0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Every day when you're walkin' down the street
0:00:04 > 0:00:07# Everybody that you meet
0:00:07 > 0:00:09# Has an original point of view
0:00:10 > 0:00:12# And I say, hey! Hey!
0:00:12 > 0:00:17# What a wonderful kind of day If we can learn to work and play
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# And get along with each other
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:23 > 0:00:26# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!
0:00:28 > 0:00:32# Get together and make things better by working together
0:00:32 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And comes from the heart
0:00:37 > 0:00:41# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hey, DW!
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- Hey!- Whoa!
0:01:01 > 0:01:02CRASH!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Oh, I missed again!
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Mom always says,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- "There's no shame in asking for help when you need it."- Help!
0:01:14 > 0:01:18You have to fly slower. Don't press so many times. Here, I'll show you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I said help, not take over.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Is that Cranky Bees?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Everyone plays it at the office.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Here, let me show you how to pop the balloons.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32What level is this? I've never seen wasps before.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Here, let me help you, dear. These games can be very frustrating.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Take that, you mangy drones! Oh, yeah, perfect landing!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Now it gets interesting.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48But sometimes instead of helping you figure something out,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50people end up doing it for you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52That's right, Mr Zeppelin.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56This game is for the birds, let's go outside.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Tell me this, class.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12When is a block of wood an experiment in engineering?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Ooh-ooh! When a mad scientist makes a flying robot out of it?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20No. I'm referring to the first annual Lakewood Derby.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Each of you will shape a block of wood into a race car
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- of your own design. - ALL: Whoa!- Awesome.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Your parents will need to help you with tools,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31but most of the work should be your own.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Then we'll race the cars to see which has the best
0:02:34 > 0:02:36aerodynamic design.
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- I can see it now - Buster Baxter, fastest car on the track.- No way.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- You're going to be eating my dust. - Sorry, but you're all going to lose.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51My dad owns Crosswire Motors, cars are in my blood.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Daddy, could you help me with my homework?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Sure. But if it's math, English, history or science,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07you might want to ask your mother.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I think it's something you know a thing or two about.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14We get to design our very own cars.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And then we get to race them in a derby.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20I remember doing a project just like this when I was your age.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26'Ha-ha! The kitchen table took a few lumps.'
0:03:26 > 0:03:28But I won the blue ribbon.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33After that, it was nothing but cars for me.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- So, you'll help me with the project?- You bet I will.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Putt-putt-putt.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44OK, here's my idea. I call it the Crossvette.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I gave it a pointy shape, because I thought
0:03:46 > 0:03:48that would make it go faster.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Oh! And it also has velvet massaging seats,
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- a sunroof and eight vanilla latte cup-holders.- Not bad at all.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58But maybe we should get some more ideas in the hopper,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02before we settle on a design.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06These, my dear, are some of the finest cars ever made.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09This is the 1949 Roycely Mark Six.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15And this one is the '61 Exton Benton. Talk about style.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Wow!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22But I think this might be the perfect car for you - the '73 Muscle Car.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Powerful, confident, it's got derby winner written all over it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33Well, if you think it'll win. OK, I like it.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- But it might be hard to draw. Could you help me?- With pleasure.
0:04:37 > 0:04:44Let's see, we'll need some graph paper, a ruler, a protractor...
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Ha-ha! I knew Buster would come up with something crazy.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Ooh, I like it. But can you actually build that?
0:04:54 > 0:04:58We have to build these? Aww.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Let's see yours, Muffy.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Cool.- Whoa! - It's called the Crossvette.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06How did you draw this?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08With a pen and ink.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12OK, my dad might have helped me a little.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18But it's still my idea. And it's still going to win.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24See? You shape the wood like that. Now you have a go, sweetheart.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Just be careful. You want it rounded, no sharp angles.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Ooh, not quite so deep in the centre. Watch that corner.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- Am I doing it all wrong?- No, no. It just takes a little practice.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Here, let me show you again.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48There are 16 more grades of sandpaper after this.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51This baby's going to be smooth as silk.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54My hand's getting tired.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I'll take over.- What should I do?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Why don't you watch my technique for a bit? You can give me a break later.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04You know, this is the exact same technique you'll use
0:06:04 > 0:06:08when you apply a high-end polymer buff coating to your first real car.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12All done.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Oh, OK. So, what's next?
