        What ever happened to that Over the Wall movie or whatever they named it. That they were filming at Eldora several years ago????? The one that they kept doing hotlaps over and over and over trying to have Jon Henry pass everyone. And then his car finally broke down and they had to give it up. lol

        They ruined a tacky surface with what seemed like 20 hot lap sessions!!!

          Just got done watching the movie... not bad.

          Ok we could go on and on about the racing scenes... but there were a few minutes of good shop scenes toward the end. Of course the hero had to buy a Rocket chassis and a Clements motor to win the big race...

          Overall I'd give it 3.5 stars...

                Good... The role wasn't much of a challenge but she did OK.

                I kinda have a crush on her so I'm biased.

                Hey late model Mark... Where the heck we're you in the pic?

                  I also just watched it. And i have to say it was really hard to watch. And not just because it was horrible from every aspect but mainly because my wife kept coming in and asking how in the hell are you still watching that lol. One hour and twenty seven minutes i can never get back

                    Better than watching a 25 lap follow the leader feature...although in the movie they started the fast guys up front on a dry, slick track.

                    Realistic ? You bet!!!

                      I would rather watch the 25 lap follow the leader feature. I am glad I didn't have to pay for it, only in lost time the wife and I will never get back. If you want to watch a dirt late model movie, watch Six Pack, even if it is probably like 40 years old, it had way better racing scenes and acting.

                        Did I completely imagine it, or wasn't Bobby Pierce and Earl Pearson supposed to be in this movie? Or was it Over the Wall? Or did I completely imagine the entire thing?

                        As for Trading Paint, it was almost like they threw a bunch of money at Travolta and Twain to get them on board and forgot to set aside enough money for a decent script writer. But at least it is dirt racing in a movie. And yes, Six Pack is still the standard as far as I'm concerned.

                          You must be thinking of Over the Wall. Definitely not this one.

                            Yep, flipping Six Pack is where it’s at. And the teenager singing Rocky Top, I’ve always thought was cool.

                            Though I’ll admit, my favorite racing movie is probably Days of Thunder.
                            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                              he bought a brand new rocket with a Clements engine for 8500$ lol. when they showed it at the track it was a old grt. they threw the checkered flag and said 1 lap to go, shifting gears while racing, u would think they could at least make the cars sound like race cars. terrible!
