Pole Position - Opening

Here is the opening to a 80's cartoon called Pole Position, based off the old arcade game from Namco (??wtf??).

I found this VHS with five episodes in a thrift store so I might upload some episodes.

The one character that got me hooked on this show is Kuma. Daisy's pet , Kuma , which according to Wikipedia , is a genetic creation and is a strange cross between a raccoon and a monkey (though the name "Kuma" is derived from the Japanese word for "bear"). Kuma is voiced by Marilyn Schreffler. Before looking it up on Wikipedia , I was wondering if because of the hands and feet that it was an Australian possum or something. For years I thought it was some odd breed of cat. Whatever , it's cute.

Ah thanks cool!

Kinda bizarre neither of them are driving an F-1 car though considering that's what you drove in Pole Position.

No right audio-channel, xBeatrushx ..... try copying left to right if no right-side exists....

@apossumsbestfriend Turned out Kuma was a genetically engineered something-or-other.

@MarioFreek45 That would have been a great tie in to the video game.

@dillzboy The Internet and markets changed. I grew up watching '80s and early '90s toons so I can relate.

David Coburn's 1st cartoon voice role. He would later voice Donie Wahlberg & Nikko (NKOTB cartoon) & Captain Planet (The power is yours).
