PROJECT 1320 produced by Quarter
Mile Entertainment Foundation is an episodic documentary which
will capture the history of drag racing – from the post
World War II period to the end of the 1980s.
PROJECT 1320 will feature interviews of the
surviving pioneers as they tell the story from their unique,
personal point of view. Some of today’s heroes will be
featured, but it will focus on yesterday’s legends as
they tell of their experiences and explain the Who, What, Why,
When, Where and How of the sport’s early days and how
it grew. You will also see how a multi-billion dollar industry
– the performance automotive aftermarket – grew
with the sport as ingenious racers built new parts to make their
race cars go faster, and then sold them to their fellow competitors.
PROJECT 1320 will feature the important developments
of each decade, how the pro classes came to be, the innovations
in performance parts, the changes in safety and how drag races
were conducted. You’ll learn about how the automakers
and Fortune 500 companies used the sport to market their products.
