Pit Stop (1969 Film)
''Pit Stop'' is a 1969 film directed by Jack Hill and starring Brian Donlevy and Richard Davalos. It was the final film for Hollywood veteran Brian Donlevy. Plot Rick, a brash, hustling, opportunistic amateur drag racer, is courted by affluent Grant Willard, who wants him to participate in his burgeoning Figure 8 stock car racing competitions, where the driving pattern guarantees crashes and injuries. Rick quickly starts trying to undermine a popular star of Willard's races, Hawk Sidney, who is prone to over-the-top boasting and taunts. Rick succeeds in defeating him, and wooing away Jolene, a groupie he had been keeping time with. Initially, Hawk reacts violently, destroying Rick's car after a race and beating him up. However, the two men ultimately come to a respectful truce.

Willard encourag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Penelope Pitstop
Penelope Pitstop is a fictional character who appeared in the 1968 Hanna-Barbera animated series '' Wacky Races'' and the spin-off '' The Perils of Penelope Pitstop'', and was voiced by Janet Waldo. She also appeared in the 2017 series of ''Wacky Races''. Background Penelope "Penny" Pitstop is a southern belle, and the only female racer in the original ''Wacky Races'' lineup, driving a pink car known as The Compact Pussycat which has personal grooming facilities that would sometimes backfire on other racers, such as shampoo foam hitting their faces. She always has time to relax and worry about her looks, because her car is like a beauty parlor. Penelope Pitstop also has a habit of holding her arm out in the breeze to dry newly applied nail polish, which the others mistake for a turn signal (this habit once sent the Roaring Plenty into a cactus). Peter Perfect had a crush on her, a feeling that was returned, and always tried to help her; in "Dash to Delaware", they almost en ...
