West Georgia Speeday! Sunday racing in the HEAT

“West Georgia Speedway, Sunday Dust Bowl and more..”

Sunday afternoon racing at West Georgia Speedway became a real challenge for all the many drivers that came to the historic new race track which is under new management of Jack Mills.





The races at West Georgia Speedway or held every Friday night, but since the holiday was at hand they went to a Sunday race, and the heat in Georgia was incredible, making it impossible to keep the track watered and not dry, as a bone.





But just like everything, the heat was beating down so fast that the track was not able to hold water. Which was a shame because it almost cost #73 Jason Williams a car, as he barreled into turn 3 and was coming out during his qualifying run, he almost lost his ride in the wall at West Georgia Speedway due to the dust.





There were several late model drivers that were on hand to race at West Georgia Speedway before heading to Rome Speedway to race that same night. So damaging a car was not what any of the drivers needed are wanted. Drivers like #11 Lavon Sparks known as the “Phenix City Predator” and he is moving up the point’s leader board at New Senoia Raceway in Senoia Georgia. Then there was #25 Scott Duffy, always a class act race car driver. Duffy, who has had so many wins at West Georgia Speedway plus wins at other tracks, it is impossible to keep track of all of them, amazing.





#73X Richard Davis was also there driving a car that looks almost identical to Jason Williams car, only the number is different.
Stevens also is a winner and won the crate race at Senoia Raceway, this past weekend.





Also racing at West Georgia Speedway was #54 Mike Head who was not driving his car but a friend’s car, trying to get the bugs worked out of it.





But the day belonged to Lavon Sparks who came up from Alabama to race at West Georgia Speedway, and then he would be off to Rome just like Williams, Duffy and other late model drivers.





The Speedway was also packed with hobby cars, and pure mini cars plus what can you say B-Cadet cars.


The B-Cadet race was hot, in more ways than one, put it this way during Hot laps, Billy Bright Sr. and his Son Billy Bright Jr took the track with #3 Jeff Carter, nothing new just hot laps right?




Wrong, I had not started filming when I noticed Billy Bright Sr. gained speed and passed his son’s car and that is when it happened he ran right into Jeff Carter, whose car spun, and out of the car came a heated Carter and the battle was one. Jeff would pull his car into the infield pit area, where some sheet metal work just had to be done, while Billy Bright Sr. had to load his car on his trailer and get it ready to head back home and work on the entire front of his car. Why did this all happen, well it started at New Senoia Raceway last weekend when Jeff Carter got into the back of Billy Bright Sr. who thought Carter did it on purpose, but if it was done on purpose I am sure Chad Harrington the main flagman who was in the tower talking over the race receiver’s would have informed Jeff to go to the back of the field but that did not happen. The video I shot shows the entire racing accident including, the end of the 20 lap feature where Billy Bright Jr spun and was hit directly near the driver’s door by Blake Griffin who had nowhere to go, but into Billy Jr. At that point in the video I had closed the camera into a close up shot of Billy Bright Jr, whose head was laying sideways in the car that was when I became very worried about the driver. He is young and a warrior, but licks that that can take a toll on the human body.





I had not even realized that that was the end of the race, until I looked down and seen Billy Bright Sr. in front of the grandstands, and the Announcer letting Billy have his say. It was then and only then did I know that the battle between Jeff Carter and Billy Bright Sr had reached a new level of impact.

Like I said, racing is racing, but when a driver gets hurt that is not a sport anymore it becomes dangerous. Will this battle rage on, all I know is I hate to see what happens at Senoia this weekend.

One person that was not happy with the whole event was Jack Mills, who gave both drivers a piece of his mind and even during the B-Cadet race at West Georgia Speedway he informed both Billy Bright Jr and Jeff Carter that if anything happened during their race they would be escorted by the County to the local jail and that would be the end of that. As Jack said if you want to wreck each other take it back to New Senoia Raceway. One thing for sure Jack Mills will not tolerate this nonsense at his track.

Needless to say, Billy Jr started the race in his #B7jr car, and took the lead, and was being chased by Jeff Carter, but the laps would run down and Billy Bright Jr would take his 1st win of the 2011 racing season on a Sunday afternoon at Hot West Georgia Speedway.

Jeff Carter would finish 2nd and sitting in the grandstands was Billy Bright Sr. what a race.
Jack Mills has been bringing some great racing action to the Historic race track and giving it more life, the infield is in bad shape, but before long Jack will have that worked out, to where cars can again fill the infield pit area. One thing for sure Jack Mills knows how to run a track, and you listen or you can find the highway home.

One thing for sure this weekend will be something else. Also I was informed by a driver, that really if you look at it all in all, it was a BRIGHT WEEKEND, what that means is simple, Billy Bright Sr. won on Saturday Night at Senoia Raceway and Billy Bright Jr won at West Georgia Speedway on Sunday afternoon. So it may have been HOT but the Bright’s were in full charge, and could this be the start of the winning streak for the Bright’s.

The drama between the Carters and Bright’s has just exploded and who knows when it will end. Drivers are strange, some can be the best that you can meet then at times they turn in to wolves, and you never know what can happen.

As for as West Georgia Speedway’s food, HAND’s DOWN THE BEST IN THE SOUTH, Jack and Mark have been working at making the food tastes like real food and not racetrack junk. So when at “The Burg” or West Georgia Speedway, cruise on into the concession stand for some great Hamburgers, Cheeseburger, Chicken Sandwiches, Fries and Nachos and Cheese, Corn Dogs, and Hot dogs and of course cold drinks of your choice.



All this food served with a smile, something that the concession stand at Senoia Raceway was known for, plus the food is delivered into your hands by people that care.

Jack Mills, “BIG JACK” is back and West Georgia Speedway will be racing every Friday night, hopefully the races will be over before midnight, so people have time to get home and get some rest for Saturday.

Thanks to every driver that came out to West Georgia Speedway on Sunday April 29, 2011 in the HEAT to watch some exciting racing. All we know is West Georgia Speedway is BACK!

