    RL was asked by the manager of a local theater to display his GT in the lobby of the theater during the run of the movie

    1972Mach1 Just some M.M.O.G. guy.....

    I'm fighting the urge to go. I really don't like Matt Damon, don't know why. Probably because of the Team America movie hahaha.....so I definitely don't want to see him playing one of my heroes. That said, everybody I know who went to it last night texted and said how great it is, so I might cave. The lady has been asking to go to a movie......

    Personally I dont think I can tolerate a Disney version of a true story..

    I might watch it if or when it comes to TV..

    Adam carolla did a doc a couple of years ago about the race . He just sold it to Netflix it's called the 24hr war it's good in my opinion he also did a doc on Willie t ribbs .
    I believe it's on Netflix now.

    Great book about this - more of a blow by blow of the events with a lot of back ground leading up to the refusal by Ferrari to sell to Ford: Go Like Hell by A.J. Baime

    Sheds light on how Ken Miles got screwed from first place too.

    Also, I did not know but the wealthy Mecom family of Texas tried to buy Ferrari before Ford but backed out when Ford jumped in. They also bought one of the 3 Lola Mk 6's that became the basis for the GT 40. They raced it for quite a while.

    I'm going on Tuesday with my brother in-law since the "Hens" are not the slightest bit interested in going so it's going to be a Man-date night:p:D

    you know what I realized as I became older? Everyone has an opinion and it doesn't necessarily that you can agree with it. Mostly for viewers have low ratings for movies I actually fell in love with.

    My high maintenance girl loved it! Thought it was a good movie, Even though it wasn't a chick flick.
