It was a much simpler time - look at the team haulers. I'm just hoping that it's a better portrayal of Lauda and Hunt than "Days of Thunder"s portrayal of Tim Richmond and Harry Hyde. That turned 2 complex & unique individuals into cartoons.
Hollywood should consider a Jan Opperman biopic - Johnny Depp could star. A great quote, best as I can remember :"I went over to Bogar's shop to talk about taking his ride. I was a hippie from California, with beads and a peace sign, so I asked Hentzelman (Bogar's mechanic) "What's your philosiphy of racin'?" He spit some tobacco juice in the corner, thought a minute, and said "Piss runs downhill.."
I knew right then, we was gonna be fast!"
I'll post a video of Opp in it's own thread.