I would like to pass along an apology from promoter Jack Mills. Jack acknowledges that there was inadequate preparation and watering done to the track surface prior to Sunday's race. He takes full responsibility for the resultant dust. Further, he assures me, and asks me to pass along a promise to fans and racers that it will never happen again. Jack Mills has been around race tracks for 30 years and has been a driver and knows what needs to be done to upgrade the track to where it is the finest in the South.

Many Thanks to all my readers,

His Name is Chad....need I say more...

“HE SAYS IT, THEY DO IT”

I got a rare glimpse of one of racing premier flagman in the South Saturday night prior to the racing action at New Senoia Raceway.

When I film my eyes are always on Flagman Chad Harrington because I know he is like a great orchestra leader, and he makes sure all drivers mind him. There is no special driver on the track, just a lot of drivers who want to win, and without a class act flagman like Harrington it would be a mess.

Drivers would have their way, and that is something Chad does not put up with, as kind as he is on the outside once he is standing on a flag stand he becomes a new man.
Most night he is up in the flag stand with his son Alex who Chad lets flag the lower class races, and that is great experience too, a father teaching his son.

I was privileged to sit in the tower and listen to Chad on a race receiver talking to the visiting flagman, giving him time to work the races under the eye of Chad and what I heard was amazing.

It is so strange while the cars were hot lapping to hear and see Chad talk to the drivers, telling them to run up top to clean up a groove, or even to hear him say “gentleman, work your tires back and forth, always adding a please at the end”.

Very rarely do I have a chance to sit and listen to someone I admire, but Saturday night was my lucky night at New Senoia Raceway.

When I first started filming at New Senoia Raceway, all I knew was the flagman was key to my filming of races, I watch him very intently because when he says one to go, I fade from black to start recording and the race is on, unless I see him throw a yellow, in which, it is my cue to fade the camera after getting the shots I need of the cars that were involved in the wreck.
Once he throws the green again, it is back to filming and it all ends on one of the most dramatic finishes in motor sports. As Chad throws his famous “Double Checkered Flags” and no flagman that I have seen does it better.

Chad is a quiet man, a family man, who loves his family and enjoys his work. When he is with family he is all family first man. When he is working on a flag stand Chad is a new man, and new breed, a rare breed.

Whatever the case, it was amazing just listening to Chad converse with drivers making sure they had their race receiver’s on, and if not they had better before the race started.


He was even giving small details to a driver that had numbers on one side of his car, he told him before he came out for his feature he had better have at least duct tape lettering on the fans side of the car. Small details, but they mean so much and when you have a class race track you expect the drivers to go along with every rule in the book.

One thing for sure I have seen Chad come down off the flag stand and get right in a drivers face and confront them about what they are not doing right, and when you see his hand pointing with a black glove on it, you know he is not happy at all.
To wrap it all up Chad is a flagman that I can admire, and I have seen my share in all the dirt track racing I have done filming some of the best and some of the worst drivers on tracks.
All I know is ever since I lost my wife on April 8th, 2011. Things have not been the same, except for Saturday night racing at New Senoia Raceway, where I believe I was embraced by a true racing community.

I have a young man helping me since I am getting older, and he is just 16, Mason Blair is his name, and a kind young man. While the Spectator races were going on, Chad walked onto the deck where I film in the HOT Georgia sun, and I heard Mason say he was the second best at something, I was concentrating on the race. But that is when I heard Chad give Mason some words of wisdom that could and only would come from Chad, he said to young Mason, “Never say your second best”, always try and be the best”.

Now this was coming from someone I admire and if you notice in some of the photos on this BLOG you will see the gently side of Chad Harrington that drivers rarely see.

All I can say it is a honor for me to sit and listen to Chad as he was talking to the drivers with so much respect, it was like a different world. It was a world that I have never entered into before, because I never knew much regarding race receivers. To me it was amazing, I mean there you had some of the biggest names in racing and Chad was chattering away in their ear and whatever he said they did.

Can you imagine, having the nerve to come down and talk to drivers like #54 Mike Head, #73 Jason Williams, #9 Shane Fulcher, #99 Rucker Orr, #21 Joe Armistead Jr, and so on, and these are drivers just in the Limited Late Model race. I have not even talked about the Hobby, or B-Cadet drivers or the Crate drivers.

All I can say is Chad has his hands full every Saturday night, the action is worth watching, the race and but please keep an eye on Chad Harrington, as he directs traffic like no one else.
I want to personally thank Chad Harrington for the rare insight of dirt track racing that I have never known before, I may be 61 but who says you can learn something new every time you or at a race track?

Too all the great racing fans in Georgia, please come out to New Senoia Raceway and catch some of the best drivers in Georgia and Alabama. Oh and keep an eye out for the young and talented flag man Chad Harrington. You will be amazed at how he handles the drivers and flags the race.

Many Thanks to everyone,

Saturday May 28th, views and news.....

NEW SENOIA RACEWAY, “WHATS UP”, COME ON MAKE MY DAY!

Tony and Tim Moses have been putting together some great shows at New Senoia Raceway, but the fans have spoken that they would like to see more local features with maybe some extra money on the line.

Yes we know the Outlaw Sprint Cars will be back in August and we can deal with that, but gone are the touring Crate car series at least for the rest of 2011.

Back will be some special events for fans and families and children, so you can look forward to some exciting events.
How about today’s 1st Spectator Drag race around 3/8th mile Senoia Raceway with some street legal cars, all drivers who win advance to the final round and will be crowned the 2011 Spectator Driver and Champion for the 2011 racing season. This is going to be good, I mean real good, and the fans will really have a great time watching each car advance. So be ready to pick your driver and car, and see if he can make it through the 8 tries around.
Also coming up is the famous “Demolition Derby” last season it was front wheel drive vehicles this season, let’s get a little crazy and have a minivan demolition derby, that’s right mini vans.
This has always been a fan favorite event, and only New Senoia Raceway knows how to handle events of this magnitude.
Later I am sure we will see the famous “Watermelon eating contest” that makes everyone hungry and happy.
This is also the night of the famous Senoia Raceway “Fireworks Show”.
All in all racing at New Senoia Raceway, are going to be more exciting and a lot more demanding on the drivers, because drivers who race at Senoia are not 2nd place drivers they are all fighting for the win every race night. 2nd place is nice but not what they come after, just ask #41 Scott Sherrer, who blazed the way in the Hobby feature last season, it is just this season he is up against some great drivers.


