lost?
- Community service.
I'm collecting for new computers in the library.
Give me a buck.
You know you're not gonna beat Rodney Wells
with something that's held together with Double Bubble.
- What would you know about it?
- I hear things.
Thank you.
- Um hey.
- [Dahlia] Keep out?
This where you got all the bodies buried?
- My dads old shop.
- What kind of shop?
- He used to build engines for NASCAR.
You heard of it?
- He win anything?
- You want to see it?
- Hey.
(soft reflective music)
Looks like you.
- He used to race before I was born.
- [Dahlia] Okay, I'm impressed.
- That's him when he won NASCAR Engine Builder of the year.
- That your mom?
Where's she now?
- Cancer.
- She's pretty.
Whoa.
- Big block 350.
Turns the quarter in seven flat.
- Ever drive it?
- No.
- Why not?
- Didn't want to die.
Don't touch that.
- Let me see it.
The Davies Comet.
- Two stroke hard engine that was better
than anything out there.
My dad designed it.
He and my mom built it together.
She was really good with engines.
- A chick mechanic.
Now that's cool.
- They made a good team
but we never raced it.
- Why?
- Watts?
I thought we agreed we weren't gonna come in here?
- So I'll catch you later, Watts.
- She's a girl from school.
- Yeah and the police station.
Nice group of friends you run around with.
Tell me something, what is it about
our agreement you don't understand?
- I understand it, I just don't get it.
I mean all this, look at all this stuff.
You should be proud of it.
- I don't want you in here for anything.
- Whatever.
- You understand?
(tense dramatic music)
(sombre reflective music)
- You coming?
- Watts, why do you always have to ask?
(sombre reflective music)
- [Radio] City council today voted...
(sombre reflective music)
(siren blares)
- Hey Watts, I want to talk to you.
- I wasn't going that fast, I swear.
- What?
- Yeah the throttle, it just sort of got stuck.
- What are you talking about?
- I don't know, maybe we should talk about
what you want to talk about first.
- No that's okay.
- Wasn't sure if you knew about this.
YKF is coming back to Speedport.
- Champ karts here?
- Yeah the regionals.
If I remember correctly, your dad won the IKF the last time
it was here.
- Grand national 74.
- Yeah.
He was something to see, your dad.
Anyway, thought you might like to check it out.
Scott McKenna and a couple of the top teams
are testing up there this afternoon.
Might be better than street racing.
(upbeat funky music)
(engines revving)
- Dad.
- Yeah?
- I saw Deputy West this morning.
- Oh yeah?
- She said the IKF regionals are coming back
to Speedport.
- Really?
- Yeah.
You know she thought maybe we could
a ride together and race
like we did before mom got sick.
You know I did pretty good in my first race.
You remember that?
Third place.
You know?
You said I showed natural ability.
- The regionals is a lot different than racing
junior one once.
- I know but I thought maybe you could show
me some of the tricks that helped you win.
- I don't think its a good time right now.
- Why don't you want to help me?
- Can we talk about this later?
- Yeah like that's ever gonna happen.
Why did you stop designing anyway?
Was it because of mom?
- Plug that back in.
- Tell me, Dad
and please don't say people don't want you
to design engines anymore because someone called you
again last week. - Plug that back in.
- Answer the question.
- Give me that.
- No.
- Give it here.
- No.
- Why do you want to do this?
- Why don't you want to help me?
- Uh.
- Oh hi, Jen.
- This a bad time?
- A little family thing here.
Come on in.
- Hey Watts.
- What can I do for you?
- [Jenna] Well I've had this in the car for about a week,
kept forgetting to bring it in.
- I don't usually work on anything unless it needs cylinders
but I'd probably say you're better off
just getting a new one.
- Well they just don't make blenders the way they used to
and that one right there makes the smoothest
margaritas you've ever tasted.
- Better fix it up then.
- So Watts mentioned that the IKFs coming back to Speedport?
- Yeah he said something about it.
- Could be fun.
