Awards & Recognition

Winner – Best Documentary Marina del Rey Film Festival Audience Award (2025)

Praise

“Time Trials is an in-depth look at Mendy Fry’s life and career in big-time drag racing. It is easily one of the finest motorsports films I’ve ever seen. Considering Mendy’s incredible record as a Heritage Series Top Fuel World Champion ( multiple times! ) and the adversities that she overcame through her journey, it is particularly impressive to see that the filmmakers produced a piece that is to the level of her story. A nearly impossible task that they more than achieved. Whether you’re a racing fan or not, I couldn’t recommend this film enough. A beautiful story beautifully told.” —David Steele, Executive Director – American Hot Rod Foundation

“What makes this film work is how genuine Mendy is. The sly glances. The smile. The sorrow. The anger. The frustration. The tears that lurk just below the surface that she keeps under control when the others would crumble.” Bob Higginson, Surfers Nation

“Very intimate and real. A great window into the heart and soul of a drag racing team. A heartbreaker.” — Brian Lohnes, NHRA Insider.

“You can rent Time Trials: A Drag Strip Requiem on Amazon for $4.99. Or buy it for $9.99. It’ll be the best sawbuck you ever spent.” — Mark Vaughn, AUTOWEEK.