Like #07 Clifton “Hog Head” Moran, then you have #01 of young Blant Duke, plus #33 of “Rambling” Rusty Johnson. Also when he is racing is none other than #K1 of Kip Stanfill, who has been out for a while do to being run into with of all people #87 Pappy Powell.
The list of drivers goes on and on, because Senoia Raceway is known for setting history and making drivers great.

And if the fans don’t like the Hobby feature, wait we have the famous B-Cadet feature which features some of the most outstanding drivers in the South. Drivers like #B7 Billy Bright Sr. known as “The Legend”, his son, Billy Bright Jr. in the #B7Jr car, always a huge threat in any race. Then you have the current point’s leader, #3 of Jeff Carter who has had the car to beat so far this young year.
But B-Cadet racing has become more intense as extra drivers have been really showing that they also can be winners. Rumor has it, in a few weeks the sometime driver of the Pure Mini #4 car which belongs to Dusty Jones will be racing in the B-Cadet feature and he is none other than Erik Hogsed, a well-liked driver who can drive with the best of the drivers. So fans please be ready for some exciting B-Cadet features and these races will never let you down in any way.

When the Crate cars appear on the track for their feature you never know who can and will win this exciting race, drivers like #T7jr of Tim Bright is itching for a win, or even a 2nd place finish. Then you have #M96 of young Marty Lunsford, who is young but has the talent to run with some of the best drivers in this feature.
Drivers like #91 of Todd Darda, can leave their mark on the track, Darda has been a winner of many a Crate feature. But that does mean he cannot be beaten, just let him slip up and who knows you may see Tim Bright or Marty Lunsford taking the win.

After the Crate feature, let’s get ready for the hardest working drivers at the track, those Pure Mini drivers, who work all week, just to get their 4 cylinder cars ready to race.

Drivers like #00 of Matt Black from Douglasville, Georgia, also racing are #0 of Dorough Bright known as “The Original”, plus a driver that never fix’s his car same dents as always, #13 of Gary Parker. We know that #4 Dusty Jones has been disqualified from racing for 1 more week, but his car will be driven this Saturday night by Erik Hogsed, and believe me when I tell you if he wins it is because his car is legal all the way. They changed all the wrong parts and installed all the right parts, so if the #4 wins it is because it is the driver and the car. One driver that was involved in a wreck on the back stretch was #54 Norman Chambers. I have no idea if his car will be ready after last weekend’s wreck.

Then after you have raided the concession stand for some great food and drinks you can get ready to watch some of the greatest Limited Late Model Drivers in Georgia.
Drivers like, #9 Shane Fulcher, plus a winner from 2 weeks back #73 “Racing” Jason Williams, and we might see #21 of Little Joe Armistead Jr. who we have been missing. Don’t worry #99 Rucker Orr will return he is always a driver that fans either love or hate, he is more or less the bad boy in racing.
One thing about the Late Models is you never know who is going to win, all 25 laps are fast and furious and when the dust settles, and Chad Harrington has thrown the “Double Checkered” Flags you know you have seen a race and seen some true winners on this fast track.

My racing partner, my wife, has departed into the skies in Heaven and I miss her reading my blogs and proof reading them for me for all my mistakes, she was my prayer warrior, and believed in me in everything I did, I miss her so much, more and more I go on because that is what she would have wanted but there are times I want to just quit.
I am asking for your help and prayers, please if you can purchase a DVD because that money is set back to help pay off some of the funeral expenses and there is plenty that needs to be paid off, please help me in any way you can. Please I am asking you as a friend and a writer who loves Dirt Track racing.


May GOD bless you always, and may you WIN every race you drive in!

Many Thanks to everyone,

RACING AT SENOIA THIS SATURDAY, BE THERE!

s

YES IT'S TRUE, THE RACING ACTION IS BACK, GREAT RACING ACTION, FROM THE HOBBY CARS, AND B-CADET CARS TO THE CRATE LOCAL CARS, AND THE PURE MINI CLASS, AND THEN THE LIMITED LATE MODELS, OUR FRIENDS, AND FAN FAVORITES.

Fans can be ready for another show down between the #3 car of Jeff Carter who is now the points leader at New Senoia Raceway. Carter and the BRC racing team who has not captured a feature win this entire 2011 racing season at Senoia, for some reason

Billy Bright Sr. known as "The Legend" or his son Billy Bright Jr known as "The Hotshot" have been the two thorns in Carters side. You know one more person I am leaving out is none other than Marcus Caswell who can be a force to be dealt with when his car is right.

When the B-Cadet car's come onto the track the fans and everyone knows that the show will be "BIG" these men come to race and come to win, that is all that they want and need to do.

If the B-Cadet feature is not your race, well the HOBBY car feature has to be one of the best races in Georgia, drivers like #07 Clifton "Hog Head" Moran who is now the points leader has been winning and putting on a show. Then again he is racing against some of the best drivers in the Hobby races. Take Scott Sherrer #41 a true champion and great person on and off the track. Scott always comes to win, and winning has been coming not as many as in past years. He is always in the hunt but these season he has had his hands full with drivers like Moran and young Blant Duke from Whitesburg Georgia in his #01 car.

In this Old Photo Rusty Johnson is standing next to his famous #29 race car that won lot's of races at many a track.

Then you have last weeks winner, #33 Rusty Johnson, a fan favorite and a driver that has gone through so much in life, he is getting older and the wrecks he has been in is taking there toil on his frail body. The track may look smooth but when drivers are racing they are being beat up in more ways than one.

