Step back into the wild world of 1973 drag racing with Burn On, a rare documentary capturing nitro-charged action at the AHRA Grand-American event at New England Dragway. This vintage short film is a time capsule from one of the most blacked-out seasons in drag racing history, featuring smoky burnout runs, the roar of funny cars, and the colorful personalities that defined the era.

Watch as “Jungle Jim” Liberman — one of drag racing’s most charismatic showmen — lights up the strip, backed by his infamous Vega funny car and partner Jungle Pam, pouring bleach and prepping the car for another blistering run.

Though short in length, Burn On delivers a visceral glimpse of 1970s nitro racing — from tire smoke and burnout rituals to candid shots and raw atmosphere with stars like Shirley Muldowney also making an appearance.

Whether you lived it or are just discovering this golden era of drag racing, this doc is a must-watch for fans of classic motorsports.
