				Rush--Hunt vs Lauda by Ron Howard
			 
			
			Most of you will recall the 1976 F1 season when James Hunt and Niki Lauda went at it.  Lauda was involved in a horrific accident at the Nurburgring but returned to fight to the end-to everyone's delight/amazement.  Ron Howard is making a movie of the season called "Rush".  Original footage and actual 1976 F1 cars are being used.

			I don't recall much about the 1976 season. Because I was 6.

			Remember it well... and Niki is one tough SOB. Met him twice... he is also very nice.
