Push Cart Derby

Description

Three push cart drivers are seen racing along a road while spectators are standing on both sides of the road observing the race. A man dressed in a suit with arms outstretched is seen cherring on the winner as he approached the finish line.

The carts have been clocked at up to 60 miles per hour on a downhill homestretch.
