The 20th anniversary of the filming of Days of Thunder is here and it sure brings back a lot of memories for me. Having been a young man during the filming, coming to grips with that having happened 20 long years ago is pretty wild. Where does the time go?
We were asked to get one of the original movie cars back in running condition, and it is a real blast from the past. To see how things used to be done is really educational for some of the younger guys, but for those of us who were around back then, it’s just like coming home to an old friend. To see these photos of Tom Cruise and Rick Hendrick driving the old car and a new, two-seat, C.O.T. version of the #46 City Chevrolet around Daytona, just brings it all full-circle for me.