- Oh yeah yeah, see that's, it's shot.
- Can you fix it?
- Take a day or two.
- Okay, thanks.
You know, Vic, he's a good kid.
I see a lot of you in him.
(energetic rock music)
âª Switch back âª
- Feel that.
That's precision engineering, buddy boy.
You got four Bridge stone tyres
that can cut on a dime.
You got-- - How much?
- 4,000.
- Dollars?
- You want to climb on the track
and run with the best,
you got to lay a little green.
- He's on only got a paper route.
- Yeah right.
- [Kid] Where you gonna get your hands on 4,000?
Might as well be four million.
- Hey why don't you just get your old man to help?
- He's never gonna know about this, you got it?
Ever.
- Okay whatever, don't have a aneurysm.
- I got a $2,500.00 savings bond from my mom.
Its supposed to be for school
but if I raise the rest, I'm in.
- Racing Rodney around the block is one thing.
Running in the regionals, that's gonna bring us
some of the best karters in the state.
Those kids got sponsored rides.
What do you got?
- Just want to get out on the track and see how I stack up.
- Hey it's your life.
Want to hit the wall, go ahead.
- Your optimistic attitude is infectious.
- Hey I'm a realist, brother.
I got both feet firmly on the ground.
Oh no!
- What if I pull it off?
- Watts, guys like us, we always hit the wall.
You can't get by Gordon.
- Sometimes you got to rewrite the rules, Binks.
Come on Gordon, show me something.
(energetic pop rock music)
yeah, yes.
- Nice man.
- You got him, I don't believe it.
- Keep it steady. - Everyone come here.
Watts is beating Gordon.
(laughs)
- [Girl] You go Watts.
Go Watts.
(energetic pop rock)
- Come on you little sea urchin.
Pound it, man.
- Come on, Watts.
(cheering)
- [Crowd] Watts, Watts, Watts.
- [Binks] Yeah alright.
- Watts, way to go bro.
- Pound it!
(crowd chanting Watts)
(cheering)
- Way to go, bro.
- [Binks] Yes Watts.
I don't believe this.
You beat him.
You beat Gordon.
- [Woman] What do you want?
- Hi, I'm Watts Davies and I don't know
if you're aware of this
but the International Karting Federation
is holding their regional championships here
and I was wondering if you'd be interested
in buying some sponsorship.
(upbeat pop rock music)
âª We're at the top of the world âª
âª And tonight âª
âª We got a rough time âª
- What are you selling?
- Sponsorship for my racing team.
- Since when do you have a team?
- I'm running the IKF.
- Sounds good.
Just be sure there's no swimming pools
near Speedport, huh?
(upbeat pop rock music)
- Hi, I'm Watts Davies.
Hi, I'm Watts Davies.
Hi, I'm Watts Davies
and I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not
but the International Karting Federation
they're holding their regional championships here
this year.
My gold level plan includes a $100.00 donation in...
My gold plan includes a $100.00 donation
in which you will receive your company logo,
including a big logo on the team hat and jacket.
Um.
My silver level plan, father,
is a $50.00 contribution.
Now with that, you and the church will receive
your name embossed on the chassis
along with a colour picture of you sitting behind the wheel.
I'm sure you know, father,
with gods money on my side,
I stand a good chance of doing well.
- $50.00 for a picture of me behind the wheel?
How much to take the kart around the track?
- This kart, it's crazy.
- How'd you get it?
- The wheels are so fat.
(video games beeping)
- Another check for $50.00 bucks.
How'd you do it?
- I just sold them on the dream, man.
- Hey girls.
(laughs)
- Look who we got here.
- Hey hey leave him alone.
- Hit the road, man.
- Come on.
- I got a news flash for you, light bulb. - [Kid] Open the door.
- You don't got the game for the IKF. Those guys walk on water
and last time I checked, you don't.
(laughing)
- Give it back, Rodney.
- Hold him, man. - Grab him, grab him.
- [Kid] That's right.