When the Hobby feature is over it is time for the local Crate Cars to run their races, and these men go at it full time and with all their hearts. Drivers like #T7 Jr of Tim Bright Jr has the car just needs the proper seat time so he can run with these big guys. Also I am hoping to see young star #M96 Marty Lunsford back to racing again, he was missed last weekend. Marty is learning and learning is what it's all about in this demanding sport. I am really not sure who will show up for the Crate race, maybe Todd Darda, maybe Matthew Turner, then again we may see some Alabama gang show up and when they come there is a race and a half.

After the dust has settled, bring on those drivers that think they are racing with the big league drivers and I am speaking about the Pure Mini feature.

This feature is growing but winning can be tough, when you have drivers like #00 Matt Black , #0 Dorough Bright known as "The Original". Then you always have #13 of Gary Parker, and maybe even #54 of Bo Chambers, not to mention the driver that was disqualified last weekend #4 Dusty Jones, and maybe if we all stand up and cheer we can get #16 Stephen Hill to return to race, he has been absent and is a well known presence when he is racing.

And who could leave out #J17 of Joe Spencer or Old faithful Rocky Johnson, who is a mess but a class act person.

After their feature lets all stand up because it's time for the Limited Late Models to run, and the drivers are magnificent. Drivers like #73 Racing Jason Williams, #99 Rucker Orr, #9 of Shane Fulcher, #21 of Little Joe Armstead Jr, plus so many other drivers that make up a great field of racing action.

For pure excitement this 25 lap race is the fastest of the night and when Chad Harrington waves the "Double Checkered Flags" you know you have a true winner. Who will it be , this weekend at New Senoia Raceway?.

Don't forget Spectator drag races will be held so get ready for a event that everyone will be talking about, 8 street legal cars, 8 crazy drivers, all willing to race their car from a dead stop at the start finish line all the way around the 3/8th track to see who advances to the final and becomes the 1st 2011 Spectator Champion, and will their car be in one piece at the end?.

Come see what happens, this is going to be fun......and I like fun.

Please remember, the food at New Senoia Raceway is worth the drive and eating, plenty of great food, from Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, to Hot Dogs, to Chicken Sandwich's, plus Corn dogs and Nacho's and Cheese and the famous Senoia Raceway fries just like you want them. And remember on hot days, the Track has all your favorite beverages, cold to hot, so make sure you don't stop and eat on the way as the food is too good and at a price everyone can handle.

So see ya at the track, and lets see some great racing this Saturday Night at New Senoia Raceway for a full show of racing action.

Many Thanks,

NeSmith 50 lap race plus Super B-Cadet and Hobby races and more

50 LAPS OF PURE EXCITEMENT WITH ONE WINNER, DAN BREUER AND HIS #B7 TOOK HOME THE $2500 CASH MONEY AND PRIZES AND TROPHY.












The same race team from Mount Airy, N.C. showed how crate racing was done, as Steve Cooke set the fast time for the NeSmith Crate Late Model race of 50 laps of pure horsepower.






Chase Edge started along side Cooke, this young blond talented 18 year old driver just one week ago came to Senoia and won the Crate race tuning his car up for the big race of the night.




When Chad Harrington dropped the green flag, it was all racing with no pile ups in turn 1 or turn 2 everyone made it through, Cooke had the lead with Chase Edge following him but in turn 2 Dan Breuer got around Chase in turn 2 and his sights were set on his teammate Steve Cooke.






Once Breuer was past Cooke they worked together like a fine oiled machine, the way and every other Crate car falling in behind. What was amazing to me was that I had earlier spoken and taken some photos of their cars waiting on the outside of the track and the two drivers were as down to earth as could be. As a matter of fact one driver commented that his car was not the winning car, it would be Breuer's car, I laughed and said "Don't think that way, but after speaking to Dan I told him if he could make it through turn 1 then he would make it all the way, never did I realize these two cars would finish 1 and 2 and take home the win.





Young Chase Edge would finish his #18 car in 3rd place not bad because he is only 18 and a High-School graduate, and was racing against some of the best drivers in Georgia and 6 other States from Mississippi, to Tennessee, to North Carolina and parts elsewhere.




You have to remember, there were other outstanding drivers like Jason Williams a late model driver who was driving #16 Trey Whites car, then there was the always talented #27 of Doug Ludwig, from Griffin Georgia, but fate would night ride with Doug on this night as half way through the race he would break a shock and have to pull off the track, thus giving him a chance at the $2500 cash.





Finishing in 4th place was David Gentry and fourth went to fellow Tennessean Jake Teague who would finish the night in 5th place.





When Chad Harrington was waving the "Double Checkered Flags" it would be over Dan Breuer and his teammate Steve Cooke.





The fans at Senoia got their moneys worth of pure excitement, and saw some of the most talented drivers in several states race for some big cash money.

Racing were drivers like, super star drivers like Oliver Gentry, Racing Jason Williams, Chase Edge and Todd Darda, plus Matthew Turner, the race went all 50 laps and only 2 cautions without a major wreck, these men came to race and win. These men also showed the side that they wanted to show. Fans paid extra to come in and see such a fantastic show at New Senoia Raceway, and Tony and Tim Moses and their staff have been bringing in some great shows.

THE NEWNAN BONDING

The start of the night featured the fantastic B-Cadet Cars in a winner take all race, I mean these men came to race and WIN.

This night would be no different, Jeff Carter in his famous #3 took to the track, but also in the race were the famous Bright Racing Team featuring Billy Bright Sr. and Billy Bright Jr. plus a great driver in the #7 of Alabama's Chris Arnett, who led most of the race, only to have his car go south on him, thus letting Jeff Carter take the lead but you have to remember the Brights were following him close and rubbing Carter ever chance that they got.



