      Only For Race Fans

      Gawleee . . . what a piece of kudzu. Terrible movie . . . terrible plot . . . terrible acting . . . terrible actors . . . great old racing footage.

      It says I need 10 lines to submit.

      OK . . . it's junk.

      The producer . . . and the lead actor . . . was an ego maniac.

      But, he portrayed himself as a jerk.

      Guess he thought he could make money with this anyway.

      Maybe only a "C" feature at the drive in theater.

      But, you can have fun . . . if you are an "old school" racer . . . watching it.

      Just hideous

      Lame plot, lousy acting, and hideously exploitative. All of the racing scenes, regardless of what is said, is all from the same Daytona race. Same crashes, same shots, over and over. How they got Fred Lorenzen to get in on this is beyond me. This is the worst movie with racing as a setting I have ever seen, and I've seen most of them. No surprise that most of these people never made another movie. Whoever wrote this should have been tied behind one of these cars and dragged around the track for about 500 miles. There is nothing good to say about any of the actors, editors, or anyone else. The music is horrible too, and plot is pathetically predictable. Throw the red flag on this one, and avoid it at all costs.
