New Senoia Raceway Saturday July 30, 2011

"2 REASON TO MAKE SURE YOUR ARE AT NEW SENOIA RACEWAY"

First fans will be treated to some of the best racing in the south by some of the best dirt track drivers from Georgia to Alabama.

Hobby car featuring #07 Clifton "Hog Head" Moran who is the points leader and also will be going for another win, can he do it or will some one else take the win?

The B-Cadet race will be "Bright less" no pun intended, as the Brights will be racing at another track in Georgia. So fans will not see the Orange a White cars. Remember they will be handing their points to drivers that were in 4Th and 5Th place with everyone moving up. Thus making sure #3 Jeff Carter opens up a bigger lead in the points standing.nd White cars that are driven by Billy Bright Sr. or Billy Bright Jr. this also remains a big item because they will be losing their points lead .

The Crate car race will again show some outstanding drivers and we are wondering if Tod Darda can continue his winning feats. I am sure he will be challenged and that is all the fans ask for.

When the Pure Mini feature begins we are wondering if #54 Bo Chambers can hold off #4 Dusty Jones, or #13 Gary Parker, news is that #00 Matt Black will be racing elsewhere, which is sad.

When the Limited Late Models come onto the track we all know that the 25 laps will be fast. Drivers like #73 Racing Jason Williams could make a repeat, but then I will never count out #9 Shane Fulcher, or Scott Duffy, or any driver in the hot class of racers.

Remember all the best food is available to every fan, so don't stop at your local fast food place when Senoia is known for some great food and cool drinks. Everyone working with the food are pro's and aim to please you.

Remember that Staff is always willing to help you in any of your needs, meet my friend John always willing to help and just have that special smile at the track.

THEN ARE YOU READY TO BE THRILLED LIKE NEVER BEFORE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE NIGHT , NEW SENOIA RACEWAY WILL HAVE THE 1ST EVER

"WATERLESS BOAT RACE" I know that you will see some of the most outstanding crazy things happenings, and if you like destruction from turn one to turn 4 you have not seen anything like you will witness.....boats pulled by cars and the last boat still in tack or half way WINS.

Remember NO TRAILERS, NO WATER Just massive carnage.

So there are the 2 BIG reasons to be at New Senoia Raceway, and bring the family to this outstanding event.

Many Thanks to all and remember DVD's of all the features will be available for $25.oo and remember this weekend will also include in the video the "Waterless Boat Race" so make sure you please get in touch with me for your copy. Call me at 770-361-3019 just ask for Tino.

See you at the Races this weekend, and bring your friends and family and kin folks,

Thanks Tino Patti

Senoia July 23, 2011 WOW

Tim Moses and his wife Amey welcome

all race fans to New Senoia Raceway every Saturday

night

Fans come ready to see some

great racing

action from turn 1 to turn 4 there is

never a dull moment at Senoia.

Elderly fan comes to relax and unwind watching the men race at Senoia Raceway.

Good food goes great at New Senoia Raceway

Drivers from every where converge on New Senoia Raceway to make sure they get in for some of the best dirt track racing in the South.

What can you say but the action was fast and furious, and also had some heated moments that cost Billy Bright Sr. from being in the big 30 lap B-Cadet race, a race with $600 at stake plus a trophy that would have stood taller that Billy Sr. but during the heat races caused Billy Bright Sr. and Brandon Pijenburg in his red #83 played bang bang with #B7 off the Senior Bright.

According to officials Sr. had been

warned regarding rough driving, and he not only was having it out but took it out on #83 while in of all places the pit area where innocent people are walking

and could have been hurt. So the man that runs the show Tim Moses gave Billy Sr. the toss and told him he would not drive in the big race, and that is when the folks of the B7 cars became in raged.

to be.So enraged were that that they yelled for Tim Bright who was sitting i

n the stands to come down and drive the B-cadet car of Billy Sr. in the huge race. Tim is a outstanding Crate car driver but he has had some bad luck, so sitting in the stands was not where he wanted
Tim Bright was not expected to drive prior

to the race was always willing to give me a great chance to take his photo, if you did not know Tim was just married to a real beauty, her name is Meghan Bright take a look at her.

Meet Tim Brights wife, Meghan Bright her smile is catching













There has been some bad blood between the Carters and Brights but the bad blood spilled over to a great humble driver, #47 Mark Knight, who was infuriated with Jeff Carter, both seemed to really have things out for each other.

The B-Cadet race was the race that everyone was there to see and there

were some big name drivers for this event, from of course the Brights, Carters, to Mark Knight plus so many others even Michael Cesare in his famous #45 was there.

