Hot Rods & Drags
Cool Cars Cool Times

This fun nostalgia DVD starts out with one of the best Hot Rod pieces of all times, The Cool Hot Rod. This video has received the Trend Publications Award as the film which most honestly and accurately depicted the true story of the hot rod hobby.

Since World War II a new hobby has appeared in the United States, the sport of building and racing converted stock cars. For a time, these 'hot rods and hot rodders" were considered a menace. This is one of their stories ......

The next great selection on this DVD is Road Runners (1952). Watch how outlaw hot rodders change to become law-abiding club members after a community organizes supervised racing clubs and timing associations. The star of the show is Mel, a hot-rodder who quickly conforms after another car beats him in a street race. He then discovers how being part of the club can not only be fun, but help him race even faster, leading him to the Santa Ana drag strip and the Lake El Mirage timing trials. This video has some great footage of the early strip and time trial action. Good views of homemade hot rods. What we tend to forget today is that drag racing courses were commonplace on the outskirts of American towns in the fifties. It was a way to get teenagers off the streets and for landowners to earn some extra money for land they weren’t using. It’s a shame this had to change.

And last, but certainly not least is Ingenuity in Action (1958). This is a great film made for hot rod fans. It does a great job of explaining how to prepare and enter a car in a national event, the 1958 Hot Rod Nationals. Awesome would not be to mild to describe this film. It's got it all. Fun guys, beautiful cars, wonderful scenery and lots of drag strip action. Listening to the roar of those American V8's is a beautiful sound to behold, and something we don't seem to hear enough of anymore. What’s really good, is the message that it takes team work, discipline and adherence to the rules if you are going to earn the reward for a job well done.
