I don't usually like watching "car" movies, they manage to make them so silly somehow (Stallone's IRL movie for example) but this one looks like it might be worth a look. Rush might be another.

Love the old action shots and I would like to know the story behind these two racers. Thanks for the link Doug.

Agreed Doug. Should be a good one.
Read something about the trucks that they refurbished to make this film. And if memory has it correct, I think they sold these at Barret Jackson last month.
I remember these guys and their funny cars being at Cayuga back in the day. Good stuff.

I remember seeing their rivalry and races back in the day (including at the US Nationals) and enjoyed them immensely. Look forward to seeing the new movie. Should be a winner.

Great movie trailer.

Even though I wasn't there to see this era, the trailer looks great! Maybe I'll take my dad to see it.

Was there for the whole duration of Toronto International Dragway when it was in existence. Snake and Mongoose visited many times and I used to have both their autographs on one of Don's Mattel business cards. Looking forward to seeing the movie too when it finally gets here.

When I was a kid in the early 70's I built a model of the Snake's funny car. I used to have the Hot Wheels car as well.
