Looks like it'll be kinda cheesy, but in the best possible way.

I agree but i think most of us are a little too close to the sport. Our opinions are naturally biased hopefully it will be a good story and overall good movie. And provide some good exposure for our sport

[JCSullivan00]

Without being biased because you are a dirt fan, you have to admit that this looks pretty terrible.

[Krooser]

It will be ok...entertainment not a documentary.

Give this flick a chance folks. What determines if a movie is cheesy? What is cheesy? This was of course filmed at the track I announce at so I am a tick jaded maybe. Sometimes a trailer can indicate it's worth but the whole movie needs to be viewed to sum up it's merits and or flaws.

At least in my mind the last movie to have LM's in it was Six Pack. These folks who made this movie at Talladega spent a good bit of coin. They sure spent some bank procuring the track and all the associated costs. Got some top notch actors too.

Remember, if ya like it on not, this showcases Talladega Short Track, and "our" Dirt Late Models. This movie can and will expose folks to "our" form of race cars, in my book it is a win-win for or cars and sport. They could have shot this deal at many other joints but they choose our track, and they were very happy with TST, a track that holds races that matter.

Looking forward to watching it. If it's dirt racin, it can't be all bad.

Two things I noticed about the Trading Vinyl trailer...

1) The best looking chassis in this movie is a Twain, not a Rocket.
2) Vinny Barbarino may actually hold his own in the role of a racecar driver.

Travolta is a convincing dirt tracker, I am sure. 😏

They've got a cast with easily recognizable star names, so that should bring in some non-racing fans. But watching the trailer, what struck me was remembering when I was a kid 6-12 y/o. I would have begged my father every day to take me to that movie and both of my parents would reply, "We'll see", knowing full well we were going because Dad would never miss any racing movie...Grand Prix, LeMans, etc

The point I mean to make is that this movie will appeal to kids, which is something this sport really needs to grow. We read how we need to bring in young fans constantly from everyone, everywhere. DLMR already has the best product. The sport needs something like this to inspire kids and maybe drag some non-racing parents along with them or vice versa.

I'd go see it or at least rent it on Netflix.

Always felt it was a joke that Days Of Thunder was mentioned as the best movie on racing that had been produced. Hope Trading Paint does well, at least it looks like it might be made with realistic settings.
