Havana Motor Club fights for right to drag race

A film crew headed down to Cuba to shoot a documentary about the Havana Motor Club, a group of gearheads who have the desire for speed and the need to race.

According to the film’s Facebook page, “Havana Motor Club” follows several of Cuba’s top drag racers as they struggle to prepare their classic American cars for the first official race since the (Cuban) Revolution. It tells a personal, character-driven story that tackles how Cuba’s recent reforms — the owning of property, allowance of small businesses, and greater exchange between Cubans, Cuban Americans, tourists, and other foreigners — have affected the lives of these Cuban drag racers.

Imagine what your life would be like if you were told that you weren’t allowed to drag race. How would it be different? Leave a comment below, or send us a tweet to @PowerNationTV.
