I have a few hot rod DVD's but what are some other ones for people to check out not just movies (american graffiti) but just ones with music and cars. Hot Rod Havoc 1 and 2 Back from the Dead what else. i thought i saw one called hot rod ruckas but im not sure. anyone know of it?
I just ordered "High School Caesar" from Amazon. John Ashley as a high school "rackets" kingpin--car scenes and lots of '50s teen angst. Also ordered "Bikini Beach" to see the Ivo "Showboat" and "Barnstormer" footage at Pomona. Want: "Drag Strip Riot" and other mid-late '50s "noir" car flicks on DVD!
Forgot to add the Lions Drag Strip documentary DVD set. Every car guy should have it and you'll watch it more than once. Hot Rod Nostalgia has it, as does Amazon.

Ow ya they just released "7 Second Love Affair" one of the best Drag Racing movies ever.. And there is also "Dreams of Legends" DVD's RULE too..
I don't know if I'd classify Back From the Dead as a hot rod DVD...more a lesson in the futility of attempting time-travel to regain an hour of one's life! A truly horrible DVD. My list: All the MFS DVDs....including The Car That Ate My Brain. Road To Bonneville. Both Lions Drag Strip DVDs....and, for sure, the Part 3 when it's done.
"Tales of the Rat Fink" (Roth Bio) "Heart Like a Wheel" (dramatized Shirley Muldowny bio) "Two Lane Blacktop" (American Graffiti '55 Chev in its tunnel ram 454 glory. Look for my favorite car movie line, "...Points...")
Check out the Giant Gila Monster. Misc rods and they keep trying to buy a 1932 Ford 5window from an old man.
Hot Rod Girl Hot Rod Rumble Dragstrip Riot (though it's really tough to find; mostly bootlegs) The Choppers (featuring the Ivo T) The California Kid The Wild Ride Thunder Road T-Bird Gang Pit Stop The Violent Years The Big Wheel -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
You gotta check out the DREAMS OF LEGENDS DVD'S...lots of cool footage and it's a four disc set broken into the following parts: California Hot Rodding...the way it really was, Muroc and El Mirage...the beginnings, The Los Angeles Drag Racing Scene, Bonneville and the Pursuit of Speed...check them out at dreamsoflegends.com...of course any MAD FABRICATORS...AMERICAN GRAFITTI...TWO LANE BLACKTOP
