May be...
One scene was BASED on an anecdote about Tim Richmond..
The one where he goes berserk, and crashes into the Taxi cab,
and Nicole Kidman gets angry..
Tim really did that at Fort Lauderdale International Airport with James
Johnson (the manager of Hendrick Motor Sports, at the time.. Not to be confused with Jimmie) halfway out of the car, after James delivered his
new Corvette..
The rest of the movie was invented, with a couple of stories thrown in
that involved other drivers..
Some of the characters, on the other hand, were loosely based on real people..
sorry to offend anyone :)
I enjoyed that DVD very much.
>>>>Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick.>>>>>
>>>>>>The secrecy surrounding the circumstance of his death caused speculation for several days.[18] On August 23, his death was revealed to be caused by AIDS, which he had acquired from an unknown woman.[18] In the press conference, his physician Dr. David Dodson said: "There's no way of knowing who that woman was. Tim was a celebrity with a lot of charisma, a handsome guy. He naturally attracted a lot of women.>>>>>
The last two paragraphs were from Wikipedia but I do recall reading the name of the woman who claims she is the one who infected Tim...can't find it right now though.
