- Hi, Mr Willard.
- Hi.
6
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,972
- What's the bet?
- That's where we've got a problem.
7
00:02:20,098 --> 00:02:22,224
This boy don't wanna put up no money.
8
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:25,644
Says he wants to go for the cars,
his Chevy against yours.
9
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:29,356
Ace thinks he can take him
but he don't wanna go unless you say so
10
00:02:29,482 --> 00:02:31,650
on account of you own the car.
11
00:02:31,776 --> 00:02:35,112
- What's he got in it?
- I don't know.
12
00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:37,531
He won't raise the hood or say nothing.
13
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:41,785
Man, a lot of money changing hands
on this 'un.
14
00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:44,955
I say go ahead.
15
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,792

(Siren wails)
19
00:05:16,024 --> 00:05:17,983
Hello, Rick.
20
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:24,072
- Do I know you?
- I'm Grant Willard.
21
00:05:24,198 --> 00:05:26,992
I put up your bond, Rick.
22
00:05:27,118 --> 00:05:30,662
Oh, yeah? What did you do that for?
23
00:05:30,788 --> 00:05:34,333
Oh, I felt kinda responsible for you.
24
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:38,545
You know, that Chevy that you dragged
the other night, I owned that.
25
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:43,925
- I had that Chevy beat by a mile.
- Not from where I sat.
26
00:05:46,137 --> 00:05:48,300
I guess we'll never know.
27
00:05:48,848 --> 00:05:52,976
So, we both lost.
Come on, I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
28
00:05:53,102 --> 00:05:56,438
- Hey, wait a minute.
- What's the matter with you?
29
00:05:56,564 --> 00:06:00,233
I just sprung you from this joint.
You wanna go back in?
30
00:06:08,743 --> 00:06:11,119
Could I have another receipt, please?
31
00:06:14,248 --> 00:06:16,792
Rick, here's my card.
32
00:06:17,835 --> 00:06:21,380
You see,
I fool around with all kinds of racing.
33
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:26,176
I even sponsor fellas
that can drive really fast.
34
00:06:26,302 --> 00:06:28,845
Are you interested?
35
00:06:28,971 --> 00:06:31,181
Figure of eight?
36
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:35,769
- You mean it's got an intersection?
- That's right.
37
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:38,563
You'd have to be crazy
to drive in a race like that.
38
00:06:39,148 --> 00:06:42,192
'On the first lap of figure eight racing,
it's Bolsen, Curtis, Turner,

'Kimble, Jones, McCoy, Johnson
and Jacowski into the turn
40
00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:50,575

through the intersection, the stragglers.

don't park there!

00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:19,456
'They're fighting, they're battling.
It's hub to hub and wheel to wheel.

- How do you like it?

00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:46,525
Oh, man, this is the nuttiest thing
I've ever seen. It isn't racing, it's...

'Let's see how bad it is.'
59
00:08:58,746 --> 00:09:02,874
- You think you'd like to try it?
- (Laughs) No chance!
60
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:06,086
I think I'd rather go back to the joint.
61
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:10,966

the race is on, they're running again.'

Who's that character?
74

That's Hawk Sidney.
He's the one that usually wins.
75

the boos as he does the cheers.

Hey! If it ain't
the custom car king himself!
91
00:11:07,249 --> 00:11:09,793
Really straightened them out, didn't we?
92
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:13,338
All that purse money and not even
a scratch on that famous
93

