The Motivator has been designed to help young people realize that
they're currently in the most unique part of their entire lives. They
have the opportunity to feast at the buffet of education for twelve
years, and it's all free! There are only three free things in life. When
you're a baby, you'll be fed and changed for free without you having to
do a thing. At the other end of life, you won't have to pay for your
final ride to the cemetery. The greatest free ride of all, though, is
when you go to school where you can gather up all this information for
free that you'll be able to use for the rest of your life. School isn't
something that you should do because your parents want you to, it's
actually one of the greatest opportunities you'll ever have in life, and
someone else is paying for it! We hope that, armed with this
information, they'll develop a different outlook on why they're spending
time going to school.

Youth Education Through Motorsports and The Motivator
Sandman Motorsports has been in existence for twenty-three years now,
and over that period, we've worked to raise the interest of young folks.
Their eyes are open wide, and they're amazed to see these unique
vehicles, what they do, and how they're built. I've found it disturbing
that in today's world, there is no longer any youth participation in
building and in craftsmanship. I'm from the old school where we used to
build a lot of our own toys and craftsmanship was an important part of
life. If we wanted to be consumers, we had to produce what we wanted to
consume. Young people today are consumers, too, but they seldom, if
ever, have the opportunity to experience where the items they use and
play with come from and how they're built.

Since we have all of this equipment at our disposal, we've found that we
can bring kids in here, give them a tour, show them what we do, and how
we do it. We teach them that our two-wheel drive pulling truck, "The
Motivator", represents their position in the world of youth education,
and help them understand that school is far more than just a place
you've got to go and spend some time. We encourage them to look at
school as a buffet of knowledge that they'll be able to use the rest of
their lives. At Sandman Motorsports we engineer and build parts
in-house, and even though I'm not formally educated in these fields,
intense desire and drive have provided the opportunity to make these
things happen.
