A teenager looking to regain his self-respect and his relationship with his father finds the answer in an unexpected place -- go-kart racing -- in this family-friendly
drama.
Watts Davis (
Will Rothhaar) is a 14-year-old boy who has been nothing but trouble since the death of his mother. Feuding with his father
Vic (
Randy Quaid) and causing problems at school,
Watts has only one desire: to someday become a race-car driver. When
Watts discovers IKF go-kart racing, he sees he's finally found a way to start living his dream and mend fences with his dad, who was a go-kart champ in his youth. With the help of
Vic and fellow racer
Scott (
David Gallagher), as well as some unexpected moral support from
Dhalia (
Amanda De Martinis), a cute graffiti artist who has caught his eye,
Watts has his eye on the local IKF go-kart championships. But can
Watts beat
Rodney (
Joe Dinicol), the class bully who also happens to be a hotshot on the track?
Kart Racer also features an appearance by comedian
Harland Williams as
Zee, the proprietor of a local video-game arcade.