- Now I'm gonna teach you a little lesson,
save you a little heart ache.
- Give it here, Wells.
- I'd hate to see you waste the next six weeks
trying to put together a ride
and then get your butt kicked in the qualifier.
- Wells don't.
Rodney don't do it.
No!
- Watts!
- [Watts] No stop it.
- [Kid] Watts you okay?
- Take a look, light bulb.
- [Kid] Sprinkler!
(alarm rings)
Jet man. - Get out of my way.
- Police. - Move move.
- [Zee] Hey what's going on?
- Watts, Watts, what are you doing man?
Get out of here.
(soft tense music)
(sirens wail)
- What happened?
- Its not entirely clear.
There was a fire at Zee's.
Seems Watts is involved.
- He started it?
- Well we haven't been able
to get much out of him
but if there were others, he's not saying.
- Oh man.
Can I ask you a question?
What were you thinking?
What am I gonna do with you, Watts?
Do you realise the judge might send you to Hillside?
- Congratulations, I'll finally be out of your hair.
- I'm not done talking to you.
- How come it takes me getting arrested
for you to want to talk?
- What are you trying to prove?
- Nothing.
- You sure proved that.
Where's that money you collected?
- Why?
- Cause we're gonna give it back.
- That's beautiful, dad.
You know I would really like to
but it was lit on fire today.
- Oh this is funny?
You think that's funny?
I don't think its funny, Watts,
my kid getting arrested.
- You weren't gonna help me.
- Don't make this about me.
- Don't you get it?
It is about you.
Its all about you.
- Watts, get back here.
Watts!
- And with the Rotex 125, you are going
to rule out there, my boy.
Can I just get you to sign this.
(soft upbeat music)
- Oh Watts.
Hey little pyro.
You bust out or someone post bail?
- Not in the mood.
- Sorry.
I heard what happened.
- Yeah well probably be a front page headline
in the paper tomorrow.
- Don't let them beat you, Watts.
- Don't take this wrong
but you don't know nothing about me
or my problems.
- I know more than you think.
- Okay so what do you suggest?
Hey I got it, maybe I should take out my frustrations
by scribbling paint over someone else property.
Would that make me feel better?
- Forgot it.
(soft sombre instrumental music)
- Alright you want to talk about it, little dude?
- About what?
- Oh I don't know why don't we talk
about my grandmothers underwear?
How bout why I've been mopping all night?
After all, I didn't set off the sprinklers.
- I'm sorry, Zee.
I'm sorry I screwed up.
It seems to be the only thing I'm really good at.
- I don't know man.
I saw you do something on that machine
that nobody's ever done before.
- It's virtual reality, Zee.
It's not reality.
- Hey, we don't use that kind of language in here, okay?
For some of us, this is the closest we're ever gonna get.
Listen you little speed freak,
you know how to use one of these?
Huh, come on.
Just what I thought.
(soft instrumental music)
Vic?
- Hey Zee.
- How you doing, man?
It feels like its been half a lifetime.
Yeah.
Hey how you feel about the IKF moving back to Speedport?
- Brings back a lot of memories, doesn't it?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- You sure left some tasty stripes
hanging on those walls.
Looks like Watts there has your taste for speed.
- You think?
- Oh yeah.
He's got that anger in his eyes, man.
(sighs)
(soft reflective music)
âª Sometimes I scare myself âª
âª I don't know where to turn âª
âª I don't know if I should teach âª
âª Or if I should learn âª
âª They both mean the world to me âª
âª Though leader I am not âª
âª With all eyes watching me âª
âª Their cast their nets âª
âª I'm caught âª
âª Well I'm caught on my street âª
âª And still I'm fighting âª
âª You got to stand on your own âª
âª Fight for what's right âª
- [Watts] Dad, dad?
âª You got to skip the middle man âª
âª And keep your focus inside âª
âª Got to stand on the hill âª
âª Scream you're alive âª
âª Cause you won't die âª
âª You're alive tonight âª
- You see those fenders?
