"The Speed Merchants" movie *LINK* *PIC*

I know this is more racing related than watch related, but since we have a lot of racing fans viewing this site I thought it might be of interest. The movie focuses on the time period of some of our favorite Heuer models.

So just an FYI that this great movie is on Speed channel tonight. Check your local listings or www.speedtv.com

Here is a link about the movie:

THE SPEED MERCHANTS is the story of the 1972 manufacturer's Championship Series as told by drivers Mario Andretti (Ferrari 312P) and Vic Elford (Alfa Romeo T33TT/3). The film takes you behind the scenes at Daytona, Sebring, the Targa Florio, the Nurburgring, Le Mans and Watkins Glen, focusing on Mario and Vic, as well as Jacky Ickx, Helmut Marko, and Brian Redman. You visit with the drivers at their homes in France, Belgium, Austria and England where they relax with their families between races. Woven into the film is rare footage of both the Ferrari and Alfa Romeo factories where the cars are prepared before each race. Backed by an original musical score, THE SPEED MERCHANTS gives an unforgettable look at a year in the life of the international racing circuit. 95 minutes. -

So strap on your favorite Heuer and don't miss this classic documentary movie!
