I grew up going to some of those race tracks during that time. Saw Bobby Rahal, Jim Truesdale, PLN, and I do remember Willy T. I can't recall thinking anything but what a good race driver he was. It was sad to see this film turn into a "poor me"piece. We all wanted to drive race cars back then, and even now still do, but it costs money! He just wasn't a very good salesman. Plain and Simple. Yes, there was alot of racism back then, but things were changing in this country. A lot of white guys helped him in his career. Dont forget that.
