Other characters that I have hazy recollections of:
1. A lumberjack who drove a car which was
a hollowed-out tree. (A bear as a
sidekick?).
2. Two cavemen in a stone car; they hit each
other on the head alternately as they
were racing.
This is all I can remember, perhaps this info
will act as a catalyst for someone else to fill in
names and other details.jgw@rabbit.UUCP (Jay G. Wilpon) (07/21/84)

The lumberjack's name was Rufus Roughcut and his sidekick was a beaver. His car was the Slashmobile, I think. The two neanderthals were the Slag Brothers in the Bouldermobile. It wasn't the Mob-Hill Gang, but the Ant Hill Mob who along with Penelope Pitstop were leftover from the Perils of Penelope Pitstop. (The Ant Hill Mob were her bodyguards) Dave Smith

As I recall, she got her own series later (or maybe it was first). I remember on scene where she had to repair her car : took out all the parts, put in a hairpin and drove on. 4. The Anthill Mob -- a group of midget gangster sterotypes who drove some sort of 1920's looking car. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Nolan ...decvax!mcnc!ncsu!ncrcae!usceast!ted 6536 Brookside Circle ...akgua!usceast!ted Columbia, SC 29206 ("We pray for one last landing on the globe that gave us birth..") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, came after the Wacky Races. The Ant-Hill Mob and Penelope Pitstop, and of course Dick Dastardly (and Muttly) were so famous that they got their own show!! Later!!

Does anybody out there know who was who in H-B's "Wacky Races"..? We've managed to establish that Dick Dastardly was in car double-zero and that the Boulder Brothers had car number 2 (the boulder mobile..?) Thanks in advance... Yours. Anthony Flynn "Activate dragon-power..."

(I think!!) Incidently, weren't the Boulder Brothers called Rock and Gravel? Cheers, Dave Webb
ramsay@kcl-cs.UUCP (ZNAC440) (11/07/85)
AHA!!! It was the Creepy Coupe that the Gruesome Twosome drove!! The Anthill Mob drove Chug-a-Boom.(sp?) Anyone know what Penelope (Hailp! Hailp!) Pitstop's car was called? That series came up with such wonderful lines. The one of the Anthill Mob (All based heavily on the Seven Dwarfs) who was always laughing: "Aw, this is terrible. Penelope's gonna crash!" (It loses something, I realise, without the voice.) "Okay youse mugs...." By the by - who can name the Anthill Mob? (There's a challenge) "And sneaking along last..."
djw1@ukc.UUCP (D.J.Webb) (11/08/85)
After asking around, I have managed to put together the following starting order Car No. Who Car name 00 Dastardly and Muttley 1 Rock and Gravel Bouldermobile 2 Gruesome Twosome Creepy Coupe 3 Prof Pat Pending Convert-o-mobile 4 Red Max Crimson Haybaler 5 Penelope Pitstop Glamour Puss 6 Peter Perfect Turbo Terrific 7 Ant Hill Mob Bullet Proof Bomb Cars eight nine and ten were the Army Surplus Special, Arkansas Chug-a-bug and the Buzz-saw Special we think, but we can't remember the order. Does anyone have any ideas? Who was in the last three? Incidently, I think the Ant Hill Mobs car was called Chug-a-boom in the Perils of Penelope Pitstop. Cheers, Dave Webb
