This is one of the few times I will offer my opinion: While I enjoyed Steel Chariots the FOX TV movie shown last night, it was loaded with racing inaccuracies: At the beginning the #20 car(our hero) crashed front first into the was, while the driver is being stretchered away you see the car backwards on a wrecker with the back demolished(the Texas Sacks/Irvan accident), they made a huge deal that they needed someone to qualify the car and get it in the show and not miss the race, but wait….the #20 car was leading the WC points, can you say PROVISIONAL?? And if not at least bring it up and say he had no more(if that was the case), how about the 206mph pole speed at Talladega when the truth is 189-191mph. And finally, at the end when the #9 was constantly bumping the #20 to let him pass, it would probably have put the #20 in the wall the first time. Some of the racing scenes were pretty cool, you could see the use of many tracks at different scenes which were supposed to be at the same track. I did think the redhead girl was cute…anyhow those are my thoughts on the show(9-24-97)
