One of the rarest windows into early 1970s drag racing comes through this 1973 documentary presentation, produced with sponsorship from Wonder Bread — a brand that briefly crossed into drag racing history with its memorable Wonder Bread–sponsored Vegas panel wagon.
Created during a period when drag racing footage was rarely preserved with long-term intent, this film captures the raw spirit, color, and character of the sport as it existed away from the glare of modern television production. The clips reflect a time when drag racing was loud, mechanical, experimental, and deeply rooted in personality.
From pit-area moments to on-track action, the documentary embodies the grassroots energy of the early 1970s, when corporate sponsorships were still novel, technology was evolving rapidly, and racers relied as much on ingenuity as funding.
This presentation isn’t polished — and that’s exactly the point. It stands as a surviving artifact from a largely undocumented era, offering a genuine look at drag racing’s culture, style, and atmosphere during one of its most formative decades.
📺 Preserved and presented by CompetitionPlusTV
🏁 A must-watch for fans of classic drag racing, rare sponsor tie-ins, and motorsports history
