I used to live a half mile away from Edmonton International Speedway and I used to Sneak" in under the fence every weekend when I was only 12. I was 18 at the time this movie was made but I also had the opportunity of actually racing on that track one year before this movie was made, in a High School Showdown and I came in 3rd out of a field of 125 other cars,I ran an 18.333 all the way until I broke out with an 18.399 ( it was done with a 3/4 ton Dodge short wheel base van). LoL!
For people wondering if it's any good, I just watched it, and it's a cheap (VERY cheap) exploitation film about racing. Totally straightforward. No Cronenberg touches. Just cars, explosions, tough guys, unrepentant villains, and desperately cheesy '70s sex. Terrible faux-Springsteen soundtrack too. In short: it's exactly what the trailer portrays it to be, but slower.
Is this any good? I've heard that it's completely unlike anything Cronenberg's done (obviously). But h also likes cars, so I can imagine him doing a good job.

THIS LOOKS LIKE SHIT!!!
Nascar style haha
pure americana...
i'd have to watch it and see if Cronenberg was being derisive or aiming for a Top Gun type movie
