Time for the popcorn...:thumbsup:
Watched one about a moonshiner earlier..

Bout time they put on the good ones...

Grand Prix is definitely a classic! I'll have to flip on the DVD... the disc is already in.:thumbsup:

I saw TCM that night. Every once in a while they'll have race night themes.
I saw "the BIG WHEEL" with Mickey Rooney last time.. and some Pat O'Brien race movie called "Indianapolis" or something like that... both were form the late 30's or early 40's.
Fun to watch!

I love Grand Prix. Jessica Walters is real dish in that one

Paul Newman's "Winning" also a good movie.

I believe there is a slot car track in Grand Prix. That movie is filled with famous actors and drivers.

The ultimate slot car movie is an Anthony Hopkins film from 1992 called "The Efficiency Expert" ... it's about this this guy who comes to a company town in Austrialia to revamp their processes... and the main event in the town is the Saturday night slot car races.... Netflix has it. They show one race scene that must run about 15 mins.


here's a link to some Grand Prix DVD site....http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.putgrandprixondvd.com/graphics/AronPat.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.putgrandprixondvd.com/defaultorig.asp&h=216&w=281&sz=20&hl=en&start=4&um=1&tbnid=qIQfCZSHHII-iM:&tbnh=88&tbnw=114&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djessica%2Bwalters%2BGrand%2Bprix%26um %3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG
