Hey everyone, I'm hoping you can help me deal with some OCD!

 

In my youth (the 1980s), I remember seeing an animated film (I think it was anime, but I'm not 100% sure) that was a racing movie where it was (I think) cross country as opposed to on a specific track.  I don't believe it was a "death rally" in that it was a race to a finish line (not to the death), and it seemed like there were a variety of acceptable vehicle types. 

 

 

 

There are two scenes that I vaguely recall:

 

One was a a vehicle that basically started hovering and spinning very, very quickly, using his/her vehicle as a giant drill to burrow through a mountain for a shortcut.

 

The other (and I'm hoping it was even from the same show!) was a racer in a boat that gets crushed between two object... either other boats or possibly torpedoes (this memory is a bit hazier than the previous).

 

 

I'd peg it as sort of the late 70s to mid 80s animation style.  I think it was a movie (it seemed longish), but maybe it was an episode of a particular show (or even a series).

 

Thanks!

 

Allan

I don't thiiiiiiiiiiink so (taking a quick peek at Wacky Races).

 

A friend suggested maybe a MASK episode (which I did see sporadic episodes of), and watching one that was a bit of a race makes me go "Hmmm, this seems close"

 

The animation style seems close, but it's possible I'm getting some interference in my memory lol.

 

Haha.  This is silly but fun XD

A friend of mine suggested Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors too.  I'll have to look at some footage from the actual show.  Alas haha.

 

Thanks though!

 

My concern is that it might be something from the 70s that I just didn't watch until years after it came out.

It wasn't THE episode I was thinking of, but MASK's animation style really struck a familiar chord.  Though I do remember watching MASK so.... hahaha.

Watching the first episode of Pole Position makes it probably the most likely candidate at this point!  I'll have to watch these sometime XD
