T C CHRISTENSON - THE HOGSLAYER

Tom C. Christenson - the little guy with the big reputation, who blew away the Harley-Davidsons, and took no prisoners on his Norton powered 'Hogslayer' when it dominated the American drag strips in the Seventies.

HOGSLAYER - The Documentary
This is a formal announcement that the documentary "Hogslayer" is currently in production. This presentation will document the success of the legendary world champion motorcycle dragster - the Hogslayer. The dual-engined Norton Hogslayer was engineered by John Gregory and ridden to multiple world records by TC Christenson in the 1970s. This documentary will explore the men behind the machine, the evolutionary development of the Hogslayer dragster, and the overall successful racing career of one of the most impressive racing teams in motorcycle history. The success of "Hogslayer" depends on the comprehensive collection of documentary materials that accurately tell this story. Hours of interviews and hundreds of photos, publications, and promotional materials have been recorded so far for this endeavor. However, we believe much more material exists and is available from fans and race enthusiasts.
CALL FOR HOGSLAYER DOCUMENTARY MATERIALS
The producers of "Hogslayer" are currently requesting the use of any documentary materials from Hogslayer fans and racing enthusiasts. We are particularly interested in motion picture elements (film and/or video), but would appreciate access to any related materials (audio recordings, photography, publications, promotional materials, etc.). Please contact us (info below) with any materials you would like to provide for this documentary. Full credit will be granted to any contributors. Thank you for your interest and cooperation.
