Paul Newman, who was Michael Amoretti's team owner at the time this movie was made, narrates the film. Imax lends just the right magic to make car construction entertaining and fascinating. The other car is Michael's new racecar and we follow it from cutting the mold through the race season. The first car is found in a chicken coop and turns out to be the first roadster that Mario ever drove and we follow restoration to gleaming perfection. The script follows the path of two cars very important to the father and son. I was already a fan of Mario because he is the best racecar drive in history since he is the only person to win the CART Championship, F1 Championship, The Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500. It is about Mario Andretti and his son Michael. In fact this would make a perfect DVD to demo your system. Even though it is shot for those huge Imax theaters, it looks and sounds wonderful on my home system. The musical score, cinematography and sound are absolutely stunning as you might expect from an Imax production. Sadly, the speedway was not destined to last: the track was sold in 1980 to the Chevron Land Management Company and demolished in 1981.I enjoyed this movie so much that I watched it twice and that is something to say about a documentary. This was a massive music festival that some considered the “Woodstock of the West.” Another concert, California Jam II, took place in 1978. Many drivers felt it was one of the best tracks ever built in the country and referred to it as the “Indy West.” The speedway was not just for racing - in 1974, California Jam I took place. During its existence many greats drove on its track: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt and Mario Andretti, to name a few. The speedway held the California 500 and nine Winston Cup races. In addition to the main track, it also had an infield road course and a drag strip. The 2.5 mile track, designed as a replica of the racetrack at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, operated from 1970 to 1980.

The Ontario Motor Speedway was once located between Haven Avenue and Milliken Avenue, just north of the Interstate 10 freeway.
