00:23Drink up your milk, Chairman.
00:25I can't, Mr. Peabody. I'm racing my push cart in an hour.
00:28But what has that got to do with milk?
00:30Well, I don't like to drink when I drive.
00:32I'll tell you what. You drink your milk and I'll give you an experience in driving.
00:35It's a deal.
00:37I wiped off Sherman's mustache and then set the way back in place for the state of Indiana in the
00:41year 1910.
00:42Who are we going to meet, Mr. Peabody?
00:44The man who won the first Indianapolis auto race, Barnaby Victor.
00:48We entered the way back and arrived at the speedway as the race was about to get underway.
00:52Two ancient vehicles stood idling at the starting line.
00:54Which car belongs to Barnaby Victor, Mr. Peabody?
00:57The one without wheels, Sherman.
00:58Mr. Victor, don't you know your car hasn't got wheels?
01:01That's all right, sonny. It doesn't have any gas either.
01:04And sure enough, his machine fell silent.
01:06How do you expect to win the race?
01:08I don't. Not with Carmen Dioxide running against me.
01:11Carmen Dioxide was Spain's most famous racer.
01:14A man who would stop at nothing to win a race.
01:17Win as the ass, senor loser.
01:19Golly, Mr. Peabody. You said Barnaby Victor would win this race.
01:22And so he shall, Sherman. We must put tires on the car and refill the gas tank.
01:26But there's no time. The starter's ready to wave the flag.
01:29Well, I took care of that by switching flags.
01:31Instead of the usual one, he waved a flag bearing the words,
01:34Hooray for Cornwallis.
01:36Police arrested him as a radical, and the track sent out for another starter.
01:40Even though the delay was slight, it enabled us to complete our tasks.
01:44All set to go, Mr. Victor.
01:45He was all set to go, all right, but in the wrong direction.
01:48You go that way, Barnaby.
01:50Are you sure?
01:51Trust me, won't you?
01:53The flag was dropped, and the two cars sped off on the first of 500 laps.
01:59Barnaby Victor opened up an early lead, one that lasted exactly one lap.
02:03He's coming into the pit, Mr. Peabody.
02:05Forget something, Barnaby?
02:07Sure did. I forgot the ignition key. I had it a minute ago.
02:11You mean the key that starts the car?
02:13That's the one.
02:14But, Mr. Victor, you started your car. It's running now.
02:17Is that the key in the ignition hole there?
02:20Oh, yeah, there it is. Thanks for finding it for me.
02:24You sure he's gonna win, Mr. Peabody?
02:27Instead of answering, I focused a pair of field glasses on the track.
02:30Carbon dioxide had not only gone into the lead, he was making preparations not to lose it.
02:34What's carbon dioxide up to now?
02:36He pulled his car to a stop and painted a view of the Grand Canyon on a retaining wall on
02:40the far turn, and then he took off.
02:42He must be crazy.
02:43Hmm, like a fox. When Barnaby Vector saw the picture of the Grand Canyon, he thought he was at a
02:48drive-in movie and shot his motor off.
02:51Oh, he'll lose for sure now.
02:53No, he won't.
02:54I grabbed a bucket of paint, dashed through the wall, and splashed it against it.
02:58In black letters came the words, THE END.
03:01Barnaby assumed the show was over and resumed racing.
03:04Soon, he had not only caught up, but was out in front.
03:07Now if he can only hold the lead.
03:08But he didn't.
03:11Dioxide turned on a siren, put on a policeman's uniform, and forced Barnaby to stop.
03:15He then gave him a ticket for speeding.
03:17By the time we got there, Dioxide had resumed racing.
03:20Get going, Mr. Victor!
03:22Can't, Sonny.
03:23Why not?
03:23That officer took my license away.
03:26There was no time to argue. The race was almost over.
03:28Quick, Sherman, pretend you're feeling faint.
03:30Huh?
03:31A fainting spell. Have one.
03:32Oh, oh, I feel dizzy.
03:35Quick, we must get this poor boy to a hospital.
03:37But I don't have a license.
03:39You don't need one.
03:40We got into the car and roared off.
03:43Which way to the hospital?
03:45Just keep going. I'll tell you when to stop.
03:48Even with his foot down to the floorboards, Victor's car was not gaining on Dioxide.
03:53It was then I noticed the speedometer only went as high as 50.
03:56So I simply broke the glass and pushed the needle.
04:00Naturally, the car went faster.
04:02As we went into the last lap, we forged ahead.
04:05Mr. Peabody, our gas tank, it reads empty.
04:07And that wasn't our only concern.
04:10Carmin Dioxide had lit a stick of TNT and threw it into our auto.
04:14Put it out, Mr. Peabody.
04:15Ah, but instead of doing so, I let it fly in back of us.
04:19The explosion occurred just as we ran completely out of gas.
04:23But the shockwave picked us up and thrust us across the finish line.
04:27Victorious.
04:29Barnaby Victor had won the race and carbon dioxide was banned from racing.
04:33Did Mr. Victor ever race again?
04:35No, Sherman.
04:36As soon as he crossed the finish line, he headed for a gold mine he owned in the hills and
04:40was never seen again.
04:41How come?
04:42Well, look, Sherman, the road only goes one way.
04:45And he never came out of that hole in the ground?
04:47That's right.
04:48Sherman, you are now looking at a one-track mine.
