Hard Drivin' (the Saturday Morning Cartoon Show)

(1 / 1)


Main Characters:

	John:  Race Car Driver in his late twenties;
	Terry: 	Teenage Boy, on the pit crew
	Jennifer: Teenage Girl, on the pit crew

The series takes place during summer vacation which is why the
teenagers are not in school.

The Hard Drivin' team goes around the country competing in auto races.

The auto races are not the focus of the show, but merely the backdrop
because the team has adventures and battle bad guys. Like drug dealers.
	
When things get really desperate John makes his way to an arcade with
a Hard Drivin' Cockpit Game. He gets in it, starts it up, and recites a 
magic phrase. 

The Hard Drivin' Game is transformed into a real, jet powered car which
John drives out through a wall of the arcade that has opened for him.

Every show is resolved this way. There are lots of arcades, so there can be
lots of ways for the Hard Drivin' car to make its exit.

Most of the time John will be the hero but sometimes Terry or Jennifer will
be the one. (It is especially important that Jennifer gets to do it, too.)
