Wheels
On Fire
Gary Young's "Wheels On
Fire" is one of the classic motor sports documentaries
of all time.
Mostly
filmed in Liverpool, Sydney, in 1973, the documentary
appeals to both "rev heads" and the wider
audience, who want to re live the Australian history
of the drag strip.
As
Young demonstrates, its more than just cars, tits
and ass.
See
Australia's first ever "race cam", strapped
onto the drag car, which takes you behind the wheel
at speeds above 300 kilometers per hour.
Get
a close up of the characters as they walk the walk,
and tirelessly maintain and dress up their hot rods
- elaborate paint work, which is street art at its
finest.
Young,
John Torv, Holger Brockman and Jim Read give you the
best real look at the sport of drag racing.
This
documentary by The Film Factory, may be just the thing
to bring the fans back to the strip to the levels
of popularity it once enjoyed.
