Yes, we use the point system out here (my high score: 4,830 in 1985).

The spoof on Howard Cossell (sp?) is funny too.  Plus the total casualness
with which the characters deal with the concept of running people down.  And
then there's the nursing home...

(technicality - yes, it's in. Race officials are fair game)

I'd love to see it again.
