Home of the Velasquez Family Racers
Since 1999, spending our Saturday nights at Ventura Raceway has become a tradition. Thomas, racing since 1999 in the Dwarf Car division, has passed on his love of dirt track racing to his boys, Tommy and Nick. Tommy and Nick both started in the kids' division in 2006, racing the Mini Dwarfs, then Jr. Midgets and, when they both turned 14, jumped into the Dwarf Car division with their dad. It's been non-stop fun since then watching them compete every night!
Our other boys have taken more of a backseat approach to this sport. Ian decided that being at the race track is better than being behind the wheel. He helps people find their seats, sells things at the food and merchandise booths and is a friendly face to all the drivers. Brandon, who was also racing in the Mini Dwarf division for about two years, but now that the kids' division is on hiatus, has more fun being the social coordinator in the grandstands! They are definitely our biggest fans and pit crew!
