The Best Episodes of Wacky Races
Last Updated: Nov 27, 2018
The Wacky Races are a series of car competitions in which 11 racers race in locations throughout North America. The rules are extremely lax and allow for almost any vehicle design, power system and a wide range of tactics like combat and shortcuts.
