    re: Michael Bay - agreed. It was below the belt. I’m sorry for saying that Mr. Miller.

    See above.

    Yes. I am saying the Road Warrior (aka 2nd Mad Max film) is better. Max had much more emotional journey, this reboot it was just a long car chase (a super awesome one) to this place that then does not exist anymore so they just go back to the start. I actually even think the original Mad Max is better too - both of…

    Top layer (aka the original films) is shot for shot SO superior... even the ones with Tina Turner. Better to have left good enough alone, and by good enough I mean GREAT.

    WTF Matt?!?! that was California’s best kept driving secret... hope you at least did ‘the dip’ in Ojai, easiest air you’ll ever get. Hit me up for exact location.

    85 years later we reunited a car with that very track... even took a few laps till the neighbors shut us down because of the noise. Also I went by the elementary school right there that was undergoing construction hoping to see if they dug up any relics from the track. Sadly they said no, but they were happy to learn…

    Awesome project... Do you have any Google Map overlays?

    Pretty much just LA - we went in to Orange County to talk about the 1st drag strip - but only briefly. There were/are sooo many more track and cars we'd love to cover.

    This actually started as a Huell Howser show when I met Harold for the show we did on the Corona Road Race - there is footage from that episode in the movie.

    The Burnt Rubber or The Checkered Flag... wish I could be there... someone please have one on my behalf.

    Nathan - You missed the OUTPOST sign... that you can still see bits & pieces of on a Runyon Cyn hike... We did a show with Huell ages ago... and good pics in the link.

    sorry about the multi posts - it said it was not published
