Dragstrip Girl is a 1994 American drama film directed by Mary Lambert.
Dragstrip Girl originally aired on the cable television network Showtime on September 2, 1994 as part of the anthology series, Rebel Highway. As with other films in the series its name is taken from a 1950s B-movie (Dragstrip Girl) but its plot bears no resemblance to that film.
Plot
Johnny is a bad guy trying to go straight. He becomes smitten with Laura, a wealthy good girl rebelling against her parents by pretending to go steady with him. This film is set against the backdrop of 1950s Los Angeles.

Reception
