This week, Ford vs Ferrari will be under review, and as a person who actually watched this movie I have to say, personally I thought it was really good.

In Loving Memory – Ralph “Dale” Earnhardt Senior
February 18, 2001 would go on to mean more to Dale Earnhardt’s family than he would ever know. Not only was it the day of the biggest race of the year, one of which his son was part of, it was also the last day he would be seen alive. ~ Known as the fearless “intimidator”, Earndhardt lived up to his nickname, even in his last minutes of being alive. He was racing in a three man team, acting as the rear gunner for his teammates in an attempt to block any other contenders from securing the win. Lap 3 was a success but it was Lap 4 that would…