Carter, the BIG MAN from Stockbridge Georgia, known by this writer as "The Magic Man" and known by others as "Cheeseburger", maybe because of his huge size, what ever you may know him as "Winner" is what suits him better. Carter not only got the huge applause from the huge crowd after the race he has become the B-Cadet leader in points and that is big in its self.


Several times Carter was being closed in on by Billy Bright Jr and also Sr. but Carter would out motor the BRT racing team.



When the race was over, Carter was asked to tear his car down by the Brights in which he did, and when the night was over Carter was declared the winner and he took the winning money plus the money from the Brights who protested his car. They dug late into the night looking for something that could never be found. He was legal, because Jeff Carter has been running a stock
hobby motor, nothing fancy just a great car and a good driver.


The end of the 20 lap feature brought out the applause from the huge crowd who knew that they had watched a classic race. Also winning meant that Jeff Carter was now the B-Cadet points leader taking over for Jay Conner.


I will add this comment and it is personal, so please do not take it wrong, I have several drivers that are my friends, and I want to keep it that way but as long as I have been following Jeff Carter and his racing family , I have never known them to put some car on the track that was illegal in any way. he is just the "Buddy Baker" of racing, hard nosed, and fast.

Jeff Carter and his family would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Keven Horton and son for helping in the complete TEAR DOWN of Jeff's motor, and for all that care his motor is back in and waiting to race at Senoia this weekend, the drama continues, can you wait, I can't?

The Summit Racing Equipment Hobby Stock Feature would be just what it has become a true fan favorite.

Racing would again be #41 Scott Sherrer who has been having problems plus #07 of Clifton Moran and Whitesburg "SuperStar" #01 of young Blant Duke.

But this night would belong to #33 of Rusty Johnson, who has raced with the best and his has had his share of pain in wrecks, and when he was exiting his car after taking the checkered flag when I focused my camera close you could see this great driver in pain, trying to climb from out side his car, several times pounding on the steering wheel in pain. He limped over to get the interview and it was very noticeable that Rusty is getting what is name implies "Rusty" and his bones are not working like they did in his younger days, but that can be said for us folks growing older every day. There were so many times "Hog Head" Clifton Moran tried to pass Rusty and Clifton was racing his heart out, only to have Johnson shut the door on him, blocking him every chance he could get.

When the race came to a end Rusty Johnson would take his first win , and coming in 2nd was Clifton Moran, in 3rd place finished Newnan's Andy Spradlin, and finishing in 4th would be long time champion #41 Scott Sherrer.

When Rusty was interviewed at the end of the race he told track announcer Mr.Ted, that "He did not know if he would be able to hold Moran off, but was happy his car did all the work".






In the Pure Mini race we had another upset again, Driver Dusty Jones was not allowed to drive because one week ago he refused to tear his car down, so he was Disqualified from winning last weekends race, but he returned to Senoia only to have his car driven by always a pure winner Erik Hogsed, Dusty did not drive.


















After a protest to check Dusty Jones car he was found to be illegal and his car was disqualified thus taking the win from Erik Hogsed who had won driving the #4 car, all the drivers had been complaining that Jones car was NOT LEGAL, and sure enough in post race inspections where his car was gone over with a fine tooth brush he was found not to be legal.


That should end the controversy in the Dusty Jones Story, the saying is if you bring a car to the track, make sure it is legal, and not illegal.


So Whitesburg own Dorough Bright would finsh first, coming in 2nd place was Barnesville's Gary Parker, and finishing in 3rd place would be Senoia's Robbie Scadron with Douglasvilles #00 Matt Black taking 4th place somewhere where this young man is not used to finishing. Rounding the finish out and finishing in 5th place was Joe Spencer.



New Senoia Raceway cranks back up with a full show this Saturday night, when the Limited Late Models return to action, and it is always great to see these drivers, like "Racing Jason Williams" , "Shane Fulcher", "Rucker Orr", maybe "Little Joe Armstead Jr", and who knows who else will make the show.



The Hobby cars will return to action with I am sure a new and improved Scott Sherrer wanting to taste the win again, losing is not Scott's best ascet. Back will be Carrolton's own Clifton "Hog Head" Moran, and I am sure we could see Rusty Johnson back, maybe even Blant Duke.




We will not see #K1 of talented driver Kip Stanfill, who is taking some time off and away from racing, why all I hear is his car is not fixed and it does not look good at all for him.



The B-Cadet feature will return , having all drivers eyes set on #3 Jeff Carter who has become the man to beat, "Cheeseburger" as Mike Head nick named him, but to me he will always be the "Magic Man".




No matter what you call him I am sure the Bright Racing Team will be back and they will have their "A" game plan, losing is something that they are not used to doing, and winning is something they have not done so far this season. Do you think they are waiting for "HOT WEATHER"?


The Crate cars will return, minus some of the big names just the regular feature drivers.
Even maybe #M96 of young Marty Lundsford will return.


We all know the Pure Mini's will be back, and I wonder what will happen to Dusty Jones, plus I really wonder if Douglasville's own Matt Black could have his car ready to race and get all the bugs out. Will Stephen Hill show? Great question who knows?.


We know Gary Parker will return as will Dorough Bright. You might even see , Rocky Johnson make the show. Who ever shows up, the fans will see a exciting Pure Mini classic show and always a great feature.

When they are done bring on the Limited Late Models, and lets see who can win after a week off from the track who will be ready to win, what driver will have that burning fire and desire to win and walk off the winner at New Senoia Raceway.


The evening will close with somewhere in between one of the finest crowd pleasers of all a true Spectator Drag race, around the 3/8th oval track one time, the winner advances to round two and so on, untill you have a Specator street legal car. No cost to enter the race BUT there will be a limit to the first eight cars to sign up. So bring your car, and see if you can win some big bucks and have a great time.


PLEASE REMEMBER THE GATES OPEN AT 5:00 P.M. WITH GRANDSTAND GATES OPEN AT 6:00 P.M. Hot Laps begin at 7 P.M. with the green flag dropping at 8:00 P.M. so bring your friends and come and enjoy a full night of racing.


