That's some good editing there. Hollywood just cracks me up the way they depict the racing. LoL Shifting on an oval? And things like "I'm gonna put him in the wall".......right. Nice vid though.

You all time favorite movie? It used to be mine.. when i was like 7.

I think grand prix and le mans are much higher quality racing movies. I like this editing though.. great vid

Yeah definatley a fun watch :-)

I'm with Brandon on DoT though, it was great when I was a kid, but its pretty silly now. Le Mans, Grand Prix, and (my all time favorite) On Any Sunday are much better racing movies :-)

Fantastic editing and very enjoyable.
Scott, agreed on GP, LeMans, and you went up a notch or two in my book with your mention of On Any Sunday! Great,great movie.

Oh definitely, Days of Thunder is pretty silly in its depiction of the sport. I actually watched Grand Prix a few months ago for the first time, when it happened to be on tv. I didn't know anything about it at the time, but I was amazed watching it. The shots of the racing were so good that it actually became believable. Unlike Days of Thunder, where there are some obvious gaps and inconsistencies.
