Info

Straightaway is a 26-week half-hour adventure/drama television series which aired on ABC during the 1961–1962 season – the story of two young men who operate a garage and engage in auto racing. John Ashley and Brian Kelly played race car designers Clipper Hamilton and Scott Ross, respectively. Scott designs the vehicles, and Clipper is the mechanic. Asa Maynor was cast in four episodes as Dixie. Most episodes center on the clients who bring a race car to the Straightaway Garage. The series was originally planned to be named “The Racers”, but the title had to be altered because of sponsor problems. Straightaway ran at 7:30 Eastern on Fridays opposite CBS’s Rawhide with Clint Eastwood and Eric Fleming. Straightaway was moved to Wednesdays effective January 10, 1962, for the remainder of its brief run.

Straightaway Audience Reviews

RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
stargzr454 I'm sure very few people remember this show, but I do. I was six years old, and my brother was eleven and the 60's was when teenagers and cars ruled. We would hurry and scarf down our dinner so that we could watch every minute. One of my fondest memories, and Brian Kelly helped my transition into Flipper when it aired. I don't know if I can fill ten lines of text because it was so long ago, and only aired for one season. The plot lines were probably over the head of a 6 year old, I just remember the cars, and the racing, it was so cool. The actors seemed to be teens too, probably in their twenties, but they were current. That's probably why we were attracted to it, it was like watching kids from the neighborhood
