I just got an autographed picture from Cha Cha a few months ago at a speed shop car show in Chino, CA. Understand that she is no fan of the movie.
And most of the racers hated her too. She did an interview a few months back & pretty much shit on every racer she ever faced. Then she laid into all the female racers today- saying they wouldn't be shit w/o her leading the way. A real piece of work. I never liked her. I watched the movie (again) - acting is terrible, story is lame hollywood but lots of vintage footage, cars & racers in the background. I mostly watch it for my old friend & announcer Steve Evans. RIP
Hahaha I just watched it! Haven't seen that one in years, but it sure is better after about 5 Coors Lights! Shiteous acting but great drag footage...and Bonnie Bedelia was pretty hot for a lady of the 80's.
