Line 21:
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: Lapchick The Mad Hungarian. ''Literally''. Franco, to a lesser extent. Also Ace "Mr. Guts" Preston in the Camaro Z-28, toward the end, as he tries to get through a traffic jam by going up on two wheels (while giving a rebel yell).
* [[Driving Into a Truck]]: One team uses this ploy to evade a police roadblock and make a pit stop.
* [[Dudley Do -Right Stops to Help]]: The car disguised as a police cruiser loses the race when it stops to help a pregnant lady giving birth while stuck on an L.A. freeway.
* [[Epic Race]]
* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Lapchick, Franco. And the British Benz team.
* [[Good Ol' Boy|Good Ol' Boys]]: The Camaro Z28 team. Also the Arizona state trooper.
* [[Hello Again Officer]]: The main racers are literally on a first name basis with their dogged pursuer.
* [[Hot Blooded]]: Franco's entire motivation.

[Barney squeals tires as they leave the parking lot] }}
* [[Recycled: theThe Series]]: ''Gumball 3000'' (only not played for laughs, it was a serious rally).
** Except for the ''[[Jackass (TV)|Jackass]]'' entry, perhaps.
* [[Right Under Their Noses]]: One of the teams evades a roadblock by driving into a truck.
* [[Running Gag]]: Several. Lapchick's craziness, Franco's womanizing, the Rolls-Royce...
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful]]: The Porsche 911 team relies on their feminine wiles to evade speeding tickets (or to get whatever else they need during the race). It also works quite well - repeatedly - on the [[Good Ol' Boy|Good Ol' Boys]] team in the Camaro Z28.
* [[Show Some Leg]]: See "Distracted By The Sexy" above.
* [[Toyota Tripwire]]: Lapchick gets doored.
* [[Vapor Trail]]: Happens accidentally to one team of racers.
* [[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story]]
* [[Wacky Racing]]
* [[Watch the Paint Job]]: One person enters the race by getting a job delivering a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. [[Hilarity Ensues|It doesn't end well]].
