    Most of these movies are still available on DVD and you can get rent them from Net Flix.

    The best deal is to buy the 4 disc set "Burnt Rubber". I'm sure you can still find it. It has 20 movies on it including Hot Rod Girl and one of my favorites "The Choppers".

    Another good one is "Dragstrip Girl" with Frank Gorshin, Tommy Ivo, Grabowski, and others. Terrible acting but some great cars. I get all my vintage CD's from John at Vintage Torque. He has just about everything worth watching.

    Didn't all those old B hot rod movies suck? I only have one, The Wild Ride, with Jack Nicholson. He's the only reason I got it. It blows. Tarantino's latest two are even worse, if that's possible. Gary

    I got that movie for my 70 year old dad as a goof about 10 years ago. I can't stop watching it. Bronc Talbot is one of my favorite villans of all time. I also love watching the kids try to snap to the beat whilst the jukebox is playing.


    1. Possibly the worst fight scene ever.

    2. Worst teen dancing ever.

    3. Cool cars.

    4. A very square Chuck Connors.

    5. The scene where the main character's estranged girlfriend "comes in for coffe and he makes her leave before it gets to hot.

    5. Lamest chase ending in death ever filmed X2.

    It's got it ALL!

    Like wvenfield said, Burnt Rubber is a great way to build an instant collection of these movies. I really like watching them, but I gotta do it alone, most people can't make it past the first 5 minutes, but like I said, I love 'em.

    here's a list-

    Bail Out ("W.B., Blue And The Bean") (1989) - David Hasselhoff/Linda Blair

    Blonde Comet (1941) - Virginia Vale/Barney Oldfield
    Born To Be Wild (1938) - Ralph Byrd/Ward Bond
    Burn 'Em Up Barnes (Pts. 1 & 2) (1934) - Jack Mulhall/Lola Lane
    The Choppers (1961) - Arch Hall Jr./Marianne Gaba
    Danger On Wheels (1940) - Richard Arlen/Andy Devine
    The Devil On Wheels (1947) - Noreen Nash/Darryl Hickman
    Double Nickels (1977) - Ed Abrams/Mick Brennan
    The Fast And The Furious (1955) - John Ireland/Dorothy Malone
    High Gear (1933) - James Murray/Joan Marsh
    Hot Rod Girl (1956) - Lori Nelson/Chuck Connors/Frank Gorshin (in support)

    Speed To Spare (1948) - Richard Arlen/Jean Rogers
    T-Bird Gang (1959) - John Brinkley/Ed Nelson/ Vic Tayback (minor role)

    You've got that right! That is as bad as any movie ever made, regardless of genre.

    I wouldn't suggest you watch more TV, but this is probably better than most of the shit that comes through your cable or satellite! Even though, for the most part, they're not really very good movies.

    These flicks are pretty stupid but still fun. Best viewed with "tongue in cheek," as they say.

    My personal favorite is the truly bizarre "T-bird Gang" which features Junior Conway's mild custom shoebox Ford club coupe.

    A friend of mine (he's on the HAMB) owned that car for a while here in Pa. It ended life sunk in the mud at local junkyard then later crushed.:(

    Funny story about this; I bought this on DVD for $5 at a car show to check out the old cars. I was watching it one saturday when my buddy Steve came over. Steve is a pretty fine trumpet player and an orchestra director; the band my wife and I play in will sometimes call Steve when we need a horn section for a gig. He's not a car guy but as soon as he heard the background music he knew exactly who the orchestra was for the movie and borrowed the movie for his horn buddies to watch (listen).

    I just got Hot Rods To Hell DVD off of Ebay the other day, I think this movie has the worst acting I have ever seen. Fun to watch though. I would like to know, why the corvette smokes so bad?

    There was also the 1969 movie "Pit Stop". It's ultra low budjet black & white. A lot of over-the-top bar exploits with drunk racers but by far has the most and best Ascot Park Gardena filmed 1960s races of any film. It's all about figure-8 racing.

    Damn, that's sad news! Wonder if it was one of the yards I used to visit in Upper Black Eddy?
