Hey everybody,

A couple of weeks ago at the Hot Rod anniversary Car Show, I took some sweet pics of one of my favorite vehicles ever.

These two shots here give you an idea what I'm talking about.

I was excited to see this combo, it was probably my favorite thing at the show, other than getting to sit in a hemi slingshot dragster thanks to John Ewald, who was super cool, very gracious, and genuinely funny nice guy. He took this pic for me, and I'll never forget it. http://i.imgur.com/NUpz5rx.jpg

Anyway, one of the most exciting things I saw at the show was a trailer for a film, about Don "The Snake" Prudhomme and Tom "The Mongoose" McEwen and their groundbreaking accomplishments in the world of drag racing. The film also focuses on how the two unlikely figures revolutionized entertainment sports marketing when they attracted Mattel’s Hot Wheels Division to sponsor them, according to a press release from the film producers.

Part of the paragraph above is from Wikipedia.

The trailer was simply AWESOME looking! I'm really excited to see the film, I don't work for these guys or anything, I was just reminded of all this when I absent-mindedly blew up a balloon for my baby nephew, and was surprised to see the designed emblazoned upon it.
Here's the balloon. . . http://i.imgur.com/Isl433N.jpg


OK, and now, without further ado, the TRAILER!! http://vimeo.com/52169787

Sorry if this is a repost. I'm just really excited. SOmebody share this with the guys over at the racers hangout. I don't post in there. I'm wary of those guys hahah
 
it looks like it's going to be a good movie
 
Here are a couple of pics for you, fmontez1:

I remember buying those new, when I was about 4 or 5.

Had the rails, too.
