80 and there was just no way they could do it and three to four months that they had to get ready it took them a month or so to realize that and then next thing you know is like oh here we need this this and this and so we um provided all the cars from the '90s era when had the laughing clown car and and that that was actually part of our collection for a while and uh that car was sold to a guy up in Pennsylvania and uh kind of wish we still had that car actually now uh but at the time when you have so many race cars and things in the way you need room and uh most of the building stuff was here and then we would actually film a lot of our scenes we were unit 2 so we filmed a lot at night while the first unit will frell and John Riley and those guys would film during the day so there was a lot of times when it was 24-hour production schedules were so crazy I remember will frell actually wanted to meet me it's a funny story he won't remember this of course but he wanted to meet me because we like I say we supplied some of the cars and and he sent word over hey come over there or somebody did Will wants to meet you and I'm like look I'm busy you guys aren't going to get a movie if I don't get my job done so I was always busy and then one day they actually filmed all the Victory Lane shots in the movie were filmed in our parking lot they built two or three different sets and then would change the the signs California Speedway Martinsville or whatever Speedways they use they changed the signs and all the group shots were done here in our parking lot so he was over here that day and we were working on the car and he came over and they're like here meet will and I remember shaking his hand and I'm like look I got to go I'm making your movie uh like I said he won't remember that but I did it was it was funny I wish I would have got to talk to him a little bit more but you know those scenes were fun my kids uh they're all grown now but they were all out there in the Victory Lane scenes except the one and U the one where he met his wife they came and threw all the kids out they had to come and sit in the office then but uh they were out there in the crowd when they you know say cheer and stuff but it was neat to to drive in to work and you look over and you know Michael Clark Duncan was you know like he's sitting there in the in your parking lot doing doing uh doing stuff so it was pretty neat the the magic man and all those scenes and stuff were right out here…
