I shot Sprint Car racing videos from 1986 through 1992 all over southern and central California and ended up with about 2 hours of crash footage. This is some clips from that footage.
Wish I had Bubby’s car from this clip! Love that style of Nance.
Sorry no I never went to Ventura for racing (been there many times to hang out though). I used to shoot vid for Eddie Wirth and Bobby Michnowicz for like, 6 years. I will post a lot more asw soon as I get time. I have all 2 hours digitized onto my computer, I just need to time organize it all.
This is great stuff!!!! Please post more. Be sure to check out my profile. I make the Sprint Car & Midget Crash Compilations. Did you do any shooting at Ventura Raceway? Im there every week crewing for VRA sprint car driver Steve Conrad.
lol… I used to do the same thing and had quite a collection of the tear offs in my room. I have 2 hours of footage like this, I’ll be posting more as I get time to work on it.
I remember alot of these guys names. I used to go to Ascot park in Gardena in the late 70’s as a kid. We used to run around and collect the plastic visor tear offs that the drivers would tear off from their helmets! The dirtier they were, the cooler! I remember playing under the stands too! Good times! Thanks for the memories!