- Yeah.
- Put them over against that wall.
(intense electronic rock music)
Hey, Watts.
Set those tyres over there by that metal beam.
- What's going on?
- What do you see?
- Nothing.
- Well look again.
You see it?
- Yeah I see it.
- What do you see it?
- A lot of junk.
Now what do you want me to say?
Whoa.
(laughs)
No, no way.
No way.
- Well you know what they say.
One mans junk is another mans treasure.
Its all the key corners.
See its the hairpin
and through here you got the chicane.
You got to be real careful through this tricky part.
You got to keep your speed up.
Get to the right hander, break,
hit the hammer down, take her all the way home.
My dad built this for me when I was a kid
to practise on.
So I could be the best of the best.
That's what you can be, Watts.
The best of the best.
(laughs)
(upbeat electronic music)
- Hey.
- Got us a new engine.
- I thought we were gonna use the comet?
- That's just a prototype, Watts.
Things not even race ready.
- But we can make it race ready, you and me.
- There's too many bugs, not enough time.
- But I thought--
- Look, if you want to race the IKF,
this is the engine that's gonna get you there.
(upbeat electronic rock music)
- Looks fast.
- Oh dude, believe it.
It's so fast.
- It better be fast because your social life
needs all the help it can get.
- Hey Watts.
Watts.
Are you really racing in the regionals? - I'm gonna try.
- Maybe I'll come visit you in the pits.
- [Girl] Yeah me too.
- I'll come too.
- Come on, come on, let's go.
Why you even talking to them anyways?
- [Kid] Come on.
- Nice.
- Did that just happen?
Put me in for that pit stop. - I think so.
(laughs)
(sombre reflective music)
What do you think?
This one here or there?
- Where you have it, I guess.
Alright, bring her on out.
- So what's with the cans?
- Well this will help you keep your line
and your smoothness.
If you can make one lap in one minute
without knocking over one can,
you'll be ready to race with the best.
- That's all I got to do?
- That's it.
- That's it?
- Yeah.
- No problemo.
(engine revs)
(laughing)
- Oh.
(grunts)
(low tense rock music)
(grunts)
(low tense rock music)
- This can't be done.
- You just did it.
- It took me like eight minutes.
It's impossible.
- No it isn't.
- Well why don't you do it then?
- Cause I've got stuff to do.
- Come on, dad, show me your skills.
Come on, alright alright.
Look I'll give you a deal, alright?
You get around this course in under a minute
and hit no cans at all.
I got dinner detail for the next two months.
(soft rock music)
Come on anything you want for dinner.
Come on.
(intense rock music)
- I feel like lasagna tonight.
(laughing)
- Hey.
- Hey Watts. - Hey.
- Hey Kate.
You want to go for a ride?
- What's up?
Your old man give you the night off
from junkyard patrol?
Come on ladies, let's go.
- [Girl] See ya, Watts.
- She's overrated, you know.
- Who?
- Future prom queen.
Could be wrong, but I think you'd like your woman
to have a little more mystery.
- Listen, about the other night.
- Forget it, I'm beyond it.
Check this out.
This is Snow.
He really knows how to layer colour
into distinctive forms.
Look.
It's beautiful.
- Who's this?
- [Dahlia] Oh that.
Moi.
- You?
- With a little help from Michelangelo.
- You ever try to sell anything?
- Kind of hard.
Buildings get very expensive, Watts.
- No I mean like on canvas.
- Who would buy it?
- I would.
- I'm flattered but I think
I'm gonna stick to buildings for now.
Let's see.
In a couple of days, this will be gone.
Sand blasted away or covered by someone else's paint
and that's okay cause
I don't want anyone getting too attached to it.
So want to make out with me now?
Bet you thought I was serious.
(upbeat intense rock music)
- Whoa!
- What the hell was that?
- Weren't you looking?
- Could you next time give me a little warning?
- On a race track, there are no warnings.
You go in prepared, you anticipate and you react.
End of story.
