Wiki.
Drag Racer is a 1972 American film starring Deborah Walley.
Producer Bob Glenn was inspired to write the script by his brother Glenn, who was a drag racer.
The movie was shot on location at various racetracks including Irwindale Raceway, Lions Drag Strip, and Orange County International Raceway. A number of real life drag racers appeared.
Director John Cardos said "I don't know what happened to it. It had a pretty good cast and it was a story about drag racing. It went out and made a few bucks here and there."
