who the hell would drag race in a caddilac?

Acually its not about drag racing, more a one on one road race, with the prize for cathching up with the woman is that she'll go out with him again. If he hadn't caught her, the relationship was toast. Note the begining: "motivating over the hill," drag racing isn't done on hills. For a very different theme, but the same time of race, see "Hot Rod Lincoln," or for humor "The Little Nash Rambler"
