What I'd like to know is what is a suitable punishment
for a video store that rents tape#1 of "Grand Prix"
without mentioning that it's a two tape movie to the
frenzied shopper.

Hmm, and lets not forget whoever took tape 2.

Somebody tell me who won in the end! :)

ooops!!...I forgot one (I always seem to do that)...

"Greased Lightning" - Richard Pryor (1981?)

Boot-legger turned stockcar racer who moves into the big-time
world of NASCAR.  Great flick - good natured, well acted, good
cinematography, and believable story.  =)

Cheers!

That was based on a true story. Wendell Scott who used to race at South Boston,
VA.

It was called Greased Lightning.  It was based on the life of Wendell
Scott, NASCAR's first African-American driver, and an all around nice
guy.  The movie is good, if slightly inaccurate.  Unfortunatly, we
lost Wendell about 10 years ago.
