Ted Johnson, a salesman and occasional racing promoter from Wichita Falls, Texas, had a plan to settle the debate, and he shared his concept through an advertisement in the March 8, 1978, issue of National Speed Sport News. When each season drew to a close, race fans - and competitors - often disagreed as to which outlaw racer had enjoyed the most successful season. Working with them was great and we had unprecedented access to material, while they were also very receptive to ideas.Forty-five years ago - on Saturday night, Maan upstart organization that would eventually reshape the motorsports landscape had a rather inauspicious beginning.ĭuring the mid-1970s, the popularity of “outlaw” sprint car racing was growing across the country as drivers such as Jan Opperman, Rick Ferkel and Bobby Allen barnstormed the nation’s dirt tracks in search of the sport’s richest rewards.We are continuing to build that out, and it may come to console and PC eventually. We also have been channeling some Speed Racer (and Fast and Furious vibes) in our recent Apple Arcade title Agent Intercept. I posted on Twitter about it recently with some screens from the prototype However, we had already done a quick port of the game to PS3 to push forward the project quickly. There were plans for a sequel movie (focused more on the Racer X story I think) and associated game, but already in the first week of the movies release it was only tracking at half of what WB needed it to in order for WB to move forward (the game actually did 4x expectation!).It sucked stripping stuff out that made the game better. We essentially had to remove many effects and textures which gave a greater sense of speed and the replay/tracking cameras which necessarily had hard cuts that triggered the detection device. All communication around it was handled by phone because nobody wanted to commit to a paper trail in case there was liability for something eventually. Unfortunately the machine was super sensitive when it came to videogames. They suddenly rolled out a new set of tests you had to adhere to which was essentially avoiding triggering a machine designed to detect whether TV content could induce epileptic fits.
