Move over THUNDER ROAD, PIT STOP, and SPEED LOVERS. Here's an obscure "speedsploitation" programmer that burns rubber big time. THUNDER IN DIXIE, not to be confused with 1960s THUNDER IN CAROLINA, is not a low-budget laughfest or a disposable slice of backwoods cornpone - it is a serious "normal" movie you can sit back and actually watch. Fast-paced, hard-boiled, well-acted and tightly directed with a great moody THE HUSTLER-style music score by Elliot Lawrence. Ticker Welsh (MIKE BRADFORD) and Mickey Arnold (HARRY MILLARD) are stock car jockeys, former partners who "brake up" over a drunken accident that killed Ticker's old lady. They bluster around and become deadly rivals, all leading up to the really big stock car race finale where they will finally settle the score, even if one of them has to die... - Something Weird
