Women's Motorsports Network with guest Tami Bandimere June 2024
Tami Bandimere, a third-generation owner-operator of Bandimere Speedway, reflects on the storied history of the racetrack with immense pride and gratitude for her family's long-standing involvement in the sport. She underscores the founding principles established by her grandparents in 1958, which aimed to provide a safe and responsible environment for young people to experience the thrill of automotive speed away from city streets. Despite facing numerous challenges, including gender-based resistance and community opposition, Tami's unwavering commitment has ensured the Speedway's success and its enduring legacy. Through initiatives like educational programs and community outreach, Tami emphasizes the importance of preserving the rich history of racing, inspiring future generations to appreciate and continue the legacy of Bandimere Speedway.
