WHERE THEY RACED: Speed Demons in the City of Angels tells the story of a pre-gridlocked Los Angeles. A time when it was ripe with orange groves, movie stars and more auto racing and innovation than anywhere else in America. This documentary film uncovers the forgotten history with lost archival films, hundreds of vintage photos, and revealing interviews.
























The film includes:

All 3 boardtracks, Los Angeles had the first, the best and the fastest

Lakes, Parks & Rods with Wally’s son on the Pomona Drag

Vic Edelbrock Jr. brings Roger Ward’s V8-60 back to Gilmore

Ultimate barn find: a Peugeot that influenced Miller, Offy and decades of racing

Ed Winfield’s #1 Ford is reunited with the remains of Legion Ascot to take a lap

Join Mickey Thompson’s son & first wife for a 1/4 mile walk down memory lane

Eddie Pullen’s son, a ‘13 Fiat & a ‘11 National relive the Santa Monica Road Races

Greg Sharp at NHRA & Leslie Kendall at the Petersen

414 mph Land Speed Record holder Charles Nearburg shows off his 1926 Miller

JC Agajanian Jr. talks Turkey Night

Huell Howser sees something “Amazing” at the Corona Circle

And much more in almost 2 hours of racing history