plum-purple, pearl-plate paint job.
94
00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:20,637
It's called pearl plum
and it takes 14 coats!
95
00:11:20,763 --> 00:11:25,392
Yeah, that's right. Hell, I ought to
know, I spray that stuff on all day long.
96
00:11:25,518 --> 00:11:29,604
Say, Hawk, I think I've got
a real challenger here for you,
97
00:11:29,730 --> 00:11:32,565
if we can persuade him
to come into the game.
98
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:36,069
Yeah? This little guy here?
99
00:11:36,195 --> 00:11:38,446
Hey, boy, you gonna race with us?
100
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:42,242
- I don't know if I got the guts.
- (Hawk laughs)
101
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:45,787
What you mean is,
you don't think you're dingy enough.
102
00:11:45,913 --> 00:11:49,499
Cos everybody knows you gotta be dingy
to run figure eight.
103
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:52,919
Especially Mr Willard here.
Is that right, Grant?
104
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:56,548
- Bob, bring The Hawk a beer.
- Hey, yeah!
105
00:11:56,674 --> 00:11:58,591
Now, listen here, boy.
106
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:00,802
You know why I'm the winner?
107
00:12:00,928 --> 00:12:03,388
Cos I'm dingy as there is!
108
00:12:03,514 --> 00:12:08,268
So when they see me coming through
that intersection, they naturally back off,
109
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:11,813
cos they know
I ain't gonna stop for nobody. (Laughs)
110
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:13,690
So when you see me coming,
111
00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:16,484
you best get out of the way,
112
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:18,778
cos I'm the dingiest there is!
113
00:12:18,904 --> 00:12:21,406
Right? Right! (Laughs)
114
00:12:22,783 --> 00:12:27,162
That's why I drive
a California Custom for Grant Willard.
115
00:12:27,288 --> 00:12:29,956
I'm a businessman, Hawk.
I need a winner.
116
00:12:30,082 --> 00:12:32,125
(Laughs) You got one!
117
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:33,960
Yeah! (Laughs)
118
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,925
(Laughs) Whoo! Come here to me!
119
00:12:46,557 --> 00:12:49,976
What do you think, Rick?
He's the one to beat.
120
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:53,146
(Hawk laughs)
121
00:12:55,191 --> 00:12:57,859
Where can I get me a car?
122
00:13:04,116 --> 00:13:08,203
She's been raced a couple of times,
but never seemed to run too good.
123
00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:10,997
I'll take care of that.
What do you want for it?
124
00:13:11,123 --> 00:13:15,293
If I was just to sell her flat out,
I guess a couple of hundred dollars.
125
00:13:15,419 --> 00:13:20,256
But the usual thing is,
if I sponsor a fella, you just drive,
126
00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:23,092
and if you win, we split the purse.
127
00:13:25,554 --> 00:13:28,556
Uh-uh.
I don't wanna be tied down to anybody.
128
00:13:34,021 --> 00:13:36,481
(Engine splutters)
129
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,660
Look, I'll make you a deal.
130
00:13:49,954 --> 00:13:52,497
I'll fix up the engine
so it runs really good.
131
00:13:52,623 --> 00:13:55,124
You let me race it
132
00:13:55,251 --> 00:13:59,254
and I'll pay you full price
out of the prize money. My money.
133
00:14:00,756 --> 00:14:05,510
(Laughs) Say, erm, did that Grant Willard
send you over here?
134
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,639
Yeah, that's right. What of it?
135
00:14:09,765 --> 00:14:15,019
Oh, it's an old story. He's always
coming up with young fellas like you,
136
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:18,690
usually been in lots of trouble,
137
00:14:18,816 --> 00:14:22,235
coming around here
figuring it's a way to make easy money.
138
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,612
Well, they drive the races for a while,
139
00:14:24,738 --> 00:14:29,868
then they get busted up a bit
and I don't know where they go.
140
00:14:29,994 --> 00:14:32,370
But the easy money
goes to Grant Willard,
141
00:14:32,496 --> 00:14:34,998
cos he owns a big piece
of that racetrack.
142
00:14:36,667 --> 00:14:39,002
Look, son,
you wanna make some honest money?
143
00:14:39,128 --> 00:14:42,672
If you can handle a torch, I'll put you
on here for two and a quarter an hour.
144
00:14:42,798 --> 00:14:45,550
Hey. Who said I needed a job?
145
00:14:46,635 --> 00:14:48,303
Now, look,
146
00:14:48,429 --> 00:14:52,724
I'm offering you two bills for a car
that ain't even worth 50 and you know it.
147
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:55,059
Now, are you interested or not?
148
00:14:56,061 --> 00:14:58,313
What if you smash her up?
149
00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:03,902
Then I'll go to work for you
at two bucks an hour till I pay it off.
150
00:15:04,862 --> 00:15:06,821
Now, what do you say?
151
00:15:06,947 --> 00:15:09,616
Fair enough. You've got a deal.
152
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:13,494
Help yourself to anything around here
and if you need any help...
153
00:15:13,621 --> 00:15:15,705
Forget it.
154
00:15:15,831 --> 00:15:17,832

- Hi!

