Tonight's event; The John Ladouceor Championship is named for the man that started the original IMS back in the Seventies.

John's original track stood about 100 yards south of where the new track stands. The racing there was legendary; a wide track with lot's of dirt and many racing lines. This formula made for the most exciting Speedway Racing in Southern California, according to many. The New IMS has as it's business plan, to duplicate that track and they did! Brad Oxley of Costa Mesa Speedway helped build the new track and is interviewed in this video

Inland Motorcycle Speedway ran from the seventies into the mid-eighties in San Bernardino California. World Champions such as Bruce Penhall, Sam Ermolenko and Billie Hamill cut their teeth on the small, San Berdoo oval. Here it is 2009 and IMS is back! This time it's known as Inland Motorsport Speedway and the promoters are Jason Bonsignore and Shawn McConnell. Also making a cameo appearance is Larry Huffman, prior voice of Costa Mesa Speedway. There is a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a lot of great speedway racing! Bruce Flanders, the track announcer provides the soundtrack for this video. The PA was not quite dialed-in this first night of racing at IMS, it is greatly improved in the later shows.

The DVD is a two-disc set, running 110 minutes. We also have a Blu-Ray disc available of this show.