Prior to the race, Michael Cesare comes

in with his famous smile, a driver who just wants to finish a race, something he dreams of is taking a "Checkered Flag" but that is in the distance but it will come and I hope I am there to see it.

Watch Michael Cesare take this famous hot lap wreck, wow, caught it all click , click, click...and them BAM for Michael....not good.

Again Michael was binding his time running close to the back but his car was running better and better ever lap, he was gaining

and would have finished the race except that near the end of the B-Cadet race near lap 27 Tim Bright who was driving Billy Bright Sr's. car spun coming out of turn 4 and was sitting in the middle of the track , the sad thing was the car following him was Michael Cesare and yes it was true Michael had nowhere to go, if he went to low he would have hit the inside wall. if he went high he would have hit Tim Bright broadside, so he choose to dive low and that is when half of his car was demolished as seen on the video, but the best news was that Michael was fine, maybe disgusted but he walked away. Tim Bright also was fine and walked away from this crash.

This summed up, the night for Michael Cesare, you know next time he will save the front and damage the rear or sides.....We are waiting for this driver's first big win.

"BILLY BRIGHT JR. STRIPPED OF HIS FEATURE WIN"

But the real story was the battle up front as Billy Bright Jr was leading all the way all 30 laps and was challenged by #83 of Brandon Pijenburg who was showing he had the car to pass and maybe capture the win. Then the unthinkable happened to Brandon, nearing the 30 lap mark he was out of tear offs for his visor and he literaly had to pull it up and drive with it up, which is not the best thing

to do. What makes it worse he took the waving of the white flag for the checkered flag and after the flag stand backed down and let off the gas, that's when his car drifted back slowly, letting #31 Blake Griffin, and #47 Mark Knight to blow by him. What a mistake he could have finished 2nd to Billy Bright Jr. but that was not going to happen and what makes it worse is that when Billy Bright Jr crossed the line and took the checkered flag we were waiting for a very happy Billy Bright Jr to jump out of the car to get his photo taken and hear a great interview, instead we heard him say "How many Bright fans are here?" "If you want to see

us race again be at West Georgia Speedway next Saturday Night". That's what infuriated Tim Moses and some of the fans that of all things instead of cheering for Billy where booing loudly. Then to top things off, when the car was brought into the pit area, Billy Bright Jr was found to be running illegal and he was "Disqualified" taking the trophy and cash away, from him and #31 B

lake Griffin became the winner with the 2nd place car being #47 Mark Knight the night was long but it was over, and I truly believe we have seen the last of the Brights at Senoia Raceway, if what they say is true, then they will keep their word and head to West Georgia Speedway next weekend. What will racing be like without the Brights? Does any one know?

Winning #31 Blake Griffin

2nd place #47 Mark Knight

3rd place #83 Brandon Pijenburg

We do know that racing will go on as expected, less the Brights and t

here presence at the track. Also Billy Sr and Billy Jr will be giving u

p their points lead.

To me it is almost like giving the 4th or 5th place cars to move up and catch Jeff Carter who has the points lead.

Remember there was other racing action on this night that was rain free for a change, the Hobby race was run by the best and the winner was #07 Clifton "Hog Head" Moran, who drove his #07 like he has always drove, he is a pure winner.

One driver that had a bad night right after the green flag dropped was #K1 a car that was supposed to be driven by a true legend Kip Sanfill, but instead in the drivers seat was all American Jimmy "All American" Appleby but when a tie rod broke coming down the front steech all he could do is hang on for the ride straight into the wall at New Senoia Raceway, lucky for Jimmy he walked away fine and that shows how much these cars can take. Now the big question will be willing to drive the #K1 car again, are did this shake him up.

The order of finish for the Hobby class race was:

1 #07 Clifton Moran

2 #33 Rusty Johnson

3 #81 Houston Hachett

The Pure Mini's cars ran 2nd and that changed up the order of running,

in the race #4 Dusty Jones was among the group, and he was a challenger until something let go in his car and he backed down and everyone went around him.

Later it was known that Jones who was driving and heading to the front cut a tire, and that messed his night up.

The show was put on by Bo Chambers with challenges by Lonnie Patterson and Gary Parker, but know one was catching Chambers as he took the 15 lap race in style. Bo has been a winner at Senoia raceway and knows how and what it takes to win.

Order of finish was as follows:

1) #54 Bo Chambers

2) Lonnie Patterson
3) #13 Gary Parker


All in all the Pure Mini drivers don't come to play they come to put on a

show, and they always do.

The next feature was the Limited Late Model race, that would be run early do to the 30 lap feature with the B-Cadet boys.

So 25 laps of pure Late model racing would bring out the best, like #73 "Racing Jason" Williams who would be chased by points leader #11 Lavon Sparks, a

nd racing in 3rd place and putting on a show was #54 of legendary Mike Head.

