A new "teaser" has surfaced for Project 1320's upcoming documentary "Legends of the Quarter Mile". The documentary will feature 265 legends interviewed with over 300 hours of footage for a historic story of drag racing and the aftermarket.
The Quarter Mile Foundation has set up a GoFundMe page titled "How long will the memories last?" The campaign hopes to preserve history by capturing on film the industry's pioneers and legends and their histories.
"To honor the past, we owe it to ourselves and to those who will come after us to preserve it," reads the GoFundMe page. "It is also within our means to do so. The Quarter Mile Foundation is a not-for-profit funded project with a mission of capturing on film the first person histories of our industry's pioneers and legends. But it is a race against time, as these legendary men and women are leaving us at a sad and increasing rate. Once they are gone, they are gone and their stories, their triumphs, their struggles, their laughter will be gone with them."
The campaign has a goal of $5,000 and hopes to preserve the memories of the sport of drag racing as we failed to do with places like Lions DragStrip, Goleta, Colton, and Green Valley.
"We must not allow our history to disappear, to become nothing more than faded pictures and faulty memories," the page reads. "Donating to the Quarter Mile Foundation will ensure that history will be preserved, that the tale of how we became who we are today as an industry will not be lost to time and that, in a way, those who blazed the trail will always be with us."
