Death Race 2000
Death Race 2000
In a boorish future, the government sponsors a popular, but bloody, cross-country race in which points are scored by mowing down pedestrians. Five teams, each comprised of a male and female, compete using cars equipped with deadly weapons. Frankenstein, the mysterious returning champion, has become America's hero, but this time he has a passenger from the underground resistance.

I saw this for the first time when cable TV was just one out of town channel and HBO. It and Rollerball (being a higher end project) were both about the same level being comically fake sci fi but as a little kid I ate it up. Both were huge money makers at the time because they were so cheap to make. Very interesting what you could get away with in the 70's.
