Genius, to take an otherwise obscure story and tell it like it should be told. Bert is famous outside the world of land speed fans like myself now. A true hero like many others in that field.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again.
who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
The moment at the gas station where the motorcycle club pulls up. The young fella and Burt share a moment that any man or youngster should feel fortunate to have even just once in their life.
There is a great driving lesson in this movie, "if you drive the car you should in middle of the road", as my memory it is very interesting moment in this movie.
