Problem with the plot

Was there any reason to have everyone race the same day, especially if the whole punch card system was in place?

Why would they be required to be on the move simultaneously, if they were going to time everyone individually and separately anyway? Wouldn't that kind of mess just get in the way of fairness (for example, by introducing queuing to the proceedings, that can affect the times)?

I mean, couldn't they simply time everyone separately, on different days, and then see, who did it the fastest?

I kinda hate that we never got to see anyone's times. I wanted to know how different Seymour's time was to the fake priest's times, for example.

Also, isn't the whole 'equalizer' thing with the brawl and the roadblock and whatnot, kind of defeating the purpose anyway? What kind of RACE is it, if everyone is basically equalized at one point? They could have friggin' WALKED there, as long as they get there before the road block is cleared. It didn't matter who got there fast, or how fast they got there, because basically, at that point, everyone's time reset. They should have punched the cards right there, and punched again when they left, and introduced the 5-minute intervals again (for fairness and accuracy).

What's the point of making sure they all arrive pretty much simultaneously, especially if the whole punch card system is in place - what's the whole point of the punch cards, if a) the movie makes sure they all are equalized near the end and thus arrive pretty much at the same time and b) if the FASTEST RUNNER wins anyway?

They should never have introduced the whole punch card system, but just put everyone to leave at the same time from the same line, and stated: "Whoever gets there first, by any means they can figure out, even by running, wins!", and then just painted a line on the asphalt, and whoever crosses it first, wins.

The punch card has ABSOLUTELY NO MEANING if the fastest runner wins at the end.

If "I was here first" is how they win, then WHY SHOULD THEY NEED TO PUNCH THE CARD AT ALL?

So the Lamborghini hags won, but who was second? Who was third? By how many seconds was the difference? It's like everyone stopped caring at that point.

Also, why isn't the victor celebrated?

Plus, what was the prize for winning, the whole point of the race (and thus, the movie)? Uh.. nothing? NOTHING happened, when the hag punched the card? Was she even declared a winner? Did she receive champagne and a bag of money? Was she declared to be the best racer on the planet? Did she break a record? (I have to admit, I didn't pay full attention at the end, because it was so stupid and illogical, so some of these might have happened, but it was surely under-emphazised, because I didn't even notice it)

What's the point of winning, if THAT is all you get - a crowd focusing on someone else, and not caring about your win at all, and you not getting any recognition, prestige, money, prize, attention, or even a friggin' trophy, diploma or declaration of your win.

By the way, dogs shouldn't be "babied", and what the poodle woman did (and also, what Captain Chaos did) was actually detrimental to the poodle, psychologically speaking. Well, 'Dog Whisperer' didn't exist yet as a TV show, but people should still know about dog psychology before getting a dog.

I am amazed that Kennels and other places will SELL people dogs without first making sure they understand at least the BASICS OF DOG PSYCHOLOGY (it's very different from human psychology), and that they know that dogs should ABSOLUTELY NOT BE "BABIED".

But women think of dogs as small babies, because they have constant baby rabies that MUST be satisfied by some way, if they can't have their own. Once their own kids grow beyond 2 years of age, women lose interest and start wanting 'more babies'. Women would want an 'eternal baby' if they could have it.

So EVERYTHING becomes a replacement for a 'baby', women see the world like The Terminator, except that their targeting system is constantly looking for "things to "baby"" (yes, it's so bad that the word 'baby' has become a friggin' VERB!). A dog! A cat! A teddy bear! A too-old kid! A porcelain giraffe! It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can be 'BABIED'.

And to heck with the psychology or actual NEEDS a of said 'babying target'. If a dog needs a strong pack leader and lots of exercize, fúck that - I am keeping the dog in my bag and force it to wear hats and 'shoes', because it LOOKS SO CUTE and I want to 'BABY'! Then I pamper and pamper it and when the dog becomes neurotic and psychotic, I can't understand it, because I gave it so much llloooooooove (which is just emotional lust that you selfishly satisfied by another living being's expense without even finding out what the 'target' would really need) it! It's my BABY! (It's NOT. Get over it.)

I really don't want to ever incarnate to a woman's body.. if I ever become like that, just shoot me in the neck, please.
