REGULAR SHOW , NEVER AT SENOIA RACEWAY



A REGULAR SHOW, COME ON!

When there is racing at the New Senoia Raceway and the schedule reads, this Saturday night is a regular show, there is nothing regular about racing at Senoia.

Sure there will not be any “Big Money” races or championships but that does not mean you are not going to be overwhelmed by the outstanding driving in all 7 feature races.

We will see “THE BOUNTY HUNT” on #41 Scott Sherrer, who has a $100 winning added to a drivers payout if he beats Scott legally and does not take him out intentionally from the race, LEGAL, get it drivers.

So drivers like #M4 of Winford Minix, #20 Jay Conner or #4P Mike Parker even #E1 of “Fast” Eddy Johnson will be racing to catch that extra $100 dollars on Scott. So look out, Hobby is going to get crazy, as the “Bulls eye is on Sherrer.

Also Mike Ray #99 will be back to defend his reign of winning on the track in the Enduro class my favorite group of warriors. Can he be beaten?

How about the Modified Mini Stock class? Last weekend was a wreck fest with Frank Long in his #07 getting tangled up and catching 3 other cars.

This would leave the door wide open, for #9 Eric Hogsed. Who every time he seems to get behind the wheel wins another race? Also racing were #3 Todd Brewster and his brother #18 Heath Brewster.

Eric was a great driver at 7 Flags Speedway in Sportsman before the doors closed on this historic race track.

What amazes me is the way everyone looks at a DVD of a race from the New Senoia Raceway and believes it is Douglasville’s 7 Flags Speedway, now you are getting some high praise.


When the B-Cadet cars roll out we know there will plenty of rock and roll action, I mean when you have drivers like Jeff Carter in his famous #3 and #22 William Blair, plus #12 of Gary Brand or a host of other drivers, which could include Blake Griffin if he chooses to race in B-Cadet, we will have one exciting race.

Never have I filmed a B-Cadet race that I was sorry about, I mean there is action all over the track, and if a car needs tires and the caution is out, you need to see the speed these crews and families can get tires on and off a car. It is amazing, just to watch that.

Needless to say next weekend the B-Cadet cars are running for $1000 dollars to WIN that will make the big men grow bigger.
Plan on being at the, New Senoia Raceway next weekend for the $1000 to win race.

One more driver I would not count out will be driving #25 and his name is Bobby Slauson, who was running hobby class but has moved up and is really getting the feel for the action. Sometimes a driver may fool you. As a fan you may think who is Bobby Slauson and the next thing you are reading about him in some NASCAR paper. “Strange” things do happen in life, don’t they?




Even the Pure Mini Stock, has plenty of racing action and I am not meaning crashes on every turn, these men are getting it on.

Take Norman Chambers “Bo” as he is known #54 who cruised to a win Saturday night.
He was followed by #D7 of Dorough Bright and others.

Also racing in the class was long time look alike of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mr. Rocky Johnson in his #5 car last season he was #88 because of Dale Jr. Now he drives the #5 car and even though he runs in the back I being a writer do not think Rocky will stay back there because you have to remember this was his first race on the new Senoia race track. So I would give him time, before he learns every corner then look out.

Then it’s a crowd favorite when the NeSmith Crate cars fire their engines, and the sound make a tremble in the night air at Senoia.

The past 2 Saturday nights shows have found #91 Tod Darda winning, but this Saturday night could be different. A few new drivers will be at Senoia because they will be getting some track time because of the big $2000 to win race coming up on the 30th of May at Senoia Raceway.

So if I were Tod I would have my helmet tight as it will be a fast and furious night, in the NeSmith Crate race for the night.

We could have a new winner like #27 Doug Ludwig, or how about #55 Parrish Duncan or #16 Trey White.

I was hoping to see young Matt Dooley back but he must have other racing opportunities to uphold. Remember Matt is only 14 years old and has never cracked his car up yet, so be looking for this up and coming driver in his #18 crate car.

When the Limited Late Model show starts, that is when all eyes are ready for some of the best southern racing in the south.

Drivers like #99 of Rucker Orr, #27 Glenn Morris, #6 Chad Marchman, #25 Scott Duffy, plus #T11 of Troy Tyson not to mention #73 of “Racing” Jason Williams or all putting it on the line for the fans at Senoia Raceway. They are giving it their all to put on one great late model show, so we all should cheer and wave to these drivers as they round the track in front of the flag stand.

One driver I know we will not see is the famous #G1 of Glenn McWaters, whose car ended up on its side when the green flag flew Saturday night and there became an 8 car pile up.
Rucker Orr, Scott Duffy and Jason Williams plus some extra cars made it through the mass of metal.

The clean up took so much time that this weekend we are going to see someone who moves cars for a living try his hand and that is B-Cadet racing star #3 Jeff Carter. Carter has his own Towing Company, called “Carter’s Wrecker Service” and he tows BIG THINGS, he will be driving one of Jacks Tow trucks and lets see how fast the action on the track can get cleared.

So folks get ready for some great action this weekend and even though it says “REGULAR SHOW” that does not mean anything, no show at the new Senoia raceway is “Regular”.


Also when coming to Senoia Raceway, forget about the food on the way, because if you like great food and affordable food, check out the great, tasty and not overpriced food at the concession stand.

There you will find not only friendly folks to help you with your meal, you will maybe get a glimpse of Mark Mills, Jack Mills Son-in-law, who has been in the food industry for years and knows what good food is and wants the fans to be happy.

So when you think Racing, you can also think good food at the south’s top dirt track Senoia Raceway.


Also we all need to thank Tony and Tim Moses and Jack Mills for bringing back high quality racing at the New Senoia Raceway, please come down and see some racing action.


Thanks to Everyone,
