Race Card #91-That thing looks downright purty now ya'll.

When I first saw the photos the film company sent me of Tom Cruise's car for his up coming movie I thought, "What were you guys thinkin'?!? And GREEN no less!"

I thought it was one of the ugliest paint jobs I had ever seen on a stock car but it began to grow on me. The fact that I got to met Tom Cruise, Robert Duval, Waylon Jennings and June Carter Cash because of it made it look some better. But by the time I had built and got paid for three radio control versions of it for Tom and Rick Hendricks and his son I began to think it was downright lovely.

Here's my 1/25 version of my 1/10 version of Tom's 1/1 version of his DOT stocker.

How did June Carter Cash get mixed up with that bunch?

Robert Duvall and Waylon got together when Duvall made a movie that Waylon helped on the music with. They hit it off and remained good friends. Waylon heard about the "wrap" party for DOT and they were passing through and they all layed over at CHarlotte and came to the party. Waylon and Johnny borrowed some guitars from the band that was there and did about a 45 set. I'm standing between Jesse Colter and June Carter Cash watching their men throw down on stage and drinking Tom Cruise's Cokes. It don't get any better than that. LOL
What a party, getting to hear those two on stage like that must have been something. rr
