How do you get a turtle to go in a race?

First off, you have to enter you turtle in the race. Second, place your turtle in/on the starting gate/starting block (whichever it happens to be) and wait for the signal to "go". When you hear or see the signal, you let go of your turtle and let him/her race to the finish! If your turtle does not move, then try bribing it with a piece of lettuce or its favorite food. If it still does not move, then you probably should have practiced/prepared more for the race. Hope this helps!
