Saw the infamous "Rendezvous" short video in Feb 2005 for the first time along
with USFRA starter,Monte Widdison. It was during the unveiling of the new
Miller Motor Sports Park,now being built in Tooele,UT. East of Wendover.
Larry Miller,car dealer & sports team owner showed the video on the "Big"
screen at one of his theaters to set the mood for his race track mass meeting
launch. Needless to say,my fingernails were dug into the armrests,and I was
dizzy when the light came on! Monte just smiled and I'm sure was thinking,
"Rookie".

> On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a
>gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a
>professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of
>Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course
>was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.
>
> No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
>
> The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH
>in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly
>hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.
>
> Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He
>has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground
>until a DVD release a few years ago.
