FRIDAY !! I Can't Wait !!!




" Thank GOD it's Friday, I can't bear another weekend with NO racing"
Take a close look, the flagman is waving that "Green" flag, so lets go racing boys!, Southern Style, if your not rubbing your not racing, and I know this Saturday night at West Georgia Speedway we will see some real action in all features.

The Modified Mini cars should prove to give us some thrills, as Richard Bagby, try's to pass his son "Little Richard who will be driving the car #19, last week Richard tried hard to get around his son, but there was no way of passing, not high nor low, his Son wanted 2nd place and guess what he took it. This weekend they are all shooting for a pure out hard charging Modified Mini driver in the #07 car, and that is Frank Long, who has seen plenty of battles on the track.

The Enduro's should take the track, and we should all keep our eye on the #32 driven by Terry Finnell, a up and coming driver in this class, I call him "Sunshine" because his car is a bright yellow, that you can't miss. Winford Minnex, driving the #M4 should also be in the same class and what ever class he runs he is always hard to beat, he is known as "The Purple People eater", and he takes no prisoners. Don't forget the #GT13 of driver Charlie Garrett, he is always in the mix, Good Luck to all drivers in this tough field of cars.

How do you like this photo of Sammy Duke and his wrecked car mover, I mean when you want cars off the track, Sammy is the man, with this classic Ford tractor, as classic as he is.

Moving on to Hobby, now this is where the action should heat up, because we should see Blant Duke in his #01 car race after crashing it some weeks back. Blant will be ready and I know the other drivers will want to beat him, because Blant will pass you high or low, if there is a way to get around you, he will make it happen.

Now don't leave out the famous #3 of "Big" Jeff Carter, from Stockbridge, Georgia, he is always in the running and always runs in the top 3. News, Jeff has been working on his car all week and if Jeff has the car right, he can and will blow by any driver that gets in his way, that is what I call him "The Magic Man".
Who else will show up, well we will have to see, as you never know because Sammy Duke has really made the track better if not faster.

Then let them Crate Cars come out, and lets see who has the most muscle under their hood. I know for sure the #16 of Tony Kemp if he is there will put on a show, and lets not forget the #K17 of Mark Knight, another of the top crate car drivers anywhere he races. Mark is laid back, and humble, but when he is racing he is another animal. We have no idea if the #8 of Michael Keener will return to take a victory as he did opening night. We will just have to wait and see, Michael is strange and to be honest last week, or March 7, 2009 was the first time I saw him race, and I have seen all kinds of drivers.

After the Crate Cars, the crowds are happy to have a intermisstion so they can fill up on good food, Opening night they sold out of everything, and you know they were happy, so if you plan of eating get there early and stock up. I really like the onion rings, and burgers, slip in some nacho's and cheese and jalopeno's and you have a meal and a half.

Then settle down for the real racing action action, as those super fast Sportsman cars take the track, and we never know how many there will be, but we do know that one of the cars will be the ever so fast #99 of Rucker Orr, and when he is there you will have a race. Maybe #G1 of Glenn McWaters will show up, then again we don't know what Glenn will do, if he is there you will witness some outstanding racing action.
Craig Scott may show up, then again we never know where Craig will be, he could be anywhere.
I am sure the winner opening night will be back, and that is the #18C of Shane Crisswell, who started on the pole and finished 1st opening night, but then again that was opening night. Saturday will be a new night and more adventure.

I am looking forward to watching Blant Duke drive in Rucker Orr's back-up car on a limited basis, when Blant is behind the wheel, we never know what will happen, because Blant Duke has fire in his eye's when he rounds thos banks at West Georgia Speedway. He may even give Rucker a time, lets see what happens make sure you are ready when Keith the flagman drops the green flag in the Sportsman Feature.

So Driver' please get them cars ready to rumble, and lets see so great racing at "Historic" West Georgia Speedway located in Whitesburg, Georgia.

Results will be posted on this Blog, Monday Morning.

Remember if you would like a copy of a DVD of the night of racing, please let me know so that I can have it ready for you. Price never changes $20 per DVD.

Last I would like to make it clear that I will NO LONGER be filming the Pure Mini class, UNLES
I am paid up front, since most drivers in this class never order DVD's I find it no sence in wasting time and film, when I could be headed back to my home in Douglasville Georgia.

If you want me to stay and film your feature, my rules are simple "Payment MUST be up front"
and if your car breaks down during the race there is NO Refunds, same goes if you fall to make the race.

Sorry if that offends you, but I am taking care of paying customers FIRST.

Many Thanks,
