Default Re: Drag racing movie filmed in NC

I have passed a few e-mails with the actor that plays Boomer. He is also the writer and one of the producers. His name is Randy Spence http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1267108/
His real father (Who I believe is really named Rossco) is the owner of that blue Nova and he (Randy) has raced it himself. I believe that his dad is a regular with that car in the Classic Gear Jammers. So I think that this movie is going to be pretty right on being that it is being made by real drag racers.
I think that this movie is going to be the Two Lane Blacktop of this Century. I think Randy and crew have a great handle on this deal.
I lived in Radford Va for two years in 92-94. I miss the heck out of those "Rednecks" Greatest people I ever had in my life. I am going to end up back there in a couple of years. Wish I never left.