Well, what can we do for you, sport?
185
00:19:04,852 --> 00:19:08,104
Well, boys, I'm going into big time.
186
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:12,775
Gonna fix me up a car to run the
Phoenix International for Grant Willard.
187
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:17,572
Gonna drive a back-up car for Ed McCleod.
Sort of run interference for him.

- No working during lunch break.
- That's right. We're organised.

Oooh!
Did you listen to that what she said?
200
00:19:55,819 --> 00:19:59,530
Don't you snip at me. I took you
across my knee when you was little
201

- and I ain't beyond doing it yet.
- Yeah, you better look out, girl.

to lay a hand on your backside!

into that nice cupcake shape!

Come by the stand tomorrow,

in your coffee.

Fixing the brakes?
207

my own car, throwed 'em away.

- That's right.
- Well, I've got a good piece of advice.

- Ooh. You getting mighty touchy.

You're the guy that started the fight the
other night, aren't you? At the track.
221
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:34,917
Why do you guys always wanna
start a fight with each other, anyway?

I don't know.
223
00:21:39,464 --> 00:21:41,674
It just happens sometimes.
224
00:21:42,634 --> 00:21:46,470

why you do something?

00:21:48,682 --> 00:21:51,434
No, I sure don't.

learn about this racing game, eh, pop?

and you should be able to take him.

- Well, I know a few of them.

When I went into the turns,
I was on the low side.
273
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:06,981
Then I let the car drift
towards the centre of the road
274
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:10,067
so I could protect
both the outside and the inside.
275
00:26:10,193 --> 00:26:15,281
If you want to pass the fella, you must
first observe his pattern of driving.
276
00:26:15,407 --> 00:26:18,033
And if he goes into the turn
on the low side,
277
00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:22,955
give your car a flat slide to the outside
and cut in short and then you've got him.
278

There's just one more thing. If you
haven't learned how to play a harp,

Hey, what's with The Hawk?
325
00:30:12,685 --> 00:30:15,395
Got himself a new car,
all painted up fancy.
326
00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:18,690
Says he's gonna kill anybody
who scratches her up.
327
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:22,236
- Oh, yeah?
- I'd like to see somebody flip that car.
328
00:30:23,363 --> 00:30:27,199
- Oh, yeah? Why don't you do it?
- I don't wanna wind up in the hospital.
329
00:30:27,325 --> 00:30:29,660
Go on,
you're not afraid of that big jerk!
330
00:30:29,786 --> 00:30:33,372
Well, I am.
He carries an awful mean grudge.
331
00:30:38,253 --> 00:30:41,547
- Hey, Grant!
- Hello, Rick. You gonna win tonight?
332
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:44,675
You might be surprised.
I got a proposition for you.
333
00:30:44,801 --> 00:30:49,930
If I can beat Hawk tonight, will you
sponsor me at the Phoenix International?
334
00:30:50,056 --> 00:30:52,099
- Beat Hawk tonight?
- Yeah.
335
00:30:52,225 --> 00:30:55,269
Look, one win
don't make a champion, kid.
336
00:30:55,395 --> 00:30:57,688
What do you say, Grant?
337
00:30:57,814 --> 00:31:00,232
OK, with one reservation.
338
00:31:00,358 --> 00:31:02,651
Ed McCleod has got to approve.
339
00:31:02,777 --> 00:31:05,946
It's a deal. Thanks, Grant.
340
00:31:06,072 --> 00:31:08,574
You're an evil man, Grant Willard.
341
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:11,827
Look, Harry,
342
00:31:11,953 --> 00:31:14,454
I'm trying to find myself a winner.
343
00:31:14,581 --> 00:31:16,498
Racing is a tough business.
344
00:31:16,624 --> 00:31:19,251
It's strictly the survival
of the fittest.
345
00:31:19,377 --> 00:31:25,132
Just like war. You've got a winner
and a loser and nothing in between.
346
00:31:25,258 --> 00:31:28,594
I busted a lot of heads
training my company in the marines,
347
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,889
but... when they got into action,
348
00:31:32,015 --> 00:31:35,225
they led the whole division
in decorations received,
349

A lot worse than you think.

- Yeah.
457

Then listen good, Rick,
because concussion is no joke.

