Stroker Ace, starring Burt Reynolds was not some serious race piece by a lot, but did predate Days of Thunder by 7 years. And Loni Anderson was in it, and at the time was a hot young newbie to the movie scene. The music from Stroker Ace may not be as famous as the big budgets sounds of Days of Thunder, but we are okay with that because the theme song, by Charlie Daniels, is awesome.
This video is pretty killer too as it shows the beginning of the movie with Stroker’s first real experience in a fast moving car. You’ll dig the video and the song, so click the play button on the screen to watch.
Hold on I’m going to have to stand on it. I like how he shifts in fast motion
and God Bless you Hal Needham for great movies from my child hood.
