This films promotes Formula Super Vee racing. This was the younger brother of the successful Formula Vee. FSV began in the 70’s and ran until 1990. It was considered to fall between Sprint Cars and Indy Racing in the USA. The Super Vee vehicle was a smaller race car with a Volkswagen engine used in these competitions. It was a developmental circuit, where winners would often graduate to larger and more well known racing divisions.
The film opens with shots of the fast little cars running around the track (:11). A montage of young drivers follow, some of whom were paid enough to live off the funds as a race car driver (:15). The roadway is viewed from the driver’s perspective (:49). This film was produced in cooperation with USAC and the Sports Car Club of America (1:28). Money for this film came from funding by a grant of the Montgomery Ward Automobile Club (1:33). Pedestrians are seen crammed in the stands as automobile racing is considered to be one of the largest non-betting spectator sports (1:51).
