Post by: v-drive video on March 29, 2010, 07:56:29 PM: Check out "BMX bandits", "meatballs 3" and the old Elvis movie "Clambake" for more flatty's in movies. "Madison is another cool movie based on an old unlimited Hydro racing team.

There's someone currently trying to sell a script to Hollywood with a ton of boatracing in it.
