Dear Speedway fan,
If you are at all interested in open-wheel speedway racing then set your My-Sky or reserve the remote for Jan 15th.
On TCM (channel 24 on Sky Digital) is a movie called, "To Please a Lady."
It features Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck and the story is pretty hokey .... HOWEVER ... Mister Gable is a midget car driver and the classic open-wheel racing scenes are absolutely brilliant.
He goes from 1/4 mile dirt to a "big-car" racing at the Indy 500 (1950 ?)
The racing scenes as I said are amazing and when you consider it was all done pre computer graphics it's incredible what they achieve.
So, there you are ... Channel 24, January 15th, with a repeat on the 16th.
You can thanks me later.

If anyone is mates with Gordon McIssac, they may like to let him know this is on.
I was reminded yesterday that there are several legendary midget drivers featured in the film.
cheers

10.25pm that night, repeated at 6.25am and 2.25pm the next day (16th), and yes, was made in 1950.
