Since I posted in the wrong place before, let me correct that.I am one of the original producers of the motion picture "American Nitro", which was originally released in 1979. Since we reacquired the rights to this movie we have decided to do a 30th Anniversary digitally re-mastered DVD which is available on our website AmericanNitro.comHere is some of the feedback we are getting from other websites, like this one. I have not edited these comments, you can find them for yourself. As of now, we do not have any negative feedback. Here goes...Chuckstenberg wrote...You guys should check out the new digitally remastered re-release of the classic 1979 movie titled "American Nitro". It's packed with a lot of action and interview with top name drivers like Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen Twig Zeigler, Bob Correll, "Jungle Jim" Liberman, "Tv Tommy" Ivo anda bunch more. It's never been seen before in this pristine of quality remastered from the original film negative. There web site is www.americannitro.com FC Fan 1 wrote...Just got mine.It IS Excellent. For the first time the picture is nice and clear.Before I had to watch an old rental copy, It also has a photo album,trailers and commentary ,if you want to listen to that. I have also noticed little bits that were not on the VHS copy. If you have seen it 200 times, like I have,you'll be able to spot them.XDragnewsphotog wrote...Ordered mine on Monday, came in the mail today!!!

I think the movie originally came out in 1975. I just got a copy and it's fantastic! It's digitally remastered from the original film negative with bonus features like the original trailer, original radio spots and a commentary version of the film with the producers. Until now, this movie has never been seen in this pristine of quality. No other film captured Funny Car racing like this. It features Don Prudhomme, Tom McEwen, "Jungle Jim" Liberman, Twig Zeigler, Bob Correll and a bunch of others not only in racing action but interviews as well. Lot's of racing action, fans and top name drivers. It's too bad more films like this werent made back in those days. Check it out at American NitroLarry wrote...I got my copy and watched it last night. IT'S AWESOME!!There's some interviews with those in the business at the time, that I found really interesting.Bill Carter (?) custom car / funny car painter of that era... to paraphrasewhat he says "A top notch Trick Paint job is going to set you back $700"wow! to paint a car in one color now days, you can't even buy the materialsfor $700...Ed Pink talking about his engines out the door complete @ $11,000.Jamie Sarte' car builder getting $3,500 for a rolling chassis.Very Cool Documentary. Buy IT!!LarryN2Nitro wrote...I ordered the DVD and it was in my mailbox in two days. If you was anywhere around Fremont raceway in the 70s, you need this DVD. I didnt know this was filmed at Fremont raceway and i just couldnt stop watching it. I tell guys I grew up at that track, when there was a race, my dad and I was there(spent most of the looking for myself in the movie). the great interviews and the way they caught racers after a run talking with their crew. just seeing one of the great tracks thats not here anymore made this a must get.
