(DVD, Anchor Bay)
Biopic of the first female professional drag racing driver Shirley Muldowney. She overcomes the sexist attitudes of both the 1950s and especially the male dominated racing culture to become a respected champion. The drag racing scenes are good, but tends to get bogged down in her romantic relationships with her husband and fellow driver Beau Bridges.
