WGS,Little River, Senoia





West Georgia Speedway, Little River Speedway, Senoia Raceway, what have all they in common?

THEY ARE DIRT TRACKS!

West Georgia Speedway is known as “THE BURG”, and if you can drive and win there you can win on any track, put it this way there has been some great drivers run on the track, thinking they would cruise to a easy win, and then something strange happened, I call it “THE FORCE OF THE UNKNOWN”.
Just when a driver thinks he has the race in the bag and all he has to do is go and collect his money, something happens with his car, something like a curse.

West Georgia Speedway is 3/8-mile dirt, semi-banked, oval track that is located off Highway 16 and Wellington Mill Road in Whitesburg, Georgia. It is family-owned since 1992

The track is owned and operated by Sammy Duke who has kept it afloat for over 35 years serving the Northwest part of Georgia.

If you want to see some classic racing, with down to earth drivers, West Georgia Speedway is the place to be on Saturday nights. You have great fans and a tough track, with tougher drivers.

Little River Speedway
If you are looking for a place in Alabama to race, look no farther than the new and improved Little River Speedway, (which was known once as Hollis-Crossroads).

The owner and promoter of this cleaned up track is a 28 year old that has some big ideas for racing, and he seems to know what he wants in life. Little River Speedway has been renovated to become a class race track. How do you get there?
As Wren Goodman the promoter says, “We are located 1/2 mile from Hollis Crossroads down Highway 431 south.”

The Speedway itself is located at 9104 Highway 431 Heflin, Alabama.

For all kinds of information regarding this super cleaned up race track, which will have some fantastic racing shows coming up, all you have to do is contact Wren Goodman at 1-256-488-5148.

SENOIA RACEWAY
If you are looking for a Historic Track, then look no farther than Senoia Raceway, that’s right “THE NEW SENOIA RACEWAY”. This track went back to DIRT, for the 2010 racing season.

Jack Mills along with Tony Moses, and Tim Moses, have brought back dirt track racing to an asphalt track.

WE ARE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS WITH CONVERTING THE TRACK BACK TO DIRT. WHEN IT IS COMPLETED WE CAN BEGIN WORK ON THE NEW GO KART TRACK AND CONTINUE TO GET READY FOR THE 2010 SEASON. WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR ALL THEIR INTEREST IN NEW SENOIA RACEWAY. THE SEASON WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.

When I filmed races there in the 2000 season, the track was known as the fastest 3/8th Oval in Georgia! Remember it was Asphalt then.

The New Senoia Raceway is known as The fastest 3/8th DIRT Oval in Georgia!

Remember racing season is almost here, and now that West Georgia Speedway is holding some practices on Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon till dark, it is a great time for a driver to take their car down before the “Bama Bash” to check it out.

What I enjoy most is getting down to the track and I know February is still a long way off, but to hear the sound of the engines makes you wish it was March and you were at the track.

Come to think about it, and I will mention it briefly, Sammy Duke said before it is over he plans on running some Late Model Shows that will pay $1500 to win, like I told him if he wants to see some real fans fill his stands, that is all he needs to do, put on a few LATE MODEL Shows.

Those are just some things in the works at West Georgia Speedway, who knows what will happen.
