Dragstrip Riot is an album by the American band the Flesh Eaters, released in 1991.[2][3] It was their first studio album since 1983's A Hard Road to Follow. They supported the album with a North American tour.[4]
Lyrics to "Dragstrip Riot" appear in Bruce Harris Craven's novel Fast Sofa, published in 1993. The Flesh Eaters recorded a new song to promote the book, which was included with Fast Sofa as a flexi-disc.[5] "The Youngest Profession" was rerecorded for 2018's I Used to Be Pretty.[6]
The album was made with a new lineup of the band, with Chris D. the only longtime member.[7] It contains covers of the Flamin' Groovies' "Slow Death" and Mott the Hoople's "Moon Upstairs".[8] The title track stretches to almost 10 minutes.[9]