(grunts)
(intense rock music)
(laughing)
Come on!
(cheers)
This aint bumper cars, come on.
- Oh alright.
Oh you want to play rough?
- Hey where you going?
- [Watts] When did you first know you wanted
to design engines?
- February 14th, 1976.
It was the Daytona 500.
What a race it was.
Richard Petty was the man to beat that year.
He was coming out of 13 wins in 75
and he looked like a shoo in to take
home his record breaking sixth 500.
Held the lead for almost the entire race.
Then on the last lap, David Pearson
pulls out of Petty's draught
and both cars start spinning and crashing.
I mean it was chaos.
Debris flying everywhere.
It was one of the most exciting finishes
the 500 ever had
and I didn't see any of it.
- What?
- Because at the moment that Pearson
was making his move on Petty,
I found myself staring down in pit row
at the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen
in a mechanic jumpsuit.
She was standing up on this retaining wall,
yelling her head off
but even from where I was sitting,
you could still see that fire in her eyes.
- It was mom.
- Yeah.
And I realised at that moment two things.
What I wanted to do with the rest of my life
and who I wanted to spend it with.
Its what you might call a defining moment.
- Hey Scott.
What do you think of my son Rodney.
Kids got some talent.
- Some.
- [Man] This way, Scott.
Okay thanks.
- Excuse me, Scott.
I'm a local racer and I was at Speedport
the day you were doing the 360 spins.
- Davies donuts, you like those huh?
Pretty cool.
- Davies donuts?
- Yeah I copied them off a guy named Vic Davies.
- Vic Davies?
- The only guy to ever win three grand nationals.
I'm still chasing his lap record.
- [Watts] Yeah I've heard of him.
Thanks for your time.
- Hey what did you say your name was?
- Watts.
- I look forward to racing you, Watts.
- Okay, zero hour.
Time to show me what you got.
(energetic rock music)
- That's the best I could do it.
I ran like flat out.
- Not bad, 54 seconds.
- 50...
Yes!
- Hey champ, come on in here.
My old racing colours.
Your mother always did like you in red.
See you in victory lane.
(soft reflective music)
(upbeat rock music)
- [Announcer] This is Bob Jenkins and Paul Romanuk
and we welcome you to day one
of the IKF regionals.
Now today is qualifying day.
Only the top 25 fastest drivers
will qualify for tomorrows future race.
These drivers will be getting speeds
well over 100 miles an hour
so there's no room for error.
- [Announcer] Well its a good point, Bob. 75 racers gunning for only 25 spots.
Be a lot of sad faces.
(engines revving)
- Y'all set?
- There's a lot of big names out there.
- Yeah well, worry about them out there on the track
not in here.
Let's go.
- [Announcer] All drivers to the pits.
Let's get our first qualifying round underway.
Scott McKenna, your reigning champion,
will be first on the track.
I'm sure we're gonna see a hot lap.
- [Announcer] Oh yeah, this kids got it.
(engines revving)
- [Kid] Oh baby.
- Okay.
Let's take a look at the competition.
We've got Kyle Lock, he won the WKA championships last year.
Then there's the babe herself, Natalie Prefontaine.
She's looking mighty fine today.
- Mighty fine.
- The big question, will local underdog
Watts Davies find his way on the starting grid?
Lets ask him.
- Hey. - Hey!
- Back.
- Go get him, Wattsy.
- You're the man.
- [Man] No move back.
This is a restricted area here.
- How you feeling?
- I think I'm gonna heave.
- Good.
- Good?
- I always ran best when I felt
like tossing my cookies.
It will go away.
Bill, Bill!
- Hey light bulb.
- [Vic] I need to talk to you.
- Road kill.
- [Announcer] Scott McKenna is on the course.
(upbeat electronic rock music)
Oh he is worth watching, Bob.
Smooth as silk in the corners.
(engine revving)
Oh Scott McKenna has just clocked in at 105 miles an hour on the back stretch.
He is flying.
