It is the most accurate representation of the Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (an actual clandestine event in the 70's) The movie Cannonball was a spoof, entertainment, loosly based on fact. Gumball Rallye is worth watching just to hear the 427 Cobra and Ferrari go at it gear for gear throughout the movie. Wait till you see the opening sequence at O dawn AM in NYC. It will give you chills if you are truely a Ford fan. It was on last weekend and again today. Watch for the Lost Drive Inn on SPEED. SEE Y'ALL Happy New Year >> >>>And don't forget, this movie has recently been released in widescreen on DVD--it's a MUCH better experience! Although unfortunately the sound is still in mono...:<( Mike
