AVSS 410 Sprints - Crystal Motor Speedway April 24, 1999
25 years ago: This is where it began.
I bought a decent camera and shot my first ever race as a 'pro' - the Auto Value Super Sprints season opener at Crystal Motor Speedway - Crystal, MI April 24, 1999.
I knew racing, but I didn't know much about camera gear and it shows in these early videos. I used a wide-angle lens for some reason, auto-focus, and an aftermarket Radio Shack mixer to mix the sound. Things would improve.
This event is also notorious as first ever Sprint Car race for a couple of future Michigan stars: All time SOD feature winner Dustin Daggett Racing and All Star racer Chad Blonde. Also one of the rare races that 3 generations of Daggetts raced (Dustin, Mike, Don).
The race was won by Michigan Hall of Famer Jason Blonde over Doug Zimmerman, and another HoF inductee Ken Mackey.
