Drag strip riot

[Walter F.]

Not sure how to post u tube films, maybe some of you guys know about this class B movie but its filled with 56-57 Corvettes. I don't know if Chevrolet was behind production and it, like most low budget 50's movies is a little corny, but worth watching.

Wow, My wife used to work for American International Pictures in Boston. I'll have to show this to her.

It's Corvettes, so it's TECHNICAL !

edit.....A bit corny.

Re: Drag strip riot

Can you imagine the budget you would need for six Corvettes like that now? Back then one of the running jokes was that American International pictures were limited to a budget of $1,000 and the director could keep whatever was left over.

Besides, it's got Fay Wray (yes, THAT Fay Wray) and Connie Stevens. How can you lose?!

Re: Drag strip riot
