Fun Facts
- The racetrack featured in the second half of this episode and throughout part II was the Riverside International Raceway. It was torn up in the late '80s and is now the Moreno Valley Mall and some housing.
- Candi stays at the Mission Hills Inn on Sepulveda Boulevard. It's now called the Valley Inn & Conference Center. View in Google Maps
Mistakes
- The same two trucks (Blue Peterbilt 352 and White GMC Astro) that are at the truckstop in the opening magically appear together behind ponch and Jon after the cut scene.
- While in the reports room, Ponch is explaining to Lenny why Jon has had a bad day, including letting a stolen truck get away. Getraer then walks in and informs them that the truck was stolen.
- The Palma Vista cops went on strike because of a stock car race?
- The cars used in the races do not match those used in the stock footage. Even the stock footage cars don't match very well.
- Candi's car changes from a Plymouth Road Runner to a Dodge Charger and back in the filmed scenes.
- When Ponch and Jon are pursuing the dune buggy, their red emergency lights flash alternately. One should be on steady burn per California law. This might be explained by the PVPD cops messing with the bikes.
- During the dune buggy chase, the bike mounted shots are from the older KZ900 bikes.
