Return To MacoReturn to Macon Countyn County:
In 1958, two teenagers take their pride and joy, a hopped-up Chevy, and start a cross-country journey to enter it in the National Championship drag races in California. Along the way they hook up with a pretty but dingy waitress who quits her job and hops in their car--and turns out to be more trouble than they thought--drag-race a gang of town punks who lose to to them and then accuse them of cheating, and come up against a local cop who is obsessed with putting these two "juvenile delinquents" in jail.
    
Trivia:

During filming, Don Johnson stayed at the Alman Brother's farm located in the Jones County Side of Juliette.

Look for the racing scene to see the tracks and bridge in Juliette.  It was filmed just east of McCrackin Street on Juliette Rd.

Bowdoin's Grocery store is featured (located at the corner of Hwy 87 and Juliette Rd).  You can see the original brick facing and signs.  The front counter though looks much as it does to this day.