- [Announcer] McKenna has just turned in a lap
of 46 seconds flat.
Now that should give him the provisional pole
this afternoon unless somebody can find more speed.
- [Announcer] Next up, Rodney Wells.
He's a local kid.
Watts Davies on deck.
- Give me a hand.
Okay now when you enter the track,
get your tyres good and hot.
Now don't worry about the time, alright?
Just concentrate on turning a good smooth lap.
Everything else will take care of itself.
Got it?
- Got it.
(tense rock music)
- [Announcer] Looks like Rodney Wells has it dialled in.
(cheering)
- Yeah!
- Loser!
- [Announcer] No problems for Rodney Wells,
he puts kart number 34 solidly in the field tomorrow
with a 48 oh six.
- Burn em up, kid.
- [Announcer] Next up is the number eight, the young fireball, Watts Davies.
Now his name may be familiar to you,
his dad is non other than three time
national champ, Vic Davies
and those are some very big shoes to fill.
- [Announcer] Oh they sure are.
Watts is gonna have to show some of his fathers
past magic if he's to find a spot in tomorrows race.
He has to do better than 48.27 to qualify.
He's in tight.
So let's hear it for Watts Davies.
(cheering)
(lighthearted rock music)
(groaning)
- [Announcer] Davies spin out, Paul,
leaves him with just one more attempt
at a qualifying lap.
- [Announcer] Yeah its gut check time now, Bob.
- You okay?
- Yeah I just lost it there.
- Alright alright, refocus.
Find your line, you can do this .
No sweat.
Go.
- And Watts Davies is back on track.
(cheers)
That was one big miscue.
- Are you gonna do this all day?
- [Announcer] Alright here we go.
It's the last chance to make it into the regionals.
Watts Davies just one lap.
The green flag is out.
(soft reflective music)
Alright now here we go,
he's approaching turn number five
where he had the spin out on his first lap.
- Come on, Watts.
- [Announcer] Much better line through the corner that time.
(heavy breathing)
It's not looking good for Watts Davies.
Hey may not make the field.
- Sorry, Watts.
You gave it your best shot.
- Oh no don't tell me.
- You're in.
- [Announcer] Watts Davies makes an amazing rally
finishing with a 48.21.
- Yes!
- Yeah!
- [Announcer] Inside row eight in tomorrows
dash for Daytona.
- [Announcer] Just like his dad.
(cheering)
(soft reflective music)
- Hey.
- Hey why don't you guys get yourselves something to eat?
Got a big day tomorrow.
I've got some stuff to do.
- [Watts] What kind of stuff.
- Stuff, you know, stuff.
- Parents.
- Yeah I know.
(radio chatter)
- Thought you might be getting a little thirsty.
- Vic.
Yeah I was kind of going through withdrawal.
So I hear congratulations is in order.
I heard you guys made it into the race tomorrow.
- Yeah.
Gonna give it a shot.
- I bet Watts is excited.
- I don't know who's gonna get less sleep tonight,
him or me.
- Thanks.
Goodnight.
- Hey Jen.
I thought we might give that thing
a little test drive.
See if its up to your standards.
- You really love it huh?
Racing.
- Yeah sometimes when I'm driving
everything's clicking at,
I feel like I could just ride flat out
and no one could get by me
and then of course I start thinking
of Scott McKenna, kids like that.
Corporate sponsors, the best karts money can buy
and I think to myself,
what makes me so sure that I could beat that?
If I could just get in there tomorrow, you know
and really just hang with those guys.
It wouldn't matter to me who wins.
- Don't freak out on me, okay.
Its just for luck.
- Dahlia, if I have any hope of winning this thing
I think I'm gonna need a bit more luck than that.
(engines revving)
- [Announcer] It is race day here at Speedport
as yesterdays 25 fastest qualifiers get set to go.
We have some reports of thunderstorms
and lightening in the area.
So we'll be keeping a close eye on the sky
as we get set for the green flag
but Bob I'm excited.
