Things I learned from watching Days of Thunder..


1) Whenever you need to pass someone on a race track, all you need to do is shift gears..even if you're doing 175 m.p.h. and are already in 4th gear.

136. It would help Cole out if he had a car that handled properly and didn't blow engines.
137. If Cole wouldn't get excited and over-rev it, the sumbitch wouldn't blow up.
138. Buddy started hearing all kinds of voices.
139. Harry can drive the *beep* out of a tractor to spread a lil fertilizer 'round now and then.
140. Harry likes to talk to cars...lonely bastard.
141. Rowdy never returns to racing and later loses an arm before eventually turning into a zombie. At least he remained in the south.
142. Buck changed his name to Cal Naughton Jr and became a driver.
143. Rowdy isn't a car battery, he doesn't need recharging.
144. Buck enjoys making fun of blind people.
145. Apparently in 1990, aerodynamics didn't mean a damn thing at Daytona.
146. If Rowdy wasn't going to get his head fixed by a doctor, Cole was prepared to fix it with a baseball bat. "What's it gonna be?!?!"

If there was a trick, there must be a Trickster...

All these things we've learned and no one mentions the most obvious...

150. Rubbin' is racin'

Also, if you want to have a good movie about racing it is mandatory that you have Hans Zimmer score the music (Days of Thunder, Rush).
