Quarter Mile Foundation

Quarter Mile Foundation In honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice so others can reach for the stars! The documentary crew has access to the big names in drag racing.

The Quarter Mile Foundation is working to create a episodic documentary about the birth, growth, and supporting industry built up around drag racing. It will cover the people, the vehicles, the races, the technology, and the entrepreneurs that made up drag racing from the 1940s through the dawn of computerization in the late 1980s. Episodes will cover each decade of drag race history from the 1940

s to the end of the 1980s, the key figures in drag racing history, aftermarket innovations that made their way into mainstream automotive technology, the influence of corporate sponsorship, major racetracks and their owners, and the birth and growth of the sanctioning bodies that govern drag racing. More than just a historical archive, the documentary will bring the daring, genius, and excitement of drag racing to a new audience, and a new generation of racing fans. It will be composed of both first-person interviews with drag race and performance aftermarket greats and archival footage that brings the sport to life. Because the Quarter Mile Foundation members are intimately acquainted with drag racing, they are uniquely positioned to portray an insider’s view of the sport.

Quarter Mile Foundation Ignites SEMA 2025!

The Quarter Mile Foundation (QMF) is thrilled to share that “Big Daddy” Don Garlits is to receive the Robert E. Petersen Lifetime Achievement Award at the SEMA Show Industry Awards Gala on Thursday night, Nov. 6. Come and congratulate Don at the QMF booth, #23025 in the Central Hall.

Our friends at Painless Performance Products have graciously sponsored this years’ QMF tee shirts. These limited-edition shirts reflect the essence of power that is drag racing and the era of days gone by. Get yours at the booth.

"I grew up in the 60’s and was an avid drag racer as well as a fan of the legends of those times, that being said, I think Quarter Mile Foundation is an important part of keeping those days and people from not being forgotten,” Dennis Overholser, Founder and President, Painless Wiring.

Here's a little sneak peek of the back of this limited edition tee!

We also have the ever-so talented Kenny “Blood Did It” Youngblood, the 1955 Chevy Nomad "Chevado" rear engine wheelstander, and local Autosports artist, Larisa Roshina.

There’s always a buzz going on in the QMF booth, and you never know who will stop by.

Don’t miss out, add us to your calendar.
