It's a coma movie

One of the very worst - Two Thumbs Way Down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I watch a lot of movies and I must say this is with out a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever seen ever. I could not even finish watching it. Nothing realistic about it. The acting stunk, the dialog was beyond bad, it was the worst and the costumes not even kind of believable. I mean to say I have never seen such clean clothes on farm boys or racers. Low budget or not, just really, really bad movie making!!!!! In my opinion it is an extreme waste of time. I really have a hard time believing that this film ever made it off of the cutting room floor. This movie does not put you to sleep it puts you in a coma!

What a mistake watching this !

I gave the minimum rating as I had absolutely no fun and no emotions while watching this boring flick.

Such a poor, flat and annoying movie. I won't go deep into it as it not worth the effort, but let me just mention a few things: -poor acting -almost no story -cheap love story side -no racing -no thrill at all ... If you still think you should give it a try, you will end up waiting for the whole for something meaningful to happen.

The only way this could be interesting is probably if you were born in caroline in the early 1900s. Luckily i didn't have to pay to watch this failure.

How can it get such a rating ?

Movie ok

Movie was ok but the audio sucked. One scene it's blaring loud the next it's a whisper. Better get a real audio tech ! Drama needs some help too but audio was the worst and annoying.

A story of an early example of the love or racing

I grew up in the generation following this story, but it appealed to me for several reasons. First of all, I have loved dirt track racing since my father took me to them as a kid back in the day in south Texas, so for me, this movie is real. It isn't the typical Hollywood fare these days, not by a long shot, but it is a real story of love of struggle, of persistence, and of following one's dreams. It's slow in the beginning, but that beginning also lays the foundation for the rest of the film as there are both story and character development happening, and the result is a lovely story of what love, and dedication and following our dreams will bring so long as we don't give up.

A need for speed

For a movie about racing, it sure was slow. All drama, well at least an attempt at drama that never really hit. The racing was few and far between. Combined with the terrible acting I suggest you pass on this.

Goofs
At about 40 minutes in, when the two boys set out to race around the crude dirt oval, one of the interior shots shows a modern-day seat belt on the door post.
