sertomaspeedway.org is our local dirt track and only about 15 minutes away with two more within two hours. There's an asphalt track in Albuequerque and a drag strip over in Roswell. I got hooked baaaaad two seasons back. A buddy and his two boys and his two grandsons all race and another friend is fixin to start up. I help him ever once in a while in the pits when he is desperate for help. My son and I hope to start racing soon too.
If you go to the website, there's a picture of an orange bomber car. The driver was an German Air Force member who was stationed here. He went back to Germany the day after the last race last season but was a phenominal racer. It was comical to see that little car hauling apples around the track and winning race after race.
A lot of us have to wear safety glasses at work. There's something to be said about having to wear safety glasses as a fan at a race track. Mostly it's to keep the mud, dirt and debris out of our eyes, but man, ain't it fun?

Well I hope it does. I love local, small track racing. The high dollar professional racing is great, but it's not really better than the local tracks and 'down-home' racing.

Theres Rockfalls drag strip in Rockfalls wisconsin too but never been there yet.
