Wasn't there a movie with James Caan or Steve Mcqueen that was about roller derby ?
I remember (sort of) seeing it when I was a little kid .

Nauti Girl: See if you can find a copy of the old Raquel Welch Movie.
In the "Good Old"days it was a fun sport but now its W.W.F. on roller skates.
Two Teams, Each Team having both
men and women, Men raced men and women raced women.
Raced on a steep banked track on
Roller Skates, Not a easy sport to
master.

Happy belated Bday Mike!! :D

Guys - I was just kidding, I know what roller derby is. I think they used to have it on USA or FX not too long ago. Thanks for taking the time to explain anyways. You guys are great!! :D :D

G-Man: NO Specs was a Jammer and
the best in his time,
With him "Speed" skating and Red
Smart blocking the "T"Birds were the
#1 Team for years.
Last I heard Ralphie lives close to
you in OC. :D

Mike....Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but little Ralphie passed away about 3-5 years ago :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

There was a small article in the paper concerning his death....natural causes...If I recall correctly, he was about 54 years of age.

Sorry about that...
