    POV Community Engagement & Education Discussion GuiDe Racing Dreams A Film by Marshall Curry www.pbs.org/pov PoV LetteR fRom the fiLmmakeR Brooklyn , n ew york , 2011 Before i started making this film, i didn’t really know anything about car racing, and i’m sorry to say, ignorance about racing is pretty typical in new york, where i live. But i knew it wasn‘t typical for the country as a whole. nAscAr is reportedly the second biggest spectator sport in America after football - bigger than baseball or basketball. And i have a lot of family in north carolina, so i knew how much passion for the sport there is down there. i began to wonder how it was possible that in a city like new york, where we’re exposed to such an amazing variety of cul - tures, so many people could know so little about America’s second-favorite pastime. it seemed like something i should learn about if i wanted to understand the red-state/blue-state divide (or, more accurately, the new york/rest-of-the-country di - vide) and so i wrote down “nAscAr” and dropped it into the file i keep of documentary ideas. soon afterward, i read an article about extreme go-kart racing—a nationally competitive sport in which 11 and 12 year olds drive karts that go 70 mph(!). it’s widely considered the little league for nAscAr, and a lot of the top professional drivers started out that way in doing it. i thought that sounded pretty amazing, and one of the things i love about making docu - mentaries is it lets me spend a year or two learning about things i don’t know about.

  • The Formula Kart Racing Florida Winter Tour Presented by Tony Kart
    The Formula Kart Racing Florida Winter Tour presented by Tony Kart Florida rolled on this weekend as two days of Formula Kart racing put the first events of the 2009 FWT Formula Kart Championship into the history books. One hundred twenty-one drivers covered eight classes at Homestead Karting, and the facility was blessed with another fabulous weekend of weather. Ten different drivers from four different countries climbed to the top of the podium, and with four races down, Bill Wright is pleased with the start and looking forward to the next round in February. “Given the concerns about the economy I’m pleasantly surprised at the numbers, and absolutely thrilled with the depth of talent” said Wright, exclusive owner and promoter of the Florida Winter Tour. “ We exceeded our expectations in every component. Based on the number of inquiries and requests I’ve received it looks like February will have bigger numbers and more big names. The Euro’s are coming!” Also pleasing Wright was the continuing emergence of KF classes. Introduced in 2008, both KF2 and KF3 have experienced respectable growth and accounted for 25 entries per day this weekend. “Last year I worked very hard and spent a good deal of money to introduce the classes. This year I told the importers/manufacturers it was up to them, and so far they’ve done an excellent job. Andre Martins brought over the top people from Vortex to make sure the customer support was there. Peter De Bruin from PDB was here again supporting his people on the Parilla.
