Dry lakes hot rod movie

[purplepickup]

I'm sure many of you have seen this before but I lead a pretty sheltered life and I just watched it for the first time tonight.  It's a 12 minute movie about Mel, a '50's street racer * sort of guy, that gets turned on to the safe sport of sanctioned drag and lakes racing and is transformed into a cool hot rodder....and everyone lived happily ever after.  I thought it was pretty cool.  Definitely vintage footage.    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5851344091937046529&q=old+hot+rod+movie

I noticed a lot of the background stuff the second time I watched it....like the motorcycle cop's ticket pad.  It looks like he laid his scooter down on it a couple of times.

Hello;
Wish I still had that much hair! Loved the movie even though I don't have sound here at work.
I would be interested to see the new movie with Anthony Hopkins "the Last Indian" It's about lake racing, I think.

Worlds Fastest Indian.  Supposed to be a true story about a guy from New Zealand or Australia.
