Plot[]
While exploring the Big Town, Brum finds a boy trying to go fast in his wheelchair. He follows the boy as the two start racing each other. Later, Brum gets an idea and leads the boy to a go karting track. Brum finds the owner of the karts, who tells him one racer did not show up, leaving one of the karts vacant. He asks the kart owner if the boy could use it and he agrees, making the boy excited. Brum and the boy race each other on the track and both prove to be fast enough to impresses the kart owner and get the boy into the big race. Soon, it was time for the race and the boy starts being behind, but soon manages to catch up and win. A celebration is held where the boy is given a trophy and pops open a bottle of champs' pop, of which the cork flies into Brum's rear seat. The boy thanks Brum, after which Brum returns to the museum where the museum owner finds the cork.
