PLOT

A documentary about grassroots racing and what it takes to keep it alive. The film follows Robert Snyder, a short track promoter fighting to keep his track open, along with drivers Ryan and Austin Pannone and Tyler Gallup as they race through a season at Orange Show Speedway, one of the last remaining short tracks on the West Coast. Through their experiences, the film shows the realities of short track racing, the cost, the risk, the long nights, and the community that surrounds the track. As more local tracks close, Short Track examines what these places mean to the people who race there and what could be lost if they disappear.
