Pete Robinson was more than a drag-racing driver. Known as “Sneaky Pete,” he was an engineer, builder, innovator, and champion who constantly searched for ways to make his dragsters lighter, faster, and more efficient. From his breakthrough 1961 NHRA Nationals victory to his battles with the dominant Top Fuel teams, Robinson built a reputation for finding speed where other racers weren't looking.
This documentary explores the history of the Robinson dragster, his obsession with weight reduction, his Ford 427 SOHC Cammer, unconventional engineering experiments, and the remarkable final chapter of his racing career at the 1971 NHRA Winternationals. It is the story of one of drag racing's most inventive minds and the machines that carried his ideas onto the quarter-mile.