If you have nausea, dizziness,
difficulty breathing,

get to bed and stay there.

You know,
you race drivers are all dingy.
463

You go out there
and you get all busted up.

You come in here, you won't take
half that advice we give you.
465
00:42:49,275 --> 00:42:53,361
I've seen guys get hit real hard on the
track and they need a doctor real bad
466
00:42:53,487 --> 00:42:56,239
because maybe
they got a broken neck or something.
467
00:42:56,365 --> 00:42:58,449
But they think they feel OK,
468
00:42:58,576 --> 00:43:02,203
jump out of their car acting like
a big hero and all that stuff,
469
00:43:02,329 --> 00:43:04,706
walk a few feet and fall over dead.
470
00:43:04,832 --> 00:43:08,167
If they'd had medical attention
immediately, they'd have been all right.
471
00:43:08,294 --> 00:43:09,669
But they think they gotta act tough...
472
00:43:42,536 --> 00:43:44,704
- ...at 150 miles an hour plus.
- Mm-hm.

coming by this morning.

Oh, really? (Chuckles)
Well, that's too bad.
483
00:44:31,502 --> 00:44:34,170
But you've been doing real well
on the track.
484
00:44:34,254 --> 00:44:36,923
I guess you deserve a little celebration.
485
00:44:37,049 --> 00:44:40,718
Yeah. I guess I did.
486
00:44:42,388 --> 00:44:47,183

where can I find Ed McCleod?

488
00:44:53,273 --> 00:44:55,733
OK, Grant. Thanks a lot.
489
00:44:57,236 --> 00:44:58,945

