It was on, and I watched bits and pieces of it, but don't remember the exact
time since I was trying to keep up with the 48-hour marathon of continuous
"Leave it to Beaver" reruns on Nick at Nite . . . :-)
I didn't tape it, and what I saw of it was REALLY terrible - even though
it's got some 60's footage. One "race", for example, is pieced together from
footage taken at least four different tracks. Most of the race clips are
each just a couple of seconds long and many are so blurred and/or quickly
panned that you can't recognize car numbers or drivers. One driver
mysteriously destroyed the same car three times in the same corner in a
single race.
For whatever that's worth,
