COMPLETE AMERICAN DRAGSTER FIRST-SEASON DVD AVAILABLE NOW
New Rule Productions today announced the
availability of a DVD of the first season of the popular ESPN2 reality show,
American Dragster, featuring Ron Capps, driver of the Brut Revolution Dodge
Funny Car, and Top Fuel champion Tony Schumacher, in the U.S. Army Top Fuel
dragster.
This DVD features the complete 2005 season of these drivers
each fighting for a championship in their respective categories and includes all
the tense, exciting and dramatic moments and behind-the-scenes footage, both on
and off the track.
"The great thing about the DVD is that you can watch the shows back to back and really begin to see the overall storyline in a way that most fans didn't see when it was broadcast on ESPN2. It's a fast-moving series, and viewers will pick up details and comments that they missed the first time. There's really a lot of action and emotion packed in those half-hour shows!

"This DVD is the result of a lot of hard work and
dedication by the production crew and drag racing teams," says Ryan Johnson,
Director/Executive Producer. "It took an amazing effort to create an entirely
new TV show about NHRA POWERade drag racing. It's the first of its kind and
we're pleased how well it did.
"The great thing about the DVD is that
you can watch the shows back to back and really begin to see the overall

"There are still a few months until our second
season starts, and the DVD is a great way to satisfy one's nitromethane cravings
in the meantime.
"We've included a lot of extra features as well," adds
Johnson. "One of my favorites is the raw, uncut sequence from Las Vegas when
Schumacher clinches the 2005 Championship. At the bottom of the track, there's
no music, no sound effects, and it's a real eye-opener as to what it's really
like.
"When you watch it on the ESPN coverage there's all kinds of pomp
and circumstance, and it's always interesting to see how these things really
happen. On the DVD you just hear Tony talking, a few people clapping and the
crew guys in the background tearing the shrouds off the dragster. True
behind-the-scenes action.
"We also unloaded our digital still camera
that’s been with us on all of the shows and put together a behind-the-scenes
photo montage that has some great images of the teams as well as some of the
crew that make American Dragster happen."
American Dragster is a real
race show. There are no scripts, no second takes and no setups. The episodes
take the viewer into the pits and lives of these participants and the drivers,
crew chiefs and crew members tell their own stories, through their eyes, not
someone else's. American Dragster strives to show what it is really like to
compete at the top levels of the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.
"We
worked hard to get this DVD completed before the holidays. It will make a great
gift!" Johnson says.
Watch for Season 2 of American Dragster coming soon,
exclusively on ESPN2.