I mean this is the big one,
the regional, a 25 lap showdown.
Winner goes to the nationals
next month down in Daytona.
- Whoa.
Is there something you want to let me in on here?
- [Announcer] Attention all drivers to the grid.
- Hello race fans and this is (mumbles)
we got us a real humdinger of a race today.
Back in the pack, local favourite fireball Davis
next game spot.
(upbeat electronic music)
- Way tighter now.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
- Alright now, the first few laps
you're probably gonna be forced from your line.
Just be patient.
When you see an opening, go for it.
- [Announcer] All crew members to the pit area,
we're ready to go green.
(cheering)
- Let's go Rodney!
(whistles)
(cheering)
(energetic instrumental music)
- Watch for trouble.
Keep your eyes open.
- Dad, that kid just cut me off.
- Alright.
- I'm boxed in.
- Stay on your line.
(cheering)
- [Announcer] And after one lap,
the leader is Scott McKenna.
(cheering)
- And Watts Davies is in the 21st position.
That's not gonna do it.
- Okay stay on your line.
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
- Watch your breaking.
Don't be anxious.
Wait for your shot, Watts.
- Its now or never, Dad.
(cheering)
- Come on!
- [Announcer] Oh he's got (mumbling).
- Turn three, lets go, lets go.
- [Announcer] And I don't know how
but it looks like the lead has made it through.
Rodney Wells took a beating
but Watts Davies has jumped up into 9th place.
Making a big move on the field.
- [Vic] Good driving, Watts.
- Boy that was close.
- Alright, listen to me, listen.
Keep your eye on the starter.
When it goes green, make your move.
(cheering)
- Alright, come on.
- Let's go!
- [Announcer] Watts Davies moves up to sixth.
- Good move, Watts.
- Hey I found my line.
(cheering)
- [Announcer] Rodney Wells with the bump
and Kyle Rodger grabs some air.
(cheering)
Watts Davies moves into 3rd place
and has his sight set on second.
- Alright.
(thunder claps)
- [Announcer] Number 34, Rodney Wells,
pushes his way back up the leaderboard.
(engines revving)
- Alright hold it right in there.
Hold it right in there, now.
- Come on!
(cheers)
- [Announcer] Three way battle going on for
the lead at turn 10.
- Come on Watts, go.
- Okay light bulb.
The rules is, there aint no rules.
(crowd groaning)
- Red flag.
We have lightening on the track.
All drivers to the pit area.
Maintain your position.
We'll continue when the weather allows
in your present running order.
- [Announcer] And that means when we do resume this race,
it will be a six lap shootout.
- [Announcer] Now that last accident pushed our leaders
well down into the pack,
although Rodney Wells has come back into four spot.
- [Man] We're losing tyre pressure in the right rear.
- You couldn't beat me straight up, could you Wells?
Come on, come on.
- [Wells] Get off of me.
- Give him a shot.
- [Bink] Yeah Watts, smack him.
Hit him in the face.
- Break it up, come on.
- Watch it.
- Hey you should be disqualified.
- Me?
You rammed me on purpose.
- It's okay, I'll take care of it. - [Man] Stay there.
- What are you trying to do?
Get yourself thrown out of the race?
- I had him, I had him and he jobbed me out of it.
- So?
You gonna let it beat ya?
- Watts, Mr. Davies.
Should the engine be smoking?
- I'll inform the starter you'll
be withdrawing from the race.
- Yeah.
- Sorry son.
You did well.
Davies will be pulling out of the race.
- Dad.
- You ran a good race, Watts.
- Why is that anything that's good
always goes away?
- Could you give us a second, please?
Sometimes bad things just happen, Watts.
Sometimes there is no why.
Can I tell you something?
When your mother died,
that was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through.
These last four years,
it's been hard feeling anything
expect sorry for myself.
Well I know that I haven't always
been there for ya
in ways that maybe I could have.
But you showed me something today, son.
The way you drove.
From here on out.
Its you and me, 100%.
- Prove it, dad.