- Yeah?
492
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:12,875
- What did he say?
- (Chuckles) He said he had a hangover.
493
00:45:14,086 --> 00:45:15,628
That's too bad.
494
00:45:17,631 --> 00:45:20,007
Huh? I thought you were mad at him.
495
00:45:21,802 --> 00:45:23,219
I got over it.
496
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:27,640
You know, I'm sorry to hear that.
497
00:45:27,766 --> 00:45:30,852
He's racing in the modifieds
tomorrow night.
498
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:36,149
- Oh, yeah?
- You'd better watch out for that boy.
499
00:45:36,275 --> 00:45:39,485
He's a goer.
If he keeps winning races like that,
500
00:45:39,611 --> 00:45:43,948
I might consider him as a replacement
for you in the international.
501
00:45:49,413 --> 00:45:52,540
All right, Mr Willard,
if that's the way you want it.
502
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:55,418
(Chuckles)
503
00:45:55,544 --> 00:45:59,297
Oh, Hawk, I'm only kidding.
You know I wouldn't do that.
504
00:46:00,340 --> 00:46:03,134
Oh. I see.
505
00:46:04,845 --> 00:46:08,514
- OK, Grant.
- Do you feel all right?
506
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,059
- You're not sick or anything, are you?
- No.
507
00:46:13,145 --> 00:46:14,729
I'm OK.
508
00:46:16,064 --> 00:46:18,024
I'm fine.
509
00:46:18,150 --> 00:46:21,152
(Whirring resumes)
510
00:46:31,997 --> 00:46:44,258
(Crackling)
511
00:46:49,556 --> 00:46:52,433
(Intermittent crackling)
512
00:47:15,332 --> 00:47:18,376
Hi. Ed McCleod?
513
00:47:24,925 --> 00:47:25,925
Hey.
514
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:30,805
That's really nice.
515
00:47:31,849 --> 00:47:35,393
But it's a 289.
How come you don't go with the 390?
516
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:38,104
289 is 200 pounds lighter.
517
00:47:38,230 --> 00:47:41,983
The way we have that set up,
we can get 350 horsepower out of it.
518
00:47:49,366 --> 00:47:50,783
I, er...
519
00:47:52,286 --> 00:47:57,164
- I guess you're not Ed McCleod.
- No, I guess I'm not.
520
00:47:57,291 --> 00:47:59,834
- I'm married to him.
- Oh.
521
00:48:01,378 --> 00:48:04,171
The power behind the wheel,
is that it?
522
00:48:05,215 --> 00:48:07,884
No, I just try to help out when I can.
523
00:48:09,011 --> 00:48:11,220
Ed will be back in a minute.
524
00:48:22,441 --> 00:48:25,610
Who, er... Who made your pistons?
525
00:48:26,695 --> 00:48:28,905
They're forged.
526
00:48:32,034 --> 00:48:35,369
They make them
the way my husband likes them.
527
00:48:38,498 --> 00:48:41,751
Ed, this is Rick Bowman.
He came to see you.
528
00:48:44,588 --> 00:48:46,923
Yeah. Nice to meet you.
529
00:48:49,384 --> 00:48:52,345
Grant Willard phoned.
He told me you were coming.
530
00:48:53,388 --> 00:48:55,431
Here, Ellen, take a look at this.
531
00:48:56,934 --> 00:48:59,185
- Oh, is that the fuel bypass?
- Yeah.
532
00:48:59,311 --> 00:49:03,272
- How did your header piece turn out?
- It's right there, take a look.
533
00:49:06,109 --> 00:49:09,362
- Hey, that's a nice, neat, ladylike job.
- Thank you.
534
00:49:09,488 --> 00:49:12,365
She's a good little welder.
Hands steady as marble.
535
00:49:13,742 --> 00:49:15,701
Now, er, what can I do for ya?
536
00:49:18,163 --> 00:49:20,539
I'd like to back you at Phoenix.
537
00:49:20,707 --> 00:49:23,626
Grant knows about it.
He told me to check with you.
538
00:49:23,752 --> 00:49:27,380
Hawk Sidney's backing me up.
Not that I even need anybody.
539
00:49:27,506 --> 00:49:30,049
- That's Grant's idea, not mine.
- I, erm...
540
00:49:30,175 --> 00:49:33,928
I guess you haven't heard.
I beat Hawk Sidney last night.
541
00:49:34,054 --> 00:49:36,013
Oh, you did, eh?
542
00:49:36,139 --> 00:49:40,226
So you beat the great Hawk Sidney
on that great dirt track figure eight.
543
00:49:40,352 --> 00:49:43,896
Now you're ready for the big time?
Who do you think you are, Junior Johnson?
544
00:49:44,022 --> 00:49:48,067
Real racing isn't this cheap
crash-bang stuff you're doing.
545
00:49:48,193 --> 00:49:50,945
- Grant...
- Grant doesn't mean a thing he says.
546
00:49:51,071 --> 00:49:53,447
He told me all about your feud with Hawk.
547
00:49:53,573 --> 00:49:58,452
You can't pull stuff like that when
you've gotta go 180 for 400 or 500 miles.
548
00:49:58,578 --> 00:50:01,580
That takes skill, patience
and intelligence.
549
00:50:02,749 --> 00:50:06,252
Look, Willard put Hawk in this race
to do one specific job.
550
00:50:06,378 --> 00:50:10,589
And if he kills himself, Willard will be
the last one to cry about it.
551
00:50:10,716 --> 00:50:13,592
And I won't be the first, either.
552
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:18,973
Guys like you and Hawk, roughnecks,
you're not gonna be real race drivers.
553
00:50:19,099 --> 00:50:23,436
Look, you stick to your crash-bang stuff
and get your kicks from that.
554
00:50:23,562 --> 00:50:25,771
You'll stay alive a lot longer.
555
00:50:27,107 --> 00:50:30,860
- Pass me that stinger.
- Er, look, Mr McCleod,
556
00:50:30,986 --> 00:50:35,531
before you make up your mind so quickly,
would you do me a favour?
557
00:50:35,615 --> 00:50:37,867
Would you give me a break?
558
00:50:39,327 --> 00:50:42,705
Watch me run in the modifieds
tomorrow night.
559
00:50:42,831 --> 00:50:45,499
That seems fair, Ed.
560
00:50:45,625 --> 00:50:47,877
All right, fair enough.
561
00:50:48,795 --> 00:50:50,504
Thanks.
562
00:50:50,630 --> 00:50:54,175
Oh, er, take care of
your beautiful friend here.
563
00:51:00,348 --> 00:51:03,184
How come you've turned into a grump
all of a sudden?
564
00:51:03,310 --> 00:51:06,437
Ah, these guys. They're all alike.
565
00:51:10,567 --> 00:51:12,568
'We're having a lot of
fun here tonight.
566
00:51:12,652 --> 00:51:16,989
'The cars are spinning, working
through the pack, turning and twisting.
567
00:51:17,115 --> 00:51:18,783
'Over the log! Oh, look out.
568
00:51:18,909 --> 00:51:21,660
'It's like two bulls in a pasture.
Who's gonna give up?
569
00:51:21,787 --> 00:51:25,414
'Around and round they go,
and where they stop...
570
00:51:25,540 --> 00:51:28,667
'Look at this. Hey! Bang, pop, boom!
571
00:51:28,835 --> 00:51:32,880
'Around the south turn,
into the north turn. Look out!'
572
00:51:33,006 --> 00:51:36,967
Come on, Ed, don't be such a snob.
I think figure eights are fun.
573
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:44,475
'69 car head-on with 27, the 160, the
806. The world's longest stunt car there.
574
00:51:44,601 --> 00:51:48,020
'Say, they're really jamming
and pushing and shoving.
575
00:51:48,146 --> 00:51:50,815
'The tow trucks are busy here tonight.
576
00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:55,361
'The race is over. Ed Hand with the win.
577
00:51:55,487 --> 00:51:57,863
'He's getting the trophy presentation.
578
00:51:57,989 --> 00:52:00,074
'They're cleaning the track up now.'
579
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,785
My God! (Laughs)
580
00:52:02,911 --> 00:52:06,497
Never thought I'd see
this old car of mine run so good, Rick.
581
00:52:06,623 --> 00:52:09,875
- Hey, give me a hand over here, will ya?
- Sure, Rick.
582
00:52:18,802 --> 00:52:21,929
Well, you ain't gonna get very far
like that, Rick.
583
00:52:22,055 --> 00:52:24,431
You'd better hurry. They're lining up.
584
00:52:24,558 --> 00:52:27,601
Hey, Jolene, run over to the tool box
and get my hammer.
585
00:52:27,727 --> 00:52:32,731
'Bowman starts behind The Hawk
and then beside him is Charlie Heinz.'
586
00:52:32,858 --> 00:52:35,109
Go ahead, honey, bust it, right here.
587
00:52:35,235 --> 00:52:37,444
Hey, you wanna see me win, don't you?
588
00:52:37,571 --> 00:52:41,907
- I don't wanna hurt you!
- Just think of it as an act of love.
589
00:52:43,076 --> 00:52:44,743
Hit it!
590
00:52:52,836 --> 00:52:55,129
OK, I can move it now.
591
00:52:59,509 --> 00:53:00,968
There he is.
592
00:53:02,429 --> 00:53:06,140

