'Spotswood' is a classic Australian drama film released in 1992. The film was titled 'The Efficiency Expert' in the United States.

Sir Anthony Hopkins played the lead role, with Russell Crowe also in the cast.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

I really like the track layout - especially the dip on the straight!

Interesting that the "tunnel" is a complete blind spot!

Very kool - thanks, Greg!

There should be a US remake. I'm sure we could find more than enough "characters" to play the slot car racers!!! :laugh2:

Talk about "run whatcha brung."

We have Grand Prix and LeMans back to back starting at 1 PM today here in Cincinnati.

What we need is "Slot Cars the Movie." Featuring Greg "The Cheater" Wells as A.J. Camshaft, defending World Champion slot car racer. :laugh2: :crazy:

Jeff, it would have to be on an XXX-rated channel.

I have seen that movie and like that it shows the fun that slot racing can be.

Matt,

I think Jeff was asking about the info "We have Grand Prix and LeMans back to back starting at 1 PM today here in Cincinnati."

I guess I should have used the quote option.

I was asking about Grand Prix and LeMans.

It's a local over the air channel 20.1 called "Movies".

Hi Matt,

That line was in my post #4.

It's hell getting old, isn't it. :laugh2:

I did catch the innuendo Matt.

I've got both "Grand Prix" and "Le Mans" on both VHS and DVD. But I always try to watch them when they are on TV anyway.

There is a slot car scene in "Grand Prix" as well.

The Gran Prix scene looks pretty neat. Maybe a Scalex track?

Butch that post was so long ago, I don't remember it! A couple days a week I go to lunch with a bunch of my old hot rod buddies. My wife says "what do you talk about day after day"? I say, "same thing, we all forgot we talked about it yesterday".
