I ought to go back

in the room and change.

We're gonna run out

of sponsors someday.

We might have done it today.

I wonder what he paid for that.

I don't even know why I try.

Ok, who's gonna buy the winner a drink?

Ok, I'll have 2 beers.

You know that number 10

you asked about--

Aubrey James--

Today's winner?

There he is.

You know stroker?

What town are we in?

Daytona.

Damn! I think he's with my girl here.

What's her name?

I don't know her first name.

Last time I saw her,

her sash said "miss Daytona."

That's probably her last name.

Stroker Ace!

You gonna be so glad I called you.

Anytime I see Clyde Torkle,

I get worried.

I can handle Clyde.

He's putty in my hands.

Hello, Clyde.

Is that god's own race car,

or what is it?

What is it?

I got my name up there!

Yep.

What's it look like?

This car would be

disqualified in 2 seconds.

Why?

Your engine's set too far back,

you got an oversized carburetor,

and nitrous oxide is

automatic 6-month suspension.

This ain't a Bible class.

Everybody cheats a little.

What kind of contract?

5 years.

4. 2. A year.

The contract will read 3 years.

You like the car?

I like the car, not him.

He don't like you.

He's supposed to like the car, not me.

Here's your contract.

It's bigger than

my high school yearbook.

You went to high school?

One year. Ooh.

Got a pen?

Ain't you gonna read it?

Of course I am! You think I'm stupid?

Good god...

Hey, there's no writin' on this paper.

It's upside down.

You just want to get through all this.

I got to read it!

Get to the important--

Oh, shoot!

I forgot to tell you

about the uniforms.

We're gonna have red ones

and some black ones.

The red ones have black trim.

The black will be

mostly black with some red.

Are they tailored?

They'll be real tight-fittin'.

You couldn't wear one, could you?

I wouldn't want to wear one--

Here's where you sign. Sign there.

All black?

A little white on some.

Shoot! I bet I look good in that.

You will. Women will drop like flies.

And driving out of waycross, Georgia,

in a Clyde Torkle chicken pit special,

here's stroker Ace...

The fastest chicken in the south!

Say what?

It's on your car.

Ha ha ha!

Bawk!

Bawk bawk bawk!

Fastest chicken in the south.

Fastest chicken in the south.

Fastest chicken in the south.

I've got "fastest chicken

in the south" on my car.

Oh, yes.

That guy clucked at me.

Whup him!

I'm not gonna have that on my car.

Yes, you are.

It's in your contract.

Arnold.

Here you go.

Page 417, paragraph "a,"

subparagraph "b,"

little letter "c."

Gentlemen, start your engines!

Waahh ha ha!

Whooo!

Whoo hoo!

Whooo!

Whoo hoo!

I don't think he's coming down.
