Lions The Greatest Drag Strip, Vol. 1 DVD

This is part one (of the 3 part) quintessential video documentary on the sport of drag racing's most historic quarter-mile facilities, Lions Drag Strip.  Veteran photojournalist Don Gillespie took six years to compile hundreds of photos, films, research, and interviews from more than 30 individuals.  Lions was the first to use electronic starting lights, was LA-based resulting in giant crowds, and played host to some of the largest meets in history.
