Last year these two went at it on track and wheel to wheel a number of times. Nico is just getting beat now and he needs to stop acting like a jilted prom date.

More recently he said that he was contacted by Cruises people once he actually heard about it but the film was already "in the can"

He was able to use footage of Cruise, because it was filmed and owned by someone else. A few months ago, Cruise's publicity team wanted Cruise to be in it, as long as they could see a finished product of the doc. It was all very weird.

I had the good fortune to meet, drink a few beers, and talk racing with Paul a couple of times at Summit Point and other northeast tracks.

Do you have links for tickets? I don't see it on their website.

I have seen Aceman's stand up, met him at a mangria signing in seattle, and was at the first showing of "Road Hard," here in Seattle. I got hooked on him through CarCast, and now I consider myself a super fan. Can't wait to see this, as it's his passion... Like Enzo sold cars to go racing, Adam sells comedy to do the

Fun fact: My grandfather had a minor collision with Paul Newman at Lime Rock once. They were pretty good racing buddies, and Mr. Newman signed a broken piece of the car for my grandfather. I don't remember what he wrote, but it was something to the effect of 'Kent, you're an idiot. -Paul'

Favorite shot of Newman, in a Ferrari 365 Daytona Competizione. I still buy his spaghetti sauce just to think of this...

See you there, Derek.

We were there the day they were shooting the Sam Posey segment and got a chance to shoot Adam auto-crossing the Lime Rock Park edition M3 against some of the local guys. Fun times.

I'm bummed the Ace Man doesn't have an East Coast release.

I was at his first SCCA drivers school at Tompson. He started out in a formula ford. Broke that .

It will be on the internet, Not To Worry! Paul, You were awesome! Saw him race at Laguna Seca. My buddys wife followed him around the paddock til she got his autograph. He was in a car, and she was on foot. He would watch in his mirror, and when she got close, he would scoot away! Finally he had mercy, and gave her

So cool..

Already bought a couple tix to the premier (April 16th) in Hollywood for my dad and myself. It's at the El Capitan on Hollywood Blvd. Supposed to have Ace's Newman cars there as well. Can't wait!

No, the real crime was that shitty remake.

This isn’t even vaporware. Makes Will I Am seem legit.

Um, drag radials?? Yes, yes, he got better, etc. Tires make a huge difference in hooking up and timeslips. You can't discount that effect for why he turned in close to 10s.
