Since there's already a thread of the same name, I just made it clear that this thread is for reviews. Also among the episodes I've saved on that DVD. Fantastic! I'm really interested in all the car-racing episodes, and this was the best! Still hoping for an F1 episode though...

Another one of the best episodes! I loved the Phantom Racer, he was really cool looking!

I love this episode! Cool villain. Love how Scooby eats a ice cream sunday and how Shaggy drinks a malt. Then how Scooby does like Fred Flintstone when they need the car to go faster LOL

I love this episode and monster, but I lost my action figure.

Really enjoy this one. The race setting was nice and different, plus when Conover came in trying to act daze, it legitimately spooked me out, especially on rewatch, since I forget that part. I also really liked The Phantom Racer's design quite a bit, and wish I could get my hands on his action-figure. That's life for you.

Yet another one of my favorites of the season. Off the top of my head, it's by far the best sports episode in my mind, needless to say easily the best racing episode. The Phantom Racer is an amazing villain

Definitely one of the greatest sports themed episodes, I agree. Like just about all of Season 2 it has a real creepy atmosphere - largely thanks to the striking look and sound of the Phantom Racer. The scene where the missing driver returned scared me half to death when I first watched this ep.

SPOILER
The whole repainting thing would later become a trope, but I think this was the first episode to do that.

Plot: The very first racing mystery was an interesting one. I don't consider it top-tier, but it was surely a fresh idea. The setting was cool, and especially the junkyard was really spooky. PS: I decided to merge the plot and set up categories into one single category because I dont have much to say for some episodes. 7/10
Monster: The phantom racer was a solid villain. I would have given him a perfect ten design-wise, but his helmet made him look a little bit silly. His car was awesome, though i wanna drive that beast. 9.5/10
Final Score:8.2/10
