This movie is currently available on Amazon Prime. A pretty good documentary about a year in James Garner's racing career. Filmed in 1969 so lots of C10s and 20s especially in the Daytona scenes. So if your stuck at home you can try and count all the Glamour trucks.

Thanks! Always liked him. He did some of his own driving in the movie Grand Prix until a fire at Brands Hatch...then they re-thought that idea.

I'm watching it right now. My wife is even interested.

Update- it was pretty good, but I was a little disappointed that his offroad 442 wasn't in there.
