Ghost of a drag racer?

[Kooshmeister]

Anyone know the title of this one movie about the ghost of a guy involved in a fatal drag race? He and a friend are drag racing, well, it's more like a kind of chicken really, and they're supposed to see who can drive towards a cliff and not jump out of their car the longest. The character in question gets caught in his seat belt and thus winds up going over the cliff and dying. His ghost then winds up hanging around this other character (although not the guy he was racing against, if I remember correctly).

 Was it an older film? As in black or white?  !950's or so?

Sounds like The Heavenly Kid to me. Thank my dad for making me watch it.

Awesome, thanks you guys. It was definitely an 80's movie so this must be it. :)
