"Holy Crap Batman, It Went Bang, Pow, Zonk!"

 

Plot Summary for Batman Begins 400

Forty Three Cup cars enjoying a Sunday drive around the multi-grooved Michigan Speedway, when all of the sudden...Pow, Zap, Boom! A car disappears from the track. A few laps later, it happens again and again.

We now switch to Commissioner Gordon's office....

Where he and Chief O'Hara would work out exactly which villain they were to face in this week's episode. Gordon would press a button on the Batphone and it would cut to Wayne Manor where faithful butler Alfred would answer the phone and say a line like "I'll just get him for you, sir." Alfred would usually come across Master Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson talking with Aunt Harriet and would make up an excuse for them to answer the Batphone. Bruce Wayne then usually excused himself from Aunt Harriet and they rushed off to hear the diabolical scheme.

Bruce Wayne says:... Yes, Commissioner...what is it?

Batman, they've come back and cars are vanishing from the speedway!

You Don't mean?.....Bruce replies with concern

Yes Batman, I'm afraid it's true...it's the Rapper!

We'll be right there!.......as Bruce summons his young ward

After pushing back the head of Shakespeare that sat on the desk in Bruce Wayne's office and which concealed a button that opened a bookcase revealing two poles. Batman and Robin would slide down the poles to the Batcave where after colourful starting titles jump into the Batmobile, where Robin would say "Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed" and Batman would respond "Roger, ready to move out" and would race off out of the cave at high speeds.

Who is the Rapper?.....No, it's not P Diddy or Hammer-time...and shouldn't there be the letter "C" in front of the word rap?

It's the dreaded hot dog wrapper...that attaches itself over the front grill on Cup cars and makes them overheat, which makes the engine go...Pow, Bang, Zoom... and then the car leaves the track with a blown motor!

It happens every year...and so, these drivers have to slip out of the draft just enough to blow the wrappers off the front grill. It's the same feeling you get, when you pull out to pass a tractor-trailer.

I'm sure that the Riddler, The Joker, and Egghead (Larry Mac, DW, and that other guy in the Fox Booth) will mention it several times.

Anybody, layin' any cash down betting Hammond's in costume Sunday?
