Racing Fever

I was seven years old and was an extra in this movie. My aunt is Maxine Carole one of the stars of this turkey. She admits that it is a bad movie and that it is the only one she ever made. My dad and other family members were also extras in this movie. I played a spectator who just witnessed the death of a race boat driver who was killed in some sort of racing accident. His bloody body was wheeled past me on a dock in Miami and we were to all act shocked and/or grief stricken by the event.

This was a bit of a family affair, my Grandfathers yacht was used to shoot some scenes and my Dad can be seen in the background of bar scene talking to some woman, not my mother, very upsetting for a seven year old.

We all saw the movie at a drive in in Miami. It stunk, but being at the drive in and seeing yourself on the big screen was cool. I wish this movie were on video somewhere. It would be cool to watch and laugh at.