The comet.
- Watts, that things never even raced.
Never turned more than two or three laps.
I don't even know if that damn thing will run.
- It will run.
You and mom built it.
It will run.
Please?
- Excuse me, guys.
I heard your engine got cooked.
I have a spare engine on my truck.
Its yours.
If you want it.
I want to beat the best out on the track,
not back here.
- Well we appreciate that.
But we're gonna be okay.
- [Announcer] All riders please form
in your last bit for the red flag.
- [Announcer] Due to a short six lap format of this race,
there'll be no stopping until the chequered flag.
Green flag in one minute.
- [Watts] What's the story, dad?
- We'll get there.
Here.
Get your helmet on.
(engine revs)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Now if she burps, you're going to have
to adjust the carp through the chicane.
- Any last minute advice?
- Yeah, go fast.
(energetic rock music)
(cheering)
- [Announcer] Here they come to the green flag
to decide who goes to Daytona.
Now Watts Davies has had to change engines
due to that earlier collision
and trails the pack.
(engines revving)
- Okay she hasn't run in four years, bud,
so let her breathe.
- Don't worry dad, I got it.
- [Announcer] And here they go.
(cheering)
- Come on!
- Go Watts!
Yeah!
- [Dahlia] Get em Watts!
(laughs) - you feel that?
Huh?
That's a kick in the butt.
(energetic rock music)
- [Announcer] Rodney Wells climbing more ahead of the pack
while Scott McKenna begins his battle back
from ninth position.
- Clean it out, Watts.
Clean it out on the back stretch.
- I hear you, dad.
- Tracks heating up.
Watch your tyre temperature.
- [Announcer] Rodney Wells takes the lead.
(cheering)
- Yeah!
- Go Rodney!
- [Announcer] Our leader is number 34, Rodney Wells.
Five laps left.
Oh and another crash, this one in turn number two.
- Good move, Watts.
Good move!
- I got my line.
- [Announcer] McKenna and Davies are each
making a big run on the field
but Watts has a long way to go.
(laughing)
(engines revving)
(cheering)
- Whoo!
- Go Watts!
- [Vic] Looking good.
- [Announcer] Four laps to go.
(cheering)
- Yeah!
- I got McKenna in my sights now.
(cheering)
- Yeah Watts!
Do it.
- [Announcer] Only three laps left.
The leaders are setting an incredible pace.
The lap times are going down
as (mumbles) is coming up.
(grunts)
- Good move, Watts.
Good move!
- [Announcer] Oh my, we got a new leader.
It's Watts Davies!
(cheering)
- Go Watts.
Yeah!
- [Announcer] Scott McKenna grabs back the lead
but Watts Davies and Rodney Wells
are right there on his tail.
Two laps to go.
What a finish.
- Okay light bulb, here we go.
- Check your set, Rodney.
The rule is.
(shouts)
There aint no rules.
(groaning)
- [Announcer] Oh and Rodney Wells
is carred into the hay bails.
(shouting)
He looks okay.
- Get off!
- This is the greatest day of my life.
- [Kid] Yeah Rodney!
- [Announcer] Stop it from getting tossed.
Coming down to the last lap.
Who's going to Daytona?
Well we'll know in exactly 40 seconds.
(cheering)
- Come on!
(engine sputters)
(engine revs)
- Come on!
Come on, Watts!
- [Announcer] They come off the corner,
they're wheel to wheel.
They head for the chequered flag.
(cheering)
(energetic rock music)
- Yeah!
(laughing)
- Damn it!
- Where'd you learn how to drive like that?
- My dad taught me.
The best of the best.
(energetic pop rock music)
âª And I saw beautiful âª
âª The moment of my eyes âª
âª And I found beautiful âª
âª The moment of my life âª
âª Now I know beautiful âª
(cheering)
âª And I saw beautiful âª
- You did it, buddy.
- Yeah!
- You did it.
- We did it, dad.
(laughs)
(cheering)
Yeah!
- You are the victor!
