Brian Darby, then aged 57 in 2000, mentioned to his son Peter that he would like to create a website for his vintage speedway interests and memorabilia.
Peter showed his Dad how to create the first page of the www.vintagespeedway.com website.
Little did Brian know that in the next 8 years he would go on to create ten different websites, 9 on vintage Speedway and one on vintage Aussie Road racing.  
Brian started watching Speedway at the age of 11 at the Sydney Sports Ground Speedway in 1953 and was hooked for life, he went on to enjoy many, many years of Speedway and motor racing, as a spectator, working on racing cars from 1958 to 1963, being an Experimental Technician and test driver for a major car manufacturer, a Speedway photographer for 7 years and eventually in 1995 buying a wreck of a vintage Speedway midget, restoring it and running it in vintage speedway demonstrations up until 2006. The full restoration of the midget can be seen on the ‘ vintagespeedway’ site. Brian was also the Secretary of The Veteran Speedway Riders Association of Australia for two years.
Brian’s retirement days are now spent on maintaining and improving the websites with new material and still enjoying his midget via static displays at Car Shows and his involvement with the Vintage Speedcar Association(NSW) Inc.

Motion Media is a video production company located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.  We organized in 2001, with emphasis on Video Production of Weddings and Special Events.   The events of September 11th of that year caused us to put the business on hold until we completed a tour of active duty in the US Air Force.

During the 2008 Racing Season, we  are professionally producing  DVD presentations of the weekly racing programs at South Mississippi Speedway in Gulfport, MS.    Check back often as we update the website from week to week throughout the year.   The finished productions are made available at the racetrack on the Saturday FOLLOWING the races at the racing collectibles trailer near the speedway grandstands.  DVDs may also be ordered here, either online or by downloading and mailing the order form.

 

    Mike Golden, the owner of Motion Media, brings to the exciting sport of dirt track racing a lifetime of experience in broadcast television.  He has photographed for television news everything from local high school football games to visits by presidents of the United States.  During the late 1990’s, he produced a series of religious documentaries in Israel.  He has traveled the world as a video production specialist in the Air National Guard.  Now, Mike brings his skills to the racetrack.  The weekly race programs include ALL THE ACTION from the playing of the national anthem through the last feature race of the evening.  Drivers have said that they learn from their mistakes watching the video.  Fans collect all their favorite races and spend the off-season reliving the excitement with their friends and family.
