1970’s – Draggin’ Into The 70’s – Volume 1

1971 Drag Racing film “Drag Racer” excerpts – (52 min)
A rare 1971 drag racing drama that follows the efforts of a youth trying to get a ride in a Top Fuel dragster.
Many familiar actors including Preston Pierce, Deborah Walley, and Jeremy Slate, and many drag racers of
the day. This is NOT the entire film, as the movie is very slow, tedious, poorly acted, so I just have the best
parts excepted here in order to fit on this DVD set. Remember, this is a drama, not event coverage, but this
film is just loaded with excellent in-car Top Fuel dragster footage. – Condition (Excellent).
