Why Lady Driver is ACTUALLY GOOD...seriously

[@EricBurns1]

Dirt oval racing (just called dirt racing in the US) is pretty interesting. I’ve only been to one night of dirt racing but it was fun. If you’ve watched any NASCAR and seen guys make huge saves there’s a good chance those guys grew up on dirt tracks.

Ya dirt is really cool. Growing up in the Northeast USA there wasn't really any dirt racing so I'm used to paved tracks, but dirt is fun. My flex though is that super modifieds are very prevalent where I grew up ;) For those that have no idea what I'm talking about, look up S1apSh0es video on them.

[@TheUnusualSuspect]

Man, this movie really shot itself in the foot with its title. Lady Driver!? It sounds like a crappy Asylum production ripoff of Baby Driver.

[@unknownuser8228]

Probably made by thr asylum

[@blazetray7782]

I thought thats what it was before this vid.

[@RACECAR]

@@unknownuser8228 Decided to look up who made this movie and actually no, it was not made by The Asylum at all. They were too busy with Masterpieces like Battle Star Wars (The Rise of Skywalker ripoff), Homeward (Onward Ripoff) and Top Gunner (One of Two ripoffs of the recently released Top Gun Maverick, The sequel being "Top Gunner: Danger Zone" because they REALLY wanted to make sure you knew what they were ripping off despite having a limited theatrical release)

[@FormulaFox]

That style of dirt Modified(known as an "E-Mod" but only regularly referred to as such at tracks that are on the borders of Big Block Modified Territory - AKA, the Northeastern US) is one of the best, and possibly even THE best, balance of cost to performance in ALL of motorsports. Depending on the specifics rules in your area, you can get a competitive car for 20K all-in(and they top out in the 40K range) and good maintenance will keep the same engine and chassis racing competitively without a rebuild a for SEVERAL years. There are HUNDREDS of these things racing on chassis originally built in the 80's that are still winning races today. The only class of cars that might be more numerous on American dirt tracks are sprint cars, and that's only due to a rise in prevalence of restricted-engine variations(Late Models have had the same issue and been saved by the same thing, but they're definitely NOT as numerous as Modifieds). I just wish they still used the 1990s narrow-body designs. The modern widebodies make them too Late Model-like. But they're still a bargain by comparison(late models prices START where Modifieds top out), and put on great shows - there's plenty of videos here on KZbin to take a look at, people! Get on it!

[@michaelredford5389]

My Racing movie when growing up was Herbie Fully Loaded. Having never heard of this film, even I can tell there's a lot of story beats that are repeated in both movies. I guess there was a certain structure for movies of that plot during that decade.

[@theodentherenewed4785]

As much as I love racing, I detest films about it. I'm in it for the racing itself, not for the stories around it and eccentric characters. They try to depict 24h of Le Mans for instance, but the magic of the event is that the race lasts 24 hours. You can't convey this sensation through a 2-hour movie no matter what you do.

[@aaronflores21af]

I thought the pacing in the movie was really well done I just got finished watching it it almost felt like it ended fast and left me wanting more but the movie flowed Soo smoothly to a nice couple of climaxes that's how you can tell whenever a movie is really well done that it covers everything and still feels like it ended too quickly and makes you crave for more it's great

Josh, your incredible delivery just make this so believable. Horrendous.

So there is that time where I lived my wet dream vicariously through a teenage girl in middle america in some random straight to netflix movie. But I pay my therapist a lot to deal with that.

[@brockstar1461]

overall I liked this movie. The part that bugs me is last race with the dad on an in car radio as a spotter. That isn't a thing. Dirt track racing doesn't have spotters. Only kind of radio they get is from race control telling them where to line up or when there is a yellow. The drivers can't talk back.
