All those who have a DVD player hooked up to a big screen with a surround sound system owe it to themselves to watch a short Imax film called "Super Speedway." It's not much of a story (it's about the Andrettis), but the photography is spectacular. Some scenes were filmed with an Imax camera mounted on a race car that was scooting along at over 200 mph. And the surround sound is state of the art. Paul Stenquiust
