Road Runners
The first classic clip is about outlaw hotrodders who become law-abiding gear heads after a community organizes supervised racing clubs and timing associations. This film shows us a healthy alternative for boys who loved to drive their cars fast: organized drag racing - a fun way to blow off steam and stay out of trouble.

Cool Hot Rod
This film, narrated by a teenager, shows how a hot rod club contributes to safe driving through its strict membership rules and restriction of speed runs to sanctioned "drag strips". It is a great piece of hot rod history! We meet young "Bullet Bill" Bowers who at first is a menace to society. By the end of the film he learns about the rules of the hot rod community and sees the error of his ways.
