I was all ready to hate this film just because this type of film has been done many a time before, a driving competition done by the adults for teens to make them drive more carefully, but this film gets major thumbs up by just adding the most goofy actiing, stilted dialog, and, the best yet, my main man, John Galvarro (of Drug Addiction and Are You Ready For Marriage? fame appearing in the worst ever blonde hairjob! I didn't recognize him at first, but you just can't forget that voice. Anyways, this film is hilariously bad actually and is a MUST SEE on this site!
