Hi :

I just pick up a classic double relase of Fireball 500 (1966 ) and Thunder Alley ( 1967 ) at the local video outlet store .
Fireball 500 :
When Dytona bound Dave ( Frankie Avalon ) stops in a small town to run some moonshine and race against a cocky local named Leander ( Fabian) , he not only gets noticed by Leander's girl ( Annette Funicello ) ... but also the feds.
MGM presentd Midnight Movies, also includes Harvey Lembeck ( Eric VonZipper from Beach flicks ) and Chill Wills .

Along with The Lively Set ,one of may favourite racing /type of movies. Great driving in the 'shine runs. The best is the Fireball 500 custom car,the coolest looking car I have ever seen. I am an avid Rally fan so I appreciate great driving.

The other I have not seen yet but will comment after viewing if anyone cares. It stars Fabian and Annette .

Hopefully , The Lively Set will be released soon.