on the track.

are new and they really go!

Yeah, he's pretty good, all right.
For a rookie.
640

He's very aggressive.
641

Listen, Grant, er,
I'll go along with whatever you say.
642

is your baby, anyway.

I just found out today.
645
00:56:37,685 --> 00:56:41,605
Sonny Simpson is coming out to Phoenix
to run the international.
646
00:56:41,731 --> 00:56:45,067
Sonny Simpson?
Hey, I thought those southern champions
647
00:56:45,193 --> 00:56:47,653
were starting their season
next week at Riverside.
648
00:56:47,779 --> 00:56:50,572
Most of them are.
That's why Simpson figures
649
00:56:50,698 --> 00:56:52,991
he'll pick himself up
an easy win at Phoenix
650
00:56:53,118 --> 00:56:55,702
and break in his new car
at the same time.
651
00:56:57,956 --> 00:56:59,415
Thanks.
652
00:57:03,420 --> 00:57:07,381
- Did you see the little turn over there?
- Yeah, you were fantastic!

You drove a hell of a race, Rick.
654
00:57:41,708 --> 00:57:43,959
Thanks.
655
00:57:50,008 --> 00:57:52,176
Buy you a beer?
656
00:57:57,015 --> 00:57:58,348
Yeah.
657
00:58:06,566 --> 00:58:08,442
I'm sorry.
658
00:58:13,156 --> 00:58:15,115
Maybe I had it coming.
659

