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.
