The winner, number 53:Jim Douglas,
driving a Class-D Special:
1:28:07
- Congratulations.
- Oh, thanks.
- Good race,Jim.
1:28:09
- Yeah, thanks, Ray.
- Boy, was Herbie ever great today.
1:28:12
I was out there too. Wouldnt you say
that was a fair piece of driving?
1:28:14
Hey, Im not trying to take
anything away from you...
1:28:16
but you gotta admit that this
little guy backed you all the way.
1:28:19
Yeah. Its a nice little car.
1:28:21
You know somethin else?
1:28:23
For the first time in a long while,
I felt my real self out there today.
1:28:27
I mean, a sense of authority
like the top drivers have, you know?
1:28:30
I kinda felt you felt that.
1:28:33
Tennessee, I wouldnt admit this
to anybody else, but...
1:28:35
I was beginnin to think
Id never be anything more than
a piston-happy, lead-foot punk.
1:28:42
Then this starts to happen.
1:28:44
Im glad for you,Jim.
1:28:46
You know that.
1:28:48
Well, hello.
1:28:49
I see you finally learned how to handle
this car. Congratulations.
1:28:53
- Thank you.
- What have you done to this thing?
1:28:56
Oh, an adjustment here,
an adjustment there.
1:28:58
Do you want to sell it back?
I own most of it anyway, you know.
1:29:00
- Still 23 payments to go.
- Well, uh--
1:29:03
Ill tell you what Ill do.
Ill take the car and give you $ 1 ,000 clear.
1:29:07
- Now what do you say to that?
- No. You dont wanna do that.
1:29:10
Its all right, Tennessee.
I know what Im doing.
1:29:12
I think Mr Thorndyke is a little mixed up
as to who or what won that race.
1:29:16
-And what does that mean?
-Someday, Ill teach you not to confuse...
1:29:19
- the car with the driver.
- I should welcome the opportunity.
1:29:22
Mr Thorndyke, I think
thats a very good idea of yours.
1:29:25
- What is?
- Youre racing in the Libra Open...
1:29:28
- at Riverside the end of the month, right?
- Yes.
1:29:30
Well, Im sure that Mr Douglas
would like to get the remainder
of his payments off his back.
1:29:34
No doubt. But why should I think
thats such a good idea?
1:29:36
Well, if Mr Douglas
entered the race...
1:29:38
he could bet his share of the little car
against the remaining payment.
1:29:42
What do you say, Douglas? The winner
to become the sole owner of the car.
1:29:51
A moment ago, you mentioned
teaching me a lesson.
1:29:54
Do I now detect a note of timidity?
1:29:59
Racing. Thats the name
of the game, isnt it?
