Ingenuity in Action

Low budget but very well done. A look back at a time in America when the hot rod culture was moving into the mainstream psyche. Our heroes are good boys bringing their self-built hot rods on a road trip to a state wide drag race, featuring so many great cars and a lot of drag race action. Pre Beach Boys California. Crew cuts, ducktails and totally blown gassers. Charming and entertaining short documentary.

This is a great look back at the grassroots of professional drag racing. Only thing is, they weren't quite professionals yet. Back then these people were racing just for the excitement, glory, and love of the sport.