0:06:17 > 0:06:23If you want this car to win, the weight has to be just right.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25See? Now it's too light.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Now it's too heavy.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Now it's too light.- Would it be OK if I went to check my e-mail?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Sure thing. Too heavy. Too light.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Heavy. Too light.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Check it out. - I like it. It's so you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It's not finished yet.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- How's the Crossvette coming? - Great, we're almost done.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Not that I've done very much. - A-ha! I knew it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You're getting your dad to do the whole project for you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- I could tell by the drawing. - That's not true, he's just...
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Well...
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Actually, it is true. But I don't want him to do it for me.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15- I want it to be my car.- So, just tell him. It's your assignment.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19You're right. I will! Thank you, Francine.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Oh, by the way, that flat windshield will produce drag and slow you down.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25You'll never win.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I'll just say, "Daddy, you've done a great job on this project.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36"But we have to let you go." Oh, no, too harsh.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Muffin, come here! You've got to see this.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42SHE SIGHS
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I built this course to see what sort of times we were getting.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48This baby's getting faster and faster. Watch.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Half a second off! Woo-hoo!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You're... You don't want my help any more?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It's just that Mr Ratburn said we have to do
0:08:02 > 0:08:04most of the work ourselves.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And I kind of want to.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09OK. I understand.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18- Hi, I'm interested in buying a car. - Here, just take any one you want.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Take 'em all, I'm not interested in selling cars any more.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I'm not even interested in driving them.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Hey, kid. Want to trade?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So, what do you think?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's... It's great, Daddy.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I've got some other homework to do.
0:08:44 > 0:08:50- Well, it's done. Want to come see it? - Can I see it in the morning?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52SHE YAWNS
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- I'm sleepy.- I added those cup-holders you wanted.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Couldn't find any velvet for the seats, though.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01That's OK. I'm sure it looks amazing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Thanks for all your help, Daddy.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I should thank you. It was the most fun I'd had in years.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Oh, I left the paint out.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I thought we could put another coat on right before the race tomorrow.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'll do it first thing in the morning.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Great. Good night, Princess.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Yup, it's perfect.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Ouch!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Huh?- Bailey!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48HAMMERS BANGING
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Oh! Hi, Daddy. I was just...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- We were...- You made another car?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04But this one's been tested for speed and durability.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- It's a guaranteed winner.- I know, but it's your car, not mine.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Well, Muffin, that's not exactly true.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16All I did was carve it and sand it and paint it and...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I guess you're right. I did sort of elbow my way in.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23But what do you think of this one?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Look, I even added the Crosswire Motors logo.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's terrific.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'm really proud of you, Muffin.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- All right, class. Are you ready to race?- ALL: Yes!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38That doesn't look anything like the drawing.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I made a few minor adjustments.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42We'll race three at a time.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46And then race the winners against each other until we have a champion.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Round one will be Barnes, Baxter, Crosswire.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Ready, set, go!
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- Yes!- Muffy is the winner of round one. Next up.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06We are now ready for our grand finale.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11Our three finalists are Lundgren, Frensky and Crosswire.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Good luck, Francine.- You, too.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Go!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20THEY CHEER
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- 'Atta boy, George! - Congratulations, George.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28You are the first Lakewood Derby champion.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29HORN BLARES
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Nice job. I guess you Crosswires really do have cars in your blood.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36And it was neck and neck.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39But then George won by this teeny-weeny bit,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42but I still got a second-place ribbon.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I bet if we had used your car, we would have won.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Guess I'll just have to enter it in my own race someday.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54In the meantime, why don't we go for a spin in a real car?