Williams has been on a winning streak, and he does not take 2nd place well

.

We did miss drivers like #9 Shane Fulcher and hope he returns this Saturday to the bank track of New Senoia raceway. One special driver that I would like to welcome back to Senoia raceway was #00 Steven Endicott who has always been a fan favorite.

Endicott's night would be cut short after a spin on the back stretch that would put him out of the race for the night.The Limited Late Model finish ended:

1) #73 Racing Jason Williams
2) #11 Lavon Sparks
3) #54 Mike Head

4) Scott Duffy not driving his #25 car.

Then it was B-Cadet time and we all know that story so I won't rehash it.

On the pole was #3 Jeff Carter and next to him was #B7 jr of Billy Bright Jr.

plus #31 of Blake Griffin and #47 of Mark Knight plus #83 of Brandon Pijenburg plus driving for Billy Bright Sr. was Tim Bright.

And who could forget #45 of "Ricky Bobby" fame Michael Cesare.

But like I said the order of finish was changed when Billy Bright Jr was found to be illeagal and was "Disqualified".

So the Winner was :

1) #31 Blake Griffin

2) #47 Mark Knight

3) #83 Brandon Pinjenburg

4) Corey Payton a young 15 year old.

The last race of the night was the Crate car race and again #91 Todd Darda would prove he had the car that the one to beat, and no one could. Not even #17 Richie Williams who comes from a long line of racing champions.

Also racing was Trey White who raced on Senoia Speedway when it was asphalt.

But the order of the Crate finish was :

Winning #91 Todd Darda

2) #17 Richie Williams


3) #16 Trey White

The night of racing was over and it was well before 12 midnight, so fans were happy as well as some drivers, everyone was happy except the Brights.

To everyone I want to say THANK YOU for being so kind to me as I deal wi

th the greif of loosing my wife, I know she would have wanted me to continue to film and meet some of the best drivers in motor sports.

PLEASE BE AT NEW SENOIA RACEWAY NEXT WEEKEND FOR THE END OF THE NIGHT "WATERLESS BOAT RACE" A TRUE DEMOLITION OF BOATS AND CARS.

Thanks to everyone again and remember all DVD's are $25.00 so pick one up call me and let me know and I will have yours ready for you. Remeber each DVD is filled with feature races, and wrecks.

Thank You,

New Senoia Raceway Dog Days

OLD FRIENDS I AM BACK WISH ME WELL

My Canon GL-2 is ready to capture all the winning drivers and every bit of action all over the track at New Senoia Raceway this Saturday Night , bring your best cars because I will be there with full gear.

All Featured or captured on DVD's and are available the next weekend, all the hits bangs and passes and crashes are all captured for you to re watch even in the off season.


Getting over losing my wife has been hard, so I had to take a few days off, including a weekend to try and clear my head, but now I am returning to meet my friends who I love and care for, my race fans, and drivers and crews.

One thing I know I love is my friends, who are fans of dirt track racing, plus every driver in every class, those that drive and those that keep the cars running.

Some of these people have stood beside me in my loss, and every day is hard but getting back to filming the races at New Senoia Raceway has been hard, but GOD knows my wife would have wanted me to continue. Please except my apologize for missing 2 weekends in a row, but some times you have to deal with grief, and I chose to stay home and re felt on things that could have been.

B-CADET STANDING as of 7/21/11

Pos
Driver Name & Car Number
Total Pts
1 Jeff Carter #3 1173
2 Billy Bright, Sr. #B7 1054
3 Billy Bright, Jr. #B7jr 1017
4 Corey Payton #24c 947
5 Marcus Caswell #17 780
6 Brand Lewis #75 761

This weekend the B-Cadet races will go 30 laps and have extra money on the line, now who can win this big race?. Can Billy Bright Sr, trailing in points to Jeff Carter win, or will Billy Bright Jr. suprise everyone and go through the field driving like only Jr knows how by , passing them all and winning the unexpected race. One thing for sure the "Best of the Best" will be racing at Senoia Raceway for this 30 lap B-Cadet race with everything including bragging rights on the line.

Will points leader Jeff Carter take this 30 lap win, or will his rival in 2nd place in the points lead Billy Bright Sr. choose to make a show of this race.

Or will Michael Cesare #45 in his "Ricky Bobby" B-Cadet car make a outstanding run and win one of this biggest races at New Senoia Raceway?


Just keep your eye on the #45 car, and see what he can do, he will have to battle to the front and that is going to take everything Michael knows how to do, but he is a born winner.

