When hot rodding was viewed as a major public menace, it became the focal point of movies, lots of them in the “B” genre. Parents were scared as hell of the “hot rod problem” and would have rather seen their daughters locked in the basement as opposed to riding around with some greasy haired dude in a gow job. This movie plays on all those social fears and does it with some over acting, odd dialogue, and low budget fun.
The move is an hour and ten minutes long and can be viewed by hitting the link below. We were going to say that we’d watch it on our lunch break, but due to budget cuts, work stoppages of all kinds have been banned at BS HQ. Even bathroom breaks have been cut, but we’ll spare you the details on that.

MOVIE LINK: DRAG STRIP GIRL – 1957 FEATURE FILM – FULL LENGTH AND FREE
I really miss the drive-in movie parks when watching old B movies.
Sorry, but I’m not into the rat rod stuff. A rod in primer is one thing. Throwing a pile of dogsh*t together and calling it a hot rod is something different. Also, I don’t need to pay for something I really don’t want to read. Yes, I read more than the captions.
Last issue I got there was a cool article on Linda but oher than that I haven’t been that impressed with the magazine in the past year.
As for Car Crap and (un)Popular Hot Rodding, I haven’t seen an issue of them in about 7 years,let alone buy one. They are a far cry of what they once were in the ’60’s and ’70’s.
I get Drag Racer, Drag Racing Action ,and Area Auto Racing News by subscription. The rest,including National Dragster, I dropped. They only end up in the recycling can anyway. Christ, if I saved every issue of every car rag that came out, my house would look like one of those places on that “Hoarders” show. Grin
If I see an issue with alot of cool stuff on the stands I’ll buy it. I just am not into all the stuff they do.
I will definitely check out this new magazine and if it is good I will buy it. I miss SS&DI.