Also make sure you try all the food from the concesstion stand, from the best hamburgers, to cheeseburgers, to chicken sandwitchs and also fries hot dogs, corn dogs, nacho's and chips and cheese and jalepeno's. Plus wash it down with some great drinks, cold and hot, no matter Senoia has what you need.


The Staff is outstanding and there to help you in every way, so bring some friends and turn them on to Dirt Track Racing Southern Style.


Remember you can check out the New Senoia Raceway's website at www.newsenoiaraceway.com or on Facebook. You can also call the raceway at 770-599-6161 to gain any more information.

Again thanks to everyone for Praying for me as I go through this time of my loss of my wife who I miss so much each and every day, sometimes it gets so lonely, thanks for being my friend and standing with me, I know my wife loved each and every one of you, and if she would have been well enough she had planned to make one drive down to the track for one weekend race, well that time never made it, she never had the chance. I know she is watching every race and see all the winners from HIGH above in Heaven, I am sure she is looking down, and thanking Miss Lisa Carter for her slip on's, I am also sure she is thanking each of you drivers for helping me in help with purchasing DVD's and I will always THANK YOU and GOD will Bless You.



Many Thanks,

Lisa and Marcus

LISA AND HER 2ND FAVORITE DRIVER,

#17 Marcus Casswell who drives the heck out of his B-Cadet car at New Senoia Raceway, and has won his last race when Billy Bright Sr. had a illegal engine.

Her main driver is B-Cadet winner # 3 "Big" Jeff Carter her long time husband, who treats her like a queen. Carter has driven at West Georgia Speedway plus taken wins at New Senoia Raceway in Senoia, Georgia.

Jeff started in Hobby and moved up to B-Cadet and no telling where he is headed next, one thing for sure Jeff has a good wife that keeps on cooking for this big man.

In this photo it shows Jeff's old car winning at Historic West Georgia Speedway.


Jeff is a no nonsense driver, and takes his driving to a extreme. When he is focused he can be unbeatable when he is not focused he can be beaten and as a family man I am sure he hears it from his lead cheer leader, his wife Lisa Carter.

When ever you go to a short track dirt track you could see #3 Jeff Carter and his entire family who love racing and racing season.

Now when you think about winning, Carter and his crew would crash the nearest Waffe House and big time eating was on, nothing makes a driver happer than winning and then eating.


Since I lost my wife after 23 years, Lisa has been giving me some cooking tips, some ideas some rare things that I could make and not take forever. What is strange is that when my wife was with me, I did all the cooking and she never complained NOW that she is gone, I am really not wanting to eat or even make anything, it's just not the same eating alone in a world that was once filled with joy.

One thing for sure is that the Carters, are a fun bunch, and I know that some don't like them but I believe you have to get to know them, racing is racing, what happens on the track should stay on the track and not exculate into a war of words, on the track are on facebook.

Winning is something Jeff does best when he has the right car and it is set up proper but every night is a different night, and when drivers get together and cut tires are just spin out it is something that can happen each and every Saturday night.

One thing for sure this is what makes racing the best sport to watch, because you never know who has the hot car on any given Saturday night in Georgia.

Lisa, has always been a blessing to my wife and myself, she has always been my friend and she has gotten me through some really rough nights where I did not want to live on. So again THANK you Lisa, and Jeff and your entire family.


Many Thanks,



Tino Patti

"We Capture WINNING Drivers"

BIG TIME RACING COMES TO SENOIA

NeSMITH CRATE LATE MODEL NATIONAL TOUR
Drivers expected from six states to battle for 40 laps and $2500 to win!



SENOIA SATURDAY NIGHT RACING DIVISIONS (May 21)

MIKE WHEELER AUTOMOTIVE & TRANSMISSION LATE MODELS
NeSMITH NATIONAL TOUR CRATE LATE MODELS
NEWNAN BONDING B CADET
SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT HOBBY STOCK
PURE MINI STOCK

BRING IT ON, SPEED AND GREAT AMERICAN DRIVERS COME TO NEW SENOIA RACEWAY AND WILL GIVE THE EAGER FANS SOME REAL RACING EXCITEMENT.
The Hobby Stock race again featured the blazing #41 Scott Sherrer and his rival #07 Clifton Moran, also racing was #K1 Kip Stanfill who was knocked out early when he and Pappy Powell who is 87 got tangeled up.

Also racing was #33 of Rusty Johnson and #01 of Blant Duke, add some extra cars and you are in for a racing treat.

Taking the win, again was Clifford Moran, in his #07 blue and white car.

If the Hobby Stock is not the race to watch for you, then hang loose the B-Cadet men go to town, racing has never been the same, drivers like “The Legend” Billy Bright Sr. and his son “The Hot Shot” Billy Bright Jr. race alongside of drivers like #3 Jeff Carter and #17 Marcus Caswell, add in some extra B-Cadet cars and you have a heck of a B-Cadet race.

The B-Cadet race was amazing, with so many cars bumping and banging, one car that took a beating was that of #3 Jeff Carter who got mixed up or tangled up with #GT47 of Thomas Phillips. In the same race, Billy Bright Jr. would let another engine let go. What is up with the Bright engines, they are always so faithful, now they are letting go. Something is not right in “Brightsville”, but with enough hands working they should have their car engines back to normal and winning some big races.

As for as Thomas Phillips he was all over and got into Jeff Carters car, when Jeff did make it around he spun and pulled into the pit area, not changing a tire, just making his way back on to the track where the announcer said he would be penalized for “speeding through the infield”.

