I was racing motocross and hare scrambles when that movie came out. What a fantastic movie that was. It featured Steve McQueen and Baja 500 winner Malcolm Smith on Husky 400's doing some dessert racing and out just trail riding and playing in the dessert. It was nothing but pure fun, you could tell just by looking at them. Thanks for posting that. Great memories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I didn't know until about 10 years ago, was he was born about 5 miles from me! My Dad told me that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Di Niro I think 1973 or around that that time. I was going to put that on my list. Excellent movie IMO. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbert Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Forgot about the 1966 movie "Grand Prix". They did it right and captured the aura of the sport, which started to take another course sometime around the mid 90's. As someone else stated, there are too many to choose from, but if you can break it up along style lines, it makes it somewhat easier to choose.
