This film is also known as "Kid Speed" (and labelled as such in IMDb) but its original title is as named above.

Usually we set the original title the same as IMDB title, and the alternarive one as US title ;)

That's why I posted the original title image. On my DVD it is called "The Four-Wheeled Terror".

We could change that to "Kid Speed" to correspond wit IMDb, or, my preference in this case, add an 'aka'. I will do that -- let me know what you think about it.

In other movies that had multiple titles I used a " / " between the two titles (e.g. when there was an original title and two english/us titles).
I guess that your DVD is the UK version, but since this movie seems to be US-made it was maybe released as "kid speed" there.
In this case we have:
- US original title "kid speed"
- US alternative title "The Four Wheel Terror"
- UK title "The Four Wheeled Terror"
So we could put "Kid speed" as original title and "The Four Wheel(ed) Terror" as US title?

Okay, I put "Kid Speed" as original, and "The Four-Wheeled Terror" as alternative.

One imdb comment says the racetrack is in California but has no other details. Probably not genuine race footage, but staged for camera?? What does RAJO in background of /vehicle_11939.html mean?? (There was a Rajo car firm - Link to "en.wikipedia.org" but it doesn't look a convincing idea).

Hum, let's tide the mess.

This was the most entertaining of the pre 1925 movies I've watched thus far. I still didn't watch the entire thing, so this is what I gathered from it:
A guy and his buddy are building a race car. There are some pretty decent gags involving dragging the police chief's bed around and tossing the chief down a hill.
Then race day comes along and some big fat dude is saying that if he wins the race, he wins the protagonist's girlfriend. I don't know how that works, and I didn't rewind to figure it out. But the fat guy seems to have some sway and people along the course create obstacles, which our man dodges, of course, and ultimately wins the race and kisses the girl.
