FLAGS AND FEELINGS

"Lets
Get
Ready
To
Rumble"

Get to know the flags, DRIVERS, You will be seeing them waving at New Senoia Raceway a lot.

Again in 2011 Flagman "Chad Harrington" the flagman supreme will be again making sure every driver knows the rules, and he is the flagman that makes racing and winning something to see with his "Double Checkered Flags Wave" at the end of the feature. You have to see him to believe him, lots of respect from the drivers also and that is great.


New Senoia Raceway will be the place to see all the greats in 2011, because Tim and Tony Moses are running the track now, so they plan on putting on some super races. The fans will be coming in droves so please be ready, practices are in March and the opening will be April 2nd, 2011 so "BE THERE".












Drivers like Mike Head known as "The Headman" has seen his share of Checkered flags in the past, but he doesn't mind seeing one more, you know you are in a race with"The Headman" in the field.

BIG MIKE'S CAR






Mike Head is a Dirt track legend, and when he pulls in every person stands because they know they are about to witness history.



Has anyone else heard the rumor that is surrounding the racing world of dirt, and that is Tim Bright Sr. is planing a return to the dirt track and Senoia.

If this is a fact, we could see in the same B-Cadet race, Tim Bright Sr. plus Billy Bright Sr. and young sons Tim Bright and Billy Bright Jr. what would happen if this became a fact, what kind of racing would we see. We know Tim Bright has a new car, but can his Father who dominated Senoia Speedway in years past make a return or is this all hot air? We shall all see soon but it would make for some great racing fun. Got to mention the B-Cadets will gain some one else to the feature that does not like to lose and that is Enuro driver #4 Michael Nelms, who is fierce on and off the track. It is about time Michael Nelms broke away from Enduro and leaped up to B-Cadet because he will make racing more exciting.

The Orange T7 is Tim Bright Jr. could we see father son races again?








Don't you know Billy Bright Sr. is making this old man "Hungry", I mean look at that meat, and look at him cook, if he can cook as well as he drives he will never have a problem.

When racing starts back with the opening race at New Senoia Raceway set for April 2, 2011 we should see the best of the best I mean drivers that don't look back. Drivers in Limited Late model like #21 "Little" Joe Armistead Jr. and how bout #73 "Racing" Jason Williams, and don't count out #25 Scott Duffey. Other drivers to watch will be #18 Shane Criswell and #9 Shane Fulcher, who will have his father racing with him in the same feature, that should really be a class act.
And who would ever count out #99 Rucker Orr, if what he tells me is true he will have 2 cars.
We all know #33 Brian Reese will be back, he has the car and money to make it work this year.

Also never count out #27 Glenn Morris, a true racer and great person to know.

One thing is for sure Rucker Orr wants to beat Little Joe Armistead Jr. fair and square, and he is on a mission this 2011 season.

Mix in some Alabama drivers and you will see one class act limited late model race.

If all goes as planned you the fans will be seeing Georgia best and fastest drivers in the South.


We should also see the "Winged Outlaws" back at Senoia this new year, will it be another 2 day show who knows except Tim and Tony Moses.

One thing was for sure the fans loved watching these super fast cars roar around the 3/8th mile oval at Senoia.


This year racing at Senoia is going to fit the fans, and families from every where as giving the drivers some real "Show Time".


The Pure Mini feature will have some of the best drivers in the South, drivers like Russell Bright, who you can see buckling up because his feature is almost ready has to be the "Bulldog" of a driver.

Russell has been around, and knows his way to the front but getting there he will have to drive past Senoia Pure Mini Winners like #00 Matt Black, #16 Stephen Hill, #4 Dusty Jones #39 Bobby Arnold and more.

Everyone thinks the pure mini races are not worth staying for, but these young and older men drive with the passion of the Late Model drivers and trading paint is not a option, rub them and they will rub, scrub and move you out of the way, that's how they become the best.

Drivers that win at Senoia Raceway join some of the most "Historic" Race car drivers list. You WIN you are a winner and no one can take that away from you. More or less you have beat the best on this Saturday night.







Young drivers like #4 Dusty Jones won at Senoia and he proved he could out drive the old men, but can he do it again in 2011?








It's true this dirt/clay is the same winning stuff that gave Hobby Car champion #41 Scott Sherrer Win after Win after Win, plus it is the same as #21 Little Joe Armistead Jr. returned to prove that he is a driver that is supreme.



Drivers come from different States to "Play in the Clay" on Saturday nights at New Senoia Raceway.


Remember when drivers WIN and come home and wash the dirt of their car, they are washing away pure gold or a piece of racing history.




Jack Morris , Glenn's uncle won at Senoia Speedway in 1970's. Then his dad Bob Morris started to show his hand at winning , so Bob's son Glenn would race in the footsteps of his Uncle and Father.


Winnless in 2010 Glenn made every race and that is a feat in itself.

His Son # 27 Glenn Morris is looking for a win in 2011, he didn't get it when the track opened back with clay in 2010, but hey this is a new season and I am sure Glenn Morris has a new outlook on the racing season.






This was a wreck that almost took Glenn out of racing, as his car was caught up in a huge collision with other cars.







Bad wrecks happen in racing, and as you can see Glenn Morris was very lucky to walk away from this terrible crash, but what did he do next Saturday night, your right he came back to race on the same track that could have taken his life, GOD was riding with him that is all I can say.









The man with the "Bulls-eye" riding, with him will be one of the best Limited Late Model Drivers, and that is none other than "Little" Joe Armistead Jr, who in the picture below shows what he has done in the past and what he does best when he is racing on any track in the South.
Here he is showing his stuff at old 7 Flags Speedway when I was a young Photographer, I seen Joe beat Bill Elliot, and that was a thrill.

I knew he was tough then, now look at him. At home, Joe is laid back and you have to get to know him, he is one of a kind with a heart of gold. Just don't try and rough him up on the track, are he will grab that inch and take a mile in a minute. Then you will look up and say "He's Gone".


Just when you think he can't do any wrong on a track, it happens like this horrifying crash at Rome Speedway
"Little" Joe walked away but his car was demolished, GOD was with him that is all I can say.



So remember for fast and furious racing action make plans to be at New Senoia Raceway, April 2, 2011 for the season opener.

As you can see by "Racing Jason" Williams car, they don't race for 2nd place, they are racing to win.
BE THERE!!!!
