This page is dedicated to open wheel racing photos. Sprint, Champ, Midgets, Micro-Sprints, Mini-Sprints, Super Modifieds and more. All images are taken by either Mark or Matt Sublett. We started photographing the sport of Sprint Car racing in 1995 after 10+ years of attending races at our home track San Jose Speedway. We are currently members of the Motor Sports Press Association and contribute to a number of racing papers and internet sites. Our biggest accomplishments include becoming the official photographers of the BCRA Midget division, as well as images being selected for use in the National Sprint Car Calendar selected by veteran photographers Mike and Nan Arthur. Most of these photos are shot in Northern California, but trips to the Mid-West every year have produced some good shots also. I hope you enjoy the photos in our gallery. If you need a photo for your internet site or have any questions about this one, send E-Mail to us at:MrkSub@comcast.net Come back often to view new photos.

In loving memory of Kay Goularte. She always had a smile that we'll never forget. We had many talks with her pitside at BCRA Vintage and Midget event's over the past few years and will miss her greatly. She was always by the side of her loving husband Frank. Last season they were at every BCRA Midget race helping Stu Donaldson (Owner) and Driver Scott Nail. It was great to see and talk to her almost every week. I know she will be looking over us from heaven making sure we are ok. Her spirt will be with us forever. This photo is the last one I took of Kay (C) at the BCRA Banquet 1-31-09 with her husband Frank by her side and good friend and driver Scott Nail. We will miss you Kay but you will always be in our hearts.
Northern California racing community is in morning after learning that up and coming driver Christian Stover died 4-2-09. It is with great saddness that we post this photo of a driver so young and so talented. I regreat never talking to him or getting his head shot thinking he will be around for years to come. I did talk to his respected car owner Harley Van Dyke about his new driver and he told me Christian is just as good as one of his former drivers Brad Sweet. It is a shame that God took him just as he was getting started in life. R.I.P Christian Stover
The Northern California Racing community has lost a great supporter in Gary Dennett. Gary supported racing for many years with his sons at the wheel of his racecars. They raced from Odysseys to Midgets and collected wins in all divisions they raced. His BCRA accomplishments include BCRA Lite Championships in 2001-2002 with son Greg driving and another in 2004 with Scott Kinney at the wheel. Gary also won the Midget Car Owners championship in 2004. Gary was inducted into the BCRA Hall of Fame in 2006. We first met Gary at San Jose Speedway in 1996 when Todd and Greg ran Micro's and we have have seen them race countless times while moving up the racing ladder. He always had a smile on his face win or lose and always had time to look over our photos and share stories with us in the pits. Let us all remember Gary looking proud with his family and friends close at hand as he was the night of the 2005 BCRA Banquet. Rest in Peace Gary Dennett, we were proud to call you a friend.
Prayers are also needed for Marty Boyer who we met at Santa Maria and visited his family's museum in Belleville many times. Marty is a big supporter of racing many nights we would sit by the computer waiting for Marty to post results from his Belleville KS home. Midget Madness : has updates on his condition and address to donate funds to help the family in this tough time. Get Will Soon Marty!!
In Memory of Jim Turner who passed away during the running of the 9-28-07 SCRA 360's main event at Kings Speedway. I never met the man but saw him race several times the above photo was taken at the 410 shootout at Chowchilla Speedway in 2006. He also built and drove schoolbus's at Chowchilla Speedway. Rest in Peace Jim Turner
In memory of Bob Consani. On this night Davey Hamilton drove his famous 4c Sprinter to Madera's Harvest Classic victory lane in 2000. We will miss the 4c
Alex Pruett passed suddenly much too young in life. After reading his name in Arizona race results for many years we met him at a race at Stockton 99 Speedway we took a few photos and chatted for a few moments. We had been following his races results from Indiana and are saddened to learn of his passing may he Rest in Peace. May his race results continue in Heaven.
