Muscle Car," two distinctive cars come to mind, the Camaro and the Mustang. Throughout the era of the early 1950's and 1960's, there was a revolutionary movement that took place and paved the ground work for today's "Muscle Cars" known as the "Ponycar Era."

This documentary shows that how drag racing is evolved and how modifications are done in cars to make them better and better. Drag racing seems like it’s been with us forever.

Most of these cars need a lot of adjustments to they run perfectly without any problems.

The different types include flat racing, jump racing, harness racing and endurance racing.
