Not long ago I re-read the story of the Surfers and Mike Sorkin.
How the story of those guys has never been made into a Movie is
beyond me. That team pretty much invented Nitro methane injection
and likely were one of the most influential "Digger" teams ever. They
won the largest Drag race in History (Bakersfield 1966) against over
200 other Diggers, and changed the sport. Both their lives and the
tragic death of Sorkin is the stuff great movies are made of, and if done
well would be great for the sport. I can imagine that collecting the Cars
and other items to shoot any video at the track would be a great challenge,
but I would bet everyone in the sport would step up and help make it
happen. I understand there are a lot of great stories. The Pink Lady
got a movie as did the Enders Girls, but I do believe that the History and
flat out amazing story of the Surfers, would be great for Drag Racing
and perhaps show folks why in the 60's and early 70's Nascar, the NFL
the indy 500 were all back seaters compared to Drag Racing. It captivated
America. The Surfers would be the first ones to say how regulation and
cookie cutter race cars, identical other than paint would kill the attraction
(At the level it once enjoyed) very similar to what were seeing in Nascar
today. Just a thought Guys, boring day at work, and sick of remakes and
political Movies. Nothing better than a great story that is also true. My
favorite topic is the bonus.

Example: Recently I watched a Movie (can't remember the name) about
the Guy that invented Radar and helped build the protection network used
by the British during the Battle of Britten. That guy pretty much saved
the world and did save England, but no one new his name until well after
the war, and he was not recognized until decades after. He was even told
that telling his wife would result in execution. Great Movie because it was
true and told an important story. Beats the hell out of Zombies.
