Anyone know that before the Vin Diesel, "I live my life a quarter mile at a time.", version there was an original filmed in 1954? The main car was an XK 120 and the film has plenty of open road racing with drivers in polo helmets, no rollbars and no belts. It even has some "vintage race" action of '30s cars. You can see it here in glorious black and white: https://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi3935541273/
 
I think my parents may have taken me along when that was being shown. At a drive-in. Watched it standing up in the back seat of a '53 Lincoln Premier! :laugh:
 
BTW: Did anyone notice Jack Milner's Rolls announced as th' concours d'elegance winner? Check against th' opening credits...