Once back onto the track, he spun in turn 2 and that was Carters night as the wrecker brought the hook to his car, and once the fans in the stands seen he was unable to continue a huge cheer erupted from the grandstand crowd.
There is something’s I hate and that is seeing a driver in a wreck of any kind and also see and hearing a driver who has crashed cheered for because he was out of a race. Drivers have feeling also and Saturday night looked like it belonged to Billy Bright Sr

When “The Legend” took the checkered flag, everyone believed that Sr. had won the race, he even dedicated the race to my late wife, who I know was watching from above in Heaven, BUT and that is a BIG WORD, later it was found out that Billy Bright Sr. would be stripped of his win and Disqualified after Marcus Caswell protested his engine and had him tear it down, after being found illegal Marcus Caswell became the Saturday May 14th 2011 B-Cadet Winner at New Senoia Raceway.
This would place Brand Lewis in his #75 finishing 2nd place
Thomas Phillips finished in 3rd place.

That ended the beating and banging in the hot B-Cadet race, until next Saturday Night ]

After the B-Cadets it was time to bring on the Crate Late Models, which featured some of the most outstanding drivers in Southern Crate Car racing. Drivers like “The Zero Hero” Craig Scott, “The Phenix City Punisher” Russ Ogletree, Layette Alabama’s young star #18 Chase Edge, plus #03 Oliver Gentry running his Crate car who is always a winner. Then there was #27 Doug Ludwig and #17 of Richie Williams, and #T7jr of Tim Bright from Waco, Georgia. Then you had the young 14 year old of #M96 of young Marty Lunsford who is trying so hard to race with these Big Dogs.



But the night would belong to Chase Edge who is only 18 years old and drives like he has been driving for years. Giving him a run for the money was #0 Craig Scott who posted a qualifying record of 14.975 giving him the outside pole. Also trying to get his car ready for the huge $2500 40 lap feature coming up on May 21st, 2011 Nesmith Crate Car tour. Put it this way these Crate Car drivers were testing the track for the BIG MONEY race next Saturday Night at New Senoia Raceway.
Chase Edge was showing why this young blonde headed young man has so much talent and has what it takes to win every kind of race. Russ Ogletree would prove his car had the stuff become a huge winner.
One thing for sure Russ has what it takes to win and winning is something he has proved he can do at any time. But hang in there Craig Scott the “Zero Hero” has also what it takes to win and this huge race can really help Craig out, $2500 dollars is not chicken feed, it’s a real sit down dinner and a real bill payer for every driver.
This Crate feature will be bringing in some of the biggest names in racing, and fans will come from everywhere for this 40 lap feature race that looks like it will be amazing to watch. I was listening to a driver in the Crate division and he stated to me that he would hang back when the green flag dropped because everyone was going to try and make it around turn 1 and into turn 2 like it was the finish of the race, so instead of getting caught up in the mess they would hang bang let the wrecks happen if it did and go from there.
So fans please try and come there early because this should be the real show for the 2011 season at Senoia Raceway.
So since the Crate cars race was over and #18 Chase Edge blew everyone away even when challenged by Craig Scott, the race was amazing. It was also great to hear what we could of the interview with young Chase Edge.

When the Crates pulled off the track it was time for the young Pure Mini drivers, like #00 Matt Black who had won 2 races in a row, and had the lead in points. Also making the show was #54 of Bo Chambers whose car went up in a blaze last weekend. Bo was back and looking great, also racing was #4 of Dusty Jones, whose was back again, and after he was thought to have won. He refused to tear his car down and was disqualified this was a shame.
This would give the win to Dorough Bright known as “The Original”, with Stephen Hill #16 finished in 2nd place.
3rd place finished John Caldwell, and Matt Black finishing in 4th.
Who will win the Pure Mini race Next weekend?



Then it was time for the feature Late Model Show, which featured Little Joe Armistead #21 back again, plus #99 Rucker Orr who was disqualified last weekend after he thought he pulled off a win. Also racing was #32 of legendary driver “Cowboy” Paul Holloway, who made the race.
Plus all-time favorite #11 Lavon Sparks and #9 of Shane Fulcher who has been racing and finishing in 3rd place almost every night.
Shane needs to make a break out and win the big race. Then there was #73 of “Racing” Jason Williams who apologized to the huge crowd that he was sorry for not running his “A” Car but he has had so much to deal with having a sick child. Now the child is well and Jason came to race and Win something Williams does best.
When FLAG dropped it When the green as again #99 Rucker Orr spinning and causing a 4 car pileup, which almost took out #11 Levon Sparks. Anytime you have Sparks and Orr are on the track there is somewhat of a friction problem.

Once the race was restarted and Chad Harrington was throwing the green flag, it was Jason Williams out front and also Levon Sparks chasing him down. In third place was Shane Fulcher who again was showing his stuff. Finishing 4th place was all time favorite Glenn Morris, and in 5th place was Paul Holloway.

But at the end Chad Harrington was throwing his famous Double Checkered flags and crossing to win as #73 Racing Jason Williams. Who has been a fan favorite for years, who is also a Class Act driver.

To everyone THANKS for everything and keep me in your Prayers I need all the help I can get,

THE TRACK IS BACK!

IMPORTANT NOTICE PLEASE READ: This writer made a mistake which is HUMAN, I wrote in this BLOG the pay would be the same as NEW SENOIA RACEWAY, that was MY ERROR.

The Payout will be made by Jack Mills, and it will deal with CAR COUNT and FANS, there is so much WORK that has to be down, but I would like all drivers to know there will be NO PAY CUTS. Please be advised this notice comes from Jack Mills, so to error is human, please forgive my MISTAKE. What ever the pay is you will be racing at the finest track in Georgia. Historic West Georgia Speedway with a new and positive outlook.

WEST GEORGIA SPEEDWAY RETURNS TO THE GLORY DAYS OF RACING

NEWS from the BIG DOG himself none other than one time promoter/driver “Big Jack” Mills will be running West Georgia Speedway this time Jack will have his hands in everything that goes on at the track. “Historic” West Georgia Speedway will return for pure powerful racing starting May 20th, 2011. That’s right FRIDAY NIGHT RACING WILL BE BACK AT THE “BURGH”. One thing for sure is the track is in great shape like always, but the catch is that every piece of anything that had been used to cook with IS GONE, New clean stuff is now being installed, and the food will be the best again, maybe topping Senoia and that is a stretch, because it was Jack’s son in law that turned that concession stand around to where everyone was ready to eat and not be afraid of what they were eating. Also gone will be the “football scoreboard” that Sammy Duke promised to have working, and Jack is having a real racing Scoreboard placed up and will be working.