(Upbeat rock music)
660
00:58:38,723 --> 00:58:42,100
(Ed) Hi, Rick. Hey, listen, buddy,
that was a real nice race.
661
00:58:42,268 --> 00:58:43,894
Hi, Ed. Thanks. Hi, Ellen.
662
00:58:44,020 --> 00:58:47,189
Hey, look, I'm sorry about the way
I leaned on you.
663
00:58:47,315 --> 00:58:52,069
Oh, forget it.
I, er... I heard about Sonny Simpson.
664
00:58:52,195 --> 00:58:53,946
Bad news travels fast.
665
00:58:54,072 --> 00:58:57,324
Oh, wait a minute, it could be good news,
if you beat him.
666
00:58:57,450 --> 00:59:02,079
I can always tell when a man has an idea.
What is it, Rick?
667
00:59:02,205 --> 00:59:05,666
I've been doing some checking around
about Sonny Simpson.
668
00:59:05,792 --> 00:59:09,962
Seems he gets easily riled, doesn't
expect any real competition at all.
669
00:59:10,088 --> 00:59:11,672
That's right. So?
670
00:59:11,798 --> 00:59:16,552
So why don't we give him some competition
he won't believe, like a drag racer?
671
00:59:16,719 --> 00:59:19,805
- What the hell are you talking about?
- Grant knows.
672
00:59:19,931 --> 00:59:23,267
Get my Chevy out of impound,
drop the engine into a stock racer.
673
00:59:23,393 --> 00:59:27,563
Hawk can drive hell out of it, push
that Alabama chicken farmer all the way.
674
00:59:27,689 --> 00:59:29,731
If my guess is right, he'll keep up
675
00:59:29,857 --> 00:59:32,401
rather than let a local boy
steal his thunder.
676
00:59:32,527 --> 00:59:35,612
But your engine won't hold up like that
for 400 miles.
677
00:59:35,738 --> 00:59:38,907
Right. But neither will Sonny's
if he tries to keep pace.
678
00:59:39,033 --> 00:59:43,078
And I'll be driving back-up car
to interfere with any competition.
679
00:59:44,163 --> 00:59:46,623
What does Hawk say?
680
00:59:46,749 --> 00:59:50,419
Look at him.
He's out there leading the pack already.
681
00:59:53,298 --> 00:59:56,758
We can do it, Grant. We can win.
682
00:59:58,886 --> 01:00:00,012
(Grant) Win.
683
01:01:08,581 --> 01:01:10,874
Hey, big Rick.
684
01:01:12,585 --> 01:01:15,420
Boy, you feel like
you're about to explode.
685
01:01:17,090 --> 01:01:19,508
Maybe I will one of these days.
686
01:01:20,802 --> 01:01:22,761
What's wrong?
687
01:01:26,015 --> 01:01:29,601
How would you like to see me
win the big race at Phoenix?
688
01:01:29,727 --> 01:01:32,187
I think that'd be great.
689
01:01:33,272 --> 01:01:36,692
- But what about Ed?
- Oh, McCleod.
690
01:01:38,069 --> 01:01:41,029
I'm gonna see him
eat my exhaust smoke.
691
01:01:43,074 --> 01:01:45,742
I always thought Ed
was a pretty nice guy.
692
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,705
He thinks he's such a big wheel.
693
01:01:50,748 --> 01:01:53,500
I hate people
who think they're big wheels.
694
01:01:55,211 --> 01:01:57,421
I think you're a big wheel.
695
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,593
- Oh, you.
- (Laughs)
696
01:02:06,431 --> 01:02:09,141
You're awful damn good-looking,
you know that?
697
01:02:09,267 --> 01:02:13,520
- Will you cut it out?
- No, I mean it. You really are.

700
01:02:28,244 --> 01:02:30,328
I don't have any.
701
01:02:30,496 --> 01:02:35,792
I believe when you're dead, you're dead,
and that's it.
702
01:02:35,918 --> 01:02:38,044
Not me.
703
01:02:38,171 --> 01:02:40,422
I believe in heaven.
704
01:02:41,466 --> 01:02:47,679
And I believe that... heaven is
this great big island in the sky
705
01:02:47,805 --> 01:02:50,974

