From the beginning of this episode everything is already predictable. Oh that Todd! He pulls over at a racetrack with a ridiculous dreamy expression on his face . Oh he must race and fulfill a dream that Buz never knew about. With new spark plugs he jumps in for the stock class and of course is noticed by a racing team family and is asked to drive their Skankalini in the formula one race. Of course our hero Todd gets to mug for the camera, make prophetic statements and wear his stale sport coat. I'm glad he doesn't win, that would have been too much. Todd is a dork who looks and acts like someone who would have been better suited driving a Corvair and touting it's superior balance, precision handling and state of the art construction.....Clunk. An excellent guest cast wasted on another old story, different theme. And where did they find that combo playing in the bar? Okay Todd, do your best Elvis and jump up and sing "I've gotta be me".
