- Sandia Speedway-Saturday nights at the high banks of the dirt oval track at Sandia Speedway is where you will find speed, excitement and the Sprint 24 race team. In the film you are about to see you will learn a little about what is like to be a part of people who have come together over a love of racing, their spirit of competition and friendship. You will see a glimpse into New Mexico’s long history of sprint car racing. The New Mexico MotorRacing Association was formed in 1949 and produced great race car drivers whosenames you may recognize like Unser, Taylor and Herrera just to name a few. Come out to the Speedway and visit with drivers, crews and race fans. Bring your children to the pits after the race and have them meet drivers, sit in the cars and take pictures. This is the “adventure that feeds the soul” of the New Mexico Racers!
These guys are a dyeing breed.....these guys are the backbone of this sport and the real teachers of the sport
Thanks for viewing. We love what we do.
Jason Jackson +1
Agreed
Looks like a great time with friends.
I think a feature length film is needed. Follow a team from build up all the way through a season.
The ups are just as good as the downs on a dirt track. He summed it up nicely, love each other, hate each other. You can come to blows one week, and help the guy between heats the next.
Dylan Peterson I was thinking about it the whole time I was working on Gossett Brothers.
However, without generating some sponsorship the feature would be impossible to complete. Besides that it would be a thrill to work on a film like that.
I understand. This one was solely your doing? video, sound, editing and all?
Yep, it was one man band experience when it comes to filming, directing, sounds recording, color grading and editing:) But I had a very good help from the people I was working with.
Great video, need to bump up the views. The guys are spot on about everything especially helping others. I have seen things over the years that makes you wonder what someone was thinking, especially when comes to safety.
I witnessed a new driver one night and thought no he didn't do that! Gave him the benefit of the doubt but I saw it again and contacted the track owner. Hopefully I saved his life and he learned from the experience.
I lost my best friend and driver to cancer this month, brings back a rush of memories.
Талантище!
rare you see guys doing a rear end chassis cut and repair these days. Old school cool. #respect.
Just a great VIDEO 👌👍👍
Everything about it reminds me of our home track way over here in the Mid-Atlantic area.
THANKS for your time and effort. 👍🏁
Thanks for watching!
This was so enjoyable. Thank you for the work you put in on this
That was my pleasure!
The funny thing is I know the everyone at this track. I actually race here and I’m just now seeing these for the first time! I can’t believe I haven’t seen this before!
Jim lastname it’s in Albuquerque New Mexico. A track called Sandia Speedway. It’s not like the bigger name tracks. Out here it’s a bull pin. When you think of back woods dirt track racing it’s like this track. But It’s in the desert.
Jim lastname also there more local legends. The non winged sprints racing here race in what’s called the border tour. The go through New Mexico Texas and Arizona. The two Biggest names here are Charlie Fegan and Royale Johns. Charlie ran the drag boats and Royale owns a track down in los Crusas New Mexico. We do have some big names I guess you could call it from here. If want to talk let me know!
Jim lastname sorry about the desert part! I travel a lot and you would be surprised on how many states don’t know about New Mexico. People dont even know it’s a state in place like the east coast! Where dirt track racing thrives is more on the south east part of the United States. But the difference between a Sprint car and a champ is champ cars are more of the older style of sprint cars. There bigger and a few other things are different. They where actually the cars Indy car drivers raced when they didn’t have a Indy race. But my preference on winged and non winged cars is I prefer non wing. People all over the U.S. Fight over winged and non winged. Some say winged are safer, some say non winged are safer. And same goes with handling and stuff. But there pretty much the same beside the wings. They do make a different chassis for the non winged which is really the same chassis with out the wing mounts but you will actually see some winged car drivers run there cars non winged here. The reason I choose non winged is that there somewhat uncommon here. They only race on my track about 2 or 3 times a season. Plus I have a lot of good buddies racing non winged that I help. I also have to admit I do like sprint cars but my favorite dirt track cars are late models. It’s my dream to race them some day.
Great short film. I really enjoyed it
Thanks for watching!
Loved this video. Thanks .Wish you would do more on this team and others .
Thanks Mike. Would be happy to be hired for such production any minute)

Really well done bro I like it a lot!
Thank you sir! Appreciate it.
Buzz Caulkins called......he wants his race suit back :)
Great vid!!
Very lucky gentlemen, most of us will never get to do that stuff. 👍🏻
Not lucky. Racers bust their ass off to race. Can’t just sit back in life saying people are lucky. Get your ass off the couch and work hard
Awesome!
Thank you! Please keep sharing)
Makes me want to start up a team
Jamessr23 better have at least 100k to go out and win
Jamessr23 I’m your huckleberry
Wil Hicks , starting from scratch $100,000.00 wont even get you out of your garage bud. Much less competitive. If you start a new competitive team with a hauler and spares you will need a MINIMUM of $900,000.00. We started out and spent well over a million and only had one back up car. And spend another million to run 1 full season. That’s including travel and all costs.
I see homeboys got a MS State hat on. Just wonder'n is he from here or went to State...I live in Vicksburg,MS & was at MSU for a while. Just curious...
steven newman hey just saw your comment. my wife's family is in Starkville. Had to be a Bulldog fan. Hail State!
Try again = Life
What camera and editing sofeware did you use to make this great video?!
I used Panasonic GH4 for majority of the shots, Polaroid cube camera for actions shots. Edited in Premiere and color graded partially in Colorista and DaVinci Resolve.
Thanks
how much for roller >?
A new roller with good parts will run you $38,000.00 With no spares Then you’ll be spending another $45,000.00 for an engine that will need a $15,000.00 rebuild after 8 races or so if it lasts that long. We run an 80+ race schedule and spend shy of a million per season.
How to make this happen.....don't get married and put your money towards racing. That's what I'll half to do unless I get a really fuckin nice job

The boys came home from the war chock full of PTSD and an addiction to adrenaline Surely by now we could provide them with a cockpit that won't kill them. An inch or two of foam might have saved so many from spinal injury. It's time for a ground up re-imagining of what motor sport should be. The piece meal reaction approach has wasted so much time. The cages should be capsules. Life ensuring capsules...

troy stevens . I agree. it isn't any more