in the sunshine

01:16:00,639 --> 01:16:04,100
- why don't we start raising that family?
- If you win?
821
01:16:04,226 --> 01:16:08,187
Oh, hell, win or lose,
it's a promise, OK?
822
01:16:10,274 --> 01:16:13,359
Ed, don't say that
unless you really mean it.
823
01:16:13,485 --> 01:16:15,987
I do, honey. I do.
824
01:16:17,030 --> 01:16:20,741
Look, I want you to have all the
things that women need.
825
01:16:23,662 --> 01:16:25,454
I love you.
826
01:16:26,415 --> 01:16:28,040
Oh, Ed, I love you.
827
01:16:29,793 --> 01:16:32,461
(Music on radio)
828
01:17:05,203 --> 01:17:06,495
Rick!
829
01:17:15,839 --> 01:17:17,757
You might get killed tomorrow.
830
01:17:36,193 --> 01:17:38,486
(Music stops)
831
01:17:42,199 --> 01:17:44,158
Excuse me.
832
01:17:53,168 --> 01:17:55,670
Good night, fun boy.
833
01:18:03,929 --> 01:18:06,055
You're right, you know?
834
01:18:07,391 --> 01:18:09,767
I could get killed tomorrow.
835
01:18:13,188 --> 01:18:15,272
Hey, don't say that.
836
01:18:16,942 --> 01:18:20,111
(Laughs)
837
01:18:20,237 --> 01:18:22,530
You're crazy, you know that?
838
01:18:25,450 --> 01:18:28,911
Oh, Rick, I'm so scared
you're gonna get hurt tomorrow.
839
01:18:29,996 --> 01:18:32,540
- Is that wrong?
- I don't know.
840
01:18:35,419 --> 01:18:38,129
I can't ever remember
anybody else caring.
841
01:18:50,934 --> 01:18:54,228
Honey, I...
I gotta get some sleep.
842
01:19:00,652 --> 01:19:04,155
Rick! What's the matter
with you lately?
843
01:19:04,281 --> 01:19:07,533
What do you mean?
What's the matter with you?
844
01:19:07,659 --> 01:19:11,912
You see what I mean? You just...
You just get mad at me for nothing!
845
01:19:13,874 --> 01:19:16,208
Oh, it's the strain of this race.
846
01:19:18,128 --> 01:19:21,714
I feel as though I've been walking around
in a dream all day.
847
01:19:23,842 --> 01:19:26,343
All I can think of is... we gotta win.
848
01:19:26,511 --> 01:19:28,262
Hey.
849
01:19:28,346 --> 01:19:32,850
I don't care if you win or lose.
I just want you.
850
01:19:33,935 --> 01:19:35,853
What do you mean, you don't care?
851
01:19:35,979 --> 01:19:39,315
Isn't that why you latched onto me,
so you could have a winner?
852
01:19:40,901 --> 01:19:43,152
You're just like Grant Willard.
853
01:19:46,490 --> 01:19:48,699
Well,
854
01:19:48,825 --> 01:19:51,035
any time I win a race,
855
01:19:51,161 --> 01:19:53,996
I won't have anyone else to thank for it.
856
01:20:08,053 --> 01:20:12,515
'Main event time coming up
here at Phoenix in just a few moments.
857
01:20:12,641 --> 01:20:16,310
'In the meantime,
let's take a quick intermission.'
858
01:20:19,481 --> 01:20:23,317
- What's that for, Rick?
- It's an idea I got last night.
859
01:20:23,401 --> 01:20:26,695
I'm welding steel reinforcements
behind the fenders.
860
01:20:26,822 --> 01:20:30,324
If I knock other cars, I wanna be sure
nobody digs my fenders in
861
01:20:30,450 --> 01:20:33,035
against the tyres and blows them out.
862
01:20:33,161 --> 01:20:36,413
An idea you got last night, eh?
863
01:20:36,540 --> 01:20:38,707
I must say,
you work pretty fast, Rick.
864
01:20:39,918 --> 01:20:44,547
Well, any sacrifice to give our beloved
Ed McCleod a better chance, right?
865
01:20:45,757 --> 01:20:48,759
Rick, I'll tell you something
I've been thinking.
866
01:20:49,886 --> 01:20:51,762
I'm a businessman.
867
01:20:52,305 --> 01:20:57,768
So long as a California Custom car
wins this race,
868
01:20:57,894 --> 01:21:02,898
I really don't care very much
what the name of the driver is.
869
01:21:10,156 --> 01:21:13,909
'Race fans, this is the one
you've been waiting for, the main event!