Don't worry Senoia Raceway also features the exciting Hobby car race featuring the points leader #07 Clifton "Hog Head" Moran who has the lead over Rusty Johnson, one of the big dogs in racing. Missing from the action will be #41 Scott Sherrer, who was the man that no one could beat, until this season now he is gun shy?.

Also maybe coming to Senoia this weekend after a long absence is #K1 of Douglasville fame Kip Stanfill. Kip has been missing racing and his car is about back to hit the dirt and if everything works out he will again show his driving style that made him a legend at 7 Flags Speedway the once open and racing capital of Douglasville Georgia.

The Hobby races are always a blast more so when you have drivers like Rusty Johnson, and Hackett and his wild crew, and so many other drivers. If you want action the Hobby race is your cup of tea....or java, or whatever floats your boat.

When its time for the Crate cars to line up, watch out for the new kid on the block, #18 Magic Matt Dooley, the newest up and coming racer on the track. Dooley just 15 can handle a crate car and battle with some of the verterans like no other driver. What will he do next?

The Late Model feature has the Points leader as Lavon Sparks, who is a charger and make no mistake 2nd place is not where he wants to be at the end of a 25 lap race.

Second in the standings in points is #73 Jason Williams

LATE MODEL POINTS AS OF 7/21/11

Pos Driver Name & Car Number
Total Pts

1 Lavon Sparks #11 1161
2 Jason Williams #73 1147
3 Shane Fulcher #9 1140
4 Glenn Morris #27 997
5 Scott Duffey #25 492

Some of the best drivers come to New Senoia Raceway, because this is where the racing is the best.

Ricky Bobby to the rescue or is it?

A TEAM THAT CAN'T BE BROKEN

Welcome to the world of “Ricky Bobby” or Michael Cesare

How does a wild man from NY live in Georgia, and get to meet with some of the craziest people in the world.

If you have not met Michael Cesare driver and co-owner of B-Cadet car #45 you are missing some real fun.

Driving in the B-Cadet series is a task in itself, meeting drivers is another thing. Some drivers are great and up front with you others are what I call behind your back snakes.
All together most drivers are super and fun to be around, but Michael Cesare is most outstanding.
Anyone that loves Harley's, Good Looking Babes, and Corvettes can’t be all bad at all.
He does have one habit that is kind of crazy and that is being a Minnesota Viking Fan and living in Georgia.
Now he did explain that he grew up in New York, and the Vikings were the winning team so he hooked up with them, as I called them for years and years “The Purple People Eaters” and when I watched them play they played in “COLD WEATHER” with a coach which had a face of steel and that was the great Bud Grant. Teams hated to go into Minnesota because of the crazy cold weather. Then again they hated to play them because of their defense, which would eat people alive.

Why build him up I am NOT and there is no need because once he gets the hang of driving at New Senoia Raceway you will see drastic changes, now he is learning and learning can be a pain. I mean a bumper here a quarter panel there and engine to let go, or maybe a cut down tire. All cost cash but that is what racing is all about, spending cash for a winning car, and loading that winning car back on the trailer in one piece and not in several chunks is priceless.

Then again, he loves Motorcycles, and anyone that rides a chopper is not bad at all, most bikers I know are the best of friends, and that is a plus for Michael even when he cruises the highways of Georgia with his Minnesota logo on the side of his bike.

Michael explained that he is a Charger, Cuda car fan, but his 1969 corvette is a great ride and for sale to the right buyer.
Place a model in front of it and it makes the car look twice as good, makes me want to purchase one just to have sitting around. Since I am single now, who knows who I can find for a date, more so with a “Vette”?

If it is fun you are looking for then hang out with Michael he is a class act. Just don’t run into his car intentionally that cost cash and makes people mad.

Now if you are ready to watch him race, you can see the new and improved “Ricky Bobby” next weekend at New Senoia Raceway in Senoia Georgia, just look for the car that will be trailing everyone in the B-Cadet series, he will be making his move soon to the front, so as long as he keeps his car in one piece he can and will be a force to be reckoned with.
Make sure you look for car #45 you can’t miss it, and if you get a chance to meet him make sure you say hello to this up and coming star driver. Maybe not this season, but he will be a veteran next year and battle with the best of the B-Cadet drivers.

Fun can be found anywhere and at in place in the World, and Michael seems to have the energy to hang with all kinds of folks. Some folks just have it made in life.

Who can get a autograph from a member of KISS, only Michael Cesare, wow!

Here is the way to beat Michael Cesare when racing him, make sure he has not eaten some of the family's food....he works better when well fed.

Thanks for reading this about someone I have no idea is except that he is a class act of a person,

I have not started the Michael Cesear fan club, but if he continues to drive and improve as good as he will in future races we may just have to start that club.

Have a blessed day and a great 4th of July, 2011,,,, thanks for everything,,
