And I beat a Stocker two events in a row and he wouldn't even look at me the first time, much less the second time. That is the extreme, but some do take it pretty hard!

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. ![]() |

I'm not much of a movie goer, in fact the last 3 movies I attended were Rocky, Saving Private Benjamine and I just took my 81 year young Dad to see True Grit. I'm bringing the whole family to watch this one. My Dad, my wife, our 5 kid's and their spouse's along with the 12 grandkids. I wonder how much the popcorn bill will be? lol

The "real" wheels-up launches should be a draw to car enthusiasts!
Overall, it should stir positive interest in legal drag racing. |

![]() ![]() I suppose there must be some amount of drama to sell movies. I just hope the facts of bracket racing are not blurred and exagerated like NASCAR was in "Days of Blunder"....er.. I mean thunder. One frame the car is clean...the next frame the car is filthy..then clean...then dirty...and so on.....LOL

The trailer I saw made me think all "Days of Thunder all over again". I'm from Oklahoma, and I don't know anybody with necks that red.

I really hate to say this but that's actually a pretty typical shot of farmingtpn dragway...I would have to say after being a part of plenty of bracket races at the farm that's a pretty dead on portayal of a typical scene during a bracket race and there is no too red in nc .....
