Jim Douglas: I'd like another shot at that prize money. Okay for next Sunday?
Bice: No, Jim, it ain't okay.
Jim Douglas: Now, look, Bice, I know...
Bice: No, *you* look. All my drivers are eighteen, nineteen... You're too old for these kid snorts. You're liable to get hurt in there.

Trivia
The yellow "Thorndike Special" was an Apollo GT. Apollos were built in Pasadena, California. The body shells were fabricated in Italy and shipped to the US, where aluminum Buick 215 CID V8 engines were installed. The same company later made another sports car called the Intermeccanica Italia. One of these appears in the Disney movie The Million Dollar Duck. See more »Goofs
Continuity: Shortly before Thorndyke drives Herbie off the road and into a tree, the external view shows Thorndyke's car moving up on the right side oft he road to be parallel, yet in the interior shot with the Thorndyke, his rear window view shows Thorndyke to be clearly on the right lane of the road.
