American Grafitti anyone???

Good film, I have it but thought he was talking about racing films, although there is lots of build up there is only one drag race

Thunder in Carolina (1960). Stock car racer Rory Calhoun initially appears to be a manipulative, win-at-any-cost, womanizing driver, but soon reveals his better nature. This tribute to NASCAR centers on the Southern 500 race at Darlington and includes great footage from an actual Southern 500 race plus the parade through downtown Darlington, the Miss Southern 500 beauty pageant, etc. There are also some good scenes of driving along twisting South Carolina mountain roads.
