Duvall is great.

No, no, no, no.......he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you. He rubbed you. And rubbin', son, is racin'.

As a lad growing up, I must of watched that movie 60-70 times -- every week if I was bored. Thats the great thing about being a kid, you can just enjoy the movie without getting analytical about it.

FANTASTIC QUOTE!! We used to travel across Australia racing BMX bikes, and that quote 'he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you. He rubbed you. And rubbin', son, is racin' -- translated over to the BMX track often. It always made us laugh too :)

Also, the son-ofa-bitch lines were awesome. Genious really! I thought Duvall was the greatest actor back then, still is really.

Rubbin' is racin'. Great quote, but the director had them slamming into each other at EVERY TURN. The quote is fine and it sort of made the movie, but this is not bumper cars.

Anyway, any film that references Harry Gant is alright in my book...
