Looks like maybe a cool movie about the sport we love. Can't wait to see it and how well it does.

Jr Honeycut. Thats the moniker they give this guy? I would hope they would have picked it like a porn star.The name of your first dog and the street you grew up on. I would be Whitey Palmer and that sounds better than that breakfast cereal name!

Boomer Honeycutt is a drag racer. His lone quest is to escape his father's shadow and become the next Classic Gear Jammers Champion. After separating from his fiancée Tina, Boomer takes refuge sleeping in his van. He awakes after a rough night out to find an eleven-year-old boy on the doorstep and a note from his high school sweetheart welcoming him to fatherhood. Set against the backdrop of stick-shift drag racing in the heart of the South, this is a story about fathers and sons, teaching each other what it takes to be a man.

That part sounds great, but I could do without the beer-swilling, helmet-throwing redneckisms I saw in the trailer. They'd be better off doing a story on Chip Johnson's life -- got the whole rags to ri....er... well, World Champ thing, the family life story, hardship, blahblahblah, all with the southern twang, but without all the redneck.

Now if only he drove a stick.

Looks like could be a good movie, From the trailer looks like may be pretty realistic.
It's about stick cars I love it,hope it has the right sound playing for the stick cars not sound from automatics,high winding sticks on movie theater sound would be awwwesome. It would have to have Mike Boyles and good ol charlie brown to make it complete though.

And you should see Boyles' car now! Got it repainted this summer... still has the same look and re-lettered the same, it just looks FRESH. Absolutely gorgeous.

I can't wait to see it.
That said, I laugh when I read you guys saying you hope it brings in the crowds! Will you complain that the pits are too full and you can't even get to the lanes in time? The stands are so full your family has no seating? LOL!

What am I talking about? Remember wishing a few years ago "if only the factories would get involved again" "win on Sunday, sell on Monday, it would be so cool"
Now the factories ARE involved...and all I see is consistent bitching and whining!
I can see it now, "the 2015 gator's SUCKED! the pits were too crowded and the stands were so full you couldn't get a seat, I had to go to my toterhome to sit down"! LOL!

I say more factory involvement the better (even if it's not my brand and yes I'm talking to the chevy whiners) LOL!
I also say, the more drag movies the better....even to the detriment of overfull stands/pits!
