That movie inspired us to go to the west coast with the race car and $320 in our pockets (no plastic back then). We had to win something to get back home.

Based on Ed's review I guess I'll have to skip it...I must be sheltered because I had to google what LGBT means...glad I managed to miss it all these years....besides, I'm more of a Bullitt kind of guy, always get a kick out of them having trouble with the Charger always catching the Mustang...but what a car chase scene, almost as good as the one in "Ronin".

I have seen some of the other movies that were listed below and like older movies. The movies made today are so far away from what is possible in the real world or just plain stupid ( IE Fast and the Furious or as I call it The slow and rediculously ugly). I was a very very young kid when this movie came out and had never heard of it untill earlier this year. I saw it was on and when I read the discription and it said drag racing was involved I was hooked. There are very few movies that involve our sport so when I see one that is even remotely linked to it I usually try and watch it. I liked it and was following along but forgot to hit the button to record it on the DVR. The second time same thing. I get up and start my day at 4-5 AM most days so a movie that starts at 10 PM or later is hard for me to watch and stay awake no matter how good it is. I thought it was along the lines of all of the movies of that era in respect to how they were made and the cameras and special effects of the time. I am going to try and see If I can buy it online somewhere. I am curious to see which one made it accross the county first and got the other ones car.

Love the rock crusher whine. Side note is that the guy I bought my M22 from many years ago sold it to me real cheap cuz it whined. Sold it for a whole bunch more than I paid for it a few years ago lol.

Did you know the '55 Chevy was the same car used in American Graffiti?
I didn't know there were entire movies on YouTube. Interesting..
