2001 La Carrera Panamericana. Documentary following 7 day mexican car race. Tells an entertaining story of a young man, Mike Anderson, who through much collective effort between him and his friends, rescued, modified and raced a 1954 Mercury Monterey to the Finish Line in the 2001 Mexican Road race (La Carrera Panamericana). Being familiar with the race I know how hard that was to do.I thoroughly enjoyed this film.A must see for fans of the race.
La Carrera Panamericana draws road-rally enthusiasts from all over the world. The 2000 mile course runs from the wild highlands of the Guatemalan border, north to Nuevo Laredo, across the Rio Grande in Texas. In 2001, Mike Anderson stepped away from his daily life in Nevada to race the dream of a lifetime. He and his dedicated team of classic car enthusiasts scoured junkyards, finding a 1954 Mercury, restoring the car to racing glory.
