Dennis Race 2000

Dennis Race 2000 is the forty sixth episode from Season 1.

Plot
Dennis is riding his bike with Ruff following, meanwhile Margaret rides her bike with Molly in the front seat. Dennis and Margaret crash into each other, sending each other flying, and breaking their bikes in the process. Margaret found herself in a yard with a sprinkler, while Dennis finds himself in a pile of trash. They both have a row about who's to blame for their accident. Dennis calls Molly stupid, while Margaret calls Ruff no-good.

After Dennis says that guys can drive better than girls, Margaret decides to settle their argument with a race. Dennis doesn't think it'll work because their bikes are broken. Dennis got another idea; make soap box racers. While in the garage, Joey arrives, and Dennis explains to him that they're going to build a go-kart, starting with a sled. Joey agrees to help.

Dennis and Joey add wheels to the kart. Dennis decides to use a trash can, so he decides to borrow one from Mr. Wilson. While Mr. Wilson takes the garbage out, he doesn't notice until too late that the trash can is gone. After Dennis and Joey put the trash can on the kart, they add a flashlight, and the only thing left is a steering wheel. Dennis uses Ruff's dish as a steering wheel, little knowing Ruff's food was still in there.

At the top of the hill, Dennis says that Margaret chickened out.... or so he thought. Margaret and Gina have arrived with their soap box racer, literally made out of boxes of washing detergent. Dennis claims that go-karts aren't made of soap boxes, only for Margaret to say hers is and that they would be having a soap box race. Gina reminds Margaret that Dennis' and Joey's go-kart is made of junk.

Dennis then shows the girls their racing route; Go down to the lumber mill, pass the park, go to the ice house, finish at Mr. Wilson's house. Margaret wants to get the race over with because Mrs. Wade still has laundry to do and the soap boxes are still full, to which Dennis laughs at. Then, the two teams wait until 1 o'clock. As soon as the clock struck one, the race was on.

Shortly after Joey jumps into Dennis' racer, Margaret and Gina bump Dennis and Joey's racer going the wrong way, crashing through a pile of trash. Next, they barely miss PeeBee, who is reading a book about sidestepping. Margaret and Gina come up and argue that Dennis and Joey took a shortcut, while Dennis argues that Margaret played bumper cars. Next, the two teams race through a market, breaking a fruit stall. Margaret and Gina then wear some fruit as a hat.

Meanwhile, Ruff is still looking for his food, while Dennis and Joey drive past him. Ruff jumps in, only to take his dish back. With no steering wheel, Dennis and Joey spin out, prompting Margaret and Gina to pass. After going through some roadwork, the two karts fly through the air. Once Dennis and Joey land, the racer loses the flashlight, trash can, and wheels, and all that's left of it is the sled.

Thanks to all the detergent on the road, Dennis and Joey pass Margaret and Gina. As the two karts approach Mr. Wilson's place, the sled conks out, and Margaret and Gina pass them, thus winning the race. Dennis blames Ruff for making him and Joey lose by taking their steering wheel (which was actually his dish). After Dennis calls Margaret a sore winner, Joey then reveals that he has soap in his mouth, literally.
