this one have be a favorite of mine ever since i first watch it on cable in the late 70 . richard pryor be just perfect a wendell scott and the first black stock car race champion . the rest of the cast be great a well and all perfect in their role . this be definitely a perfectly cast film . the film itself be very decent but do have a few problem and most notably that once wendell start race there seem to be too many large gap in time and a if a lot of footage that have be leave on the cutting room floor . but the script do move along well even with that problem . i would think pryor fan especially would pick this up on dvd if it ever get a proper release and in widescreen and some commentary and and with those obviously delete scene leave behind . hopefully this will be on dvd before some hollywood clown remake this with ton of computer effect crap and ruin the whole thing .
