Track Days Shark Tank Pitch

James LaVitola and Brian Pitt are seeking $5 million to produce a motorcycle racing action movie, Track Days. James is a stunt double with a passion for motorcycle racing and Brian has been part of other successful movie productions. Mark goes out the quickest in Shark Tank history.

James and Brian claim professional motorcycle racing is the second most watched sport in the world. They recognize that making a movie may be a crapshoot but assure the sharks that Brian is "somewhat of an expert in this field." Because it is hard to get the conversation going with actors and other aspects of production without money behind them, James and Brian want to have the $5 million as a bargaining chip but will not use it until the shark signs off on the final script to further protect the shark's investment.

in 2005, which he says became a horror in the sense of getting his money back. All the sharks eventually go out and get their names torn off of the executive producer list.

I saw this exact same deal in an email from Nigeria.

, James LaVitola performed stunts in the films Friday Night Lights, Fast and the Furious, and Transformers until a motorcycle crash forced him to transition to the off-screen side of the business. James contacted his childhood friend Brian Pitt, a movie producer, in hopes of profiting in an untapped market with the goal of releasing Track Days in 2015.

When Shark Tank aired Track Days' episode, James and Brian attempted to raise $2 million on Kickstarter

, but only raised $11k. That solidified the end for Track Days.

While I didn't find what James has been up to it appears Brian Pitt has been a successful producer of many films and continues to have several in the works in 2022 according to imdb.com

, pictures of his movies ranked highly on Netflix, and photos of Lamborghinis, so he seems to be doing very well as of 2022.
