Dragstrip Riot is a 1958 film[1] released by American International Pictures as a double feature with The Cool and the Crazy. The film was known in the UK by the more sober title, The Reckless Age.

Plot

In a beach community near Malibu, California, a teenager promises his mom he won't get into any more fights — especially like the one that put him in jail a few months back. But when a motorcycle gang begin harassing his drag-racing pals, all hell breaks loose. During the fight one of the cyclists is sent hurtling over a cliff, the teen gets the blame and then attempts to prove his innocence.