Drivers in every division are asked to attend Friday May 13th, 2011 for some sincere talks and practice at the track. Jack wants all drivers to attend so that he does not have to change any of the rules at West Georgia Speedway, also drivers can look forward to being PAID the correct amount just as they do at New Senoia Raceway. No more cutting of the pay, it’s you race, you finish you get PAID, enough said.

You may not see BIG Jeff Carter race at WGS on Friday, but you never know what the "Magic Man" has up his sleeve, he may have some one bring his car on Friday night, and he will be there in time for the race and he could win at West Georgia Speedway and Win at New Senoia Raceway Saturday night.

His wife "55 Coke" Lisa Carter would be smiling like she is in this early photo taken at WGS.

Modified Mini drivers welcome BACK, Hobby welcome back, B-Cadet Welcome back, Pure Mini Welcome BACK, and really we have no idea if Jack plans on running sportsman or crate at this time, but will know soon what is happening there.

Welcome back #M4 of the "Purple People Eater" Winford Minix, who races like he stoled it

I filmed at West Georgia Speedway in years past and have seen some of the greatest dirt track races, and then again I have seen some real run away races. The track as I call it known as “The Burgh” has a really Historic race feel, and Jack Mills plans on giving this sleeping giant some energy again, and let everyone know what real dirt track racing is about.

Children learn to change racing tires and make sure the lug nuts are on tight before they learn their ABC's , it's all apart of Dirt Track Racing Southern Style.

Being Open on Friday night will not interfere with the races at New Senoia Raceway at all in any way, in fact it will give drivers a chance to win at West Georgia Speedway on Friday nights and Win at New Senoia Raceway on Saturday nights. So to be honest it’s a WIN, WIN, all around situation.

One thing for sure is Jack Mills and his fine staff will be giving the racing fans just what that have been asking for, racing at its best every Friday night.


So many of the staff are willing and eager to come back at a pay cut, just to be part of this winning track, and we all have faith and trust that West Georgia Speedway will rise from the ashes of the dump back to the top, a place where it should have been years ago.

Everything is point to the good features of this track, and drivers in every class know that the track is superb. It was run wrong for years but now we have the right BLOOD in Mills and his staff working and this will become the premier race track in Georgia.

One thing for sure is West Georgia Speedway takes no prisoners, it is historic, and if the walls could talk what the heck would we be hearing, and how many times has a driver went on to win there, and become a hero.

Drivers like Frank Long, Allen Brewster, and so many modified mini drivers, then those Hobby car drivers
Take B-Cadets and you had Jeff Carter, Marcus Caswell, and any of the Bright’s, the list goes on and on and on.

Old Faithful, Rockie Johnson is always racing when he can.

Then bring on those faithful pure mini cars, like Rocky Johnson, Matt Black, Dusty Jones, Stephen Hill, and Bo Chambers and you had a field and more. I know I am leaving out lots of names of drivers and you have to forgive me because on May 8th I turned 61 years old and this old brain does not work as good as it once did.

If the Sportsman come back, we could see Scott Duffy, Jason Williams, and who knows maybe Rucker Orr, he may show then again he likes Senoia Raceway so that could give the wins to other premier drivers.

I am sure we will see the street stocks return, and if that is the case we could see #87 of Pappy Powell, plus #4 of Michael Nelms. Plus more, but my filming stops after the Sportsman race because of no sales to Bomber cars ever. NO need to waste my time or film, it just business not personal.

Please come by West Georgia Speedway Friday May 13th 2011 and lets all talk to the new owner Jack Mills, and if you have a problem AIR it out before the season starts because once the rules are set that is the way the track will be run, no driver becomes special or has special treatment in any way.

READ THE ABOVE STATEMENT REGARDING PAY OUTS.


One thing for sure is YOU WILL GET PAID the correct amount at the end of the race night and there will be NO CUTS in pay. Jack and his staff are going by New Senoia Raceways PAY, so what you get at Senoia is yours also.

As a writer and someone that has lost his wife I am asking you to give Jack Mills and West Georgia Speedway a chance to come back from the ashes and put this “Historic” track back on the map again.



You will also hear commercials regarding the track on a local radio station, which has NEVER been done before.

The track is ready, now all we need is the fans and drivers to come back and give West Georgia a chance to come back to real racing action.

Mark taking care of the concession stand, you will again be provided with the best food in Georgia at any race track.

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read this BLOG regarding West Georgia Speedway and I see so much great happening there it is amazing.

Many Thanks to everyone,

To everyone I want to thank you from my heart because when I lost my wife on April 8th, 2011 she also backed me in everything I wanted to do. There were so many times I hated to leave her at home on Saturday nights to film, but she knew the money was put back to pay her doctor’s visits and everything else the money I earned also bought food to take care of her, so every time you purchased a DVD you were in fact helping her. Now I am using every dollar I get to pay off the funeral bill and make sure that is all taken care of.

She always wanted to come to the races one night, but was so afraid because of her health, now she is with me at all times as I am wearing her wedding band on my small finger, as a reminder of how good she was to me in every way. Someone told me she thought she was burden on me, and all I have to say to that is my wife was never a burden she was glory to be around and loved every driver and prayed for each and every one of you. She may not have attended West Georgia Speedway or New Senoia Raceway but let me inform you she watched every race when I would come home and edit the film to DVD.

And when a driver would come by the house like Mark Knight, Joe Hillman, Mark Sims, or even Rucker Orr’s dad it was a blessing to her in every way. She had a smile from ear to ear, and had all the praises for you all. I personally THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Again Many Thanks and Lets get West Georgia Speedway back to number 1 in West Georgia.
