Dragstrip Riot is a 1958 film[1] starring Yvonne Lime, Fay Wray and Gary Clarke, 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, teenager Rick Martin promises his mother 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 begins harassing his drag-racing pals, all hell breaks loose. One of the cyclists is sent hurtling over a cliff, after which Rick gets the blame.

Rick gets into a fight, defending a girl, Janet Pearson, and later explains to her how his previous arrest for assault also occurred after coming to the aid of someone else. When gang leader Silva attempts to harm both Rick and Janet, new friends intervene and Mrs. Martin has a new appreciation for her son.
