"What'cha say?, oh my it's Hump Day"
Well the middle of the week, and I know that the drivers of the winning cars are making sure that every thing is ready for another exciting night of racing down at the home track, West Georgia Speedway.
Some of the drivers that won last week, are not touching their cars, except for maybe washing them down. One of those driver's who won and took his first checkered flag of the year in this 2009 season, is hobby car winner #3 Jeff Carter. He told me he was going to wash the car, and leave it the way it was set up, because Saturday Night he and #92 of Joe Hillman put on a show and a half. Mixing it up was also Jason Causey and Ritchie Taylor. Of all the hobby cars Taylor in the #B1 got the worst part as a wheel came off and as he came to a sudden stop along the inside wall, his tire kept on rolling around toward the backstretch. I know when these two meet up again, we can be sure to catch some real racing action. One thing is for sure "Super" Joe Hillman has been around a race track a time or two, and finishing 2nd is not what he wants, he has always been a winner, but he has also proved that he has class, and will not take someone out of a race just for his advantage, if he can pass you "He Will".
Jeff Carter is the same kind of driver, he will bend a little but don't push the big man, that's why we all call him "The Magic Man".
Stand back because I am sure Jason Causey in his #47 is not happy and by this weekend he will be ready to rumble with those other drivers.
So if you want to see some real Hobby car action make sure you are at the "Burg" this Saturday Night.
Another class that is showing some real signs of excitment, is the Modified Mini class, where #6 Richard Bagby has now won 4 in a row, and that is something amazing when you have drivers like #07 of Frank Long, the #9R of Evan Lancaster, plus the #19 of Chris Upton, plus others chasing him down.
One thing is for sure when Richard is at the track, you never know what will happen, so far he has his #6 Mustang dialed in and all the bolts and screws tightened and he is on a mission.
Has anyone every thought maybe Richard has found out about the track and knows where he can and can't run his car to win. Sometimes it takes drivers years, but Richard is a veteran of racing wars and if he can figure it out, he will and once he does he can and is a proven winner at almost all the tracks.
You have to understand, "West Georgia Speedway", is not just a race track it is known as "The Burg" and I can be honest in saying this that not only does the driver take a beating so does the car he is in, so if you win, you have beating both the other drivers, and the track itself.
I really believe driver Frank Long will be back, but not to finish in 2nd place he will be gunning for the win, and take it away from Richard Bagby.
We all will have to wait and see what happens Saturday Night when those small Modified Mini cars take the track and start their feature.
If you can "BE THERE, AND BRING SOME FRIENDS".
Hey how many of you think #91 of Lee Owensby will finish in 1st place instead of 2nd place, or do you think the #12 of Gary Brand, in the wild Enduro class will take another victory?.
Those Enduro cars are a real show and fans really enjoy watching these men put on a great show. I just wonder how much longer #32 "SUNSHINE" Terry Finnell will be out and not racing in this class?.
This weekend we will see the last of Crate Car driver #17 Lamar Haygood as he will go on to race his Late Model car at different tracks around this State
as well are out of State. One thing is for sure when Lamar races you know he is there, and can and will move you if you are in his way. He finished in 3rd place Saturday Night April 11, 2009 because he went high on the last lap, and #8 car Michael Keener passed him on the low side to finish 2nd. Winning the race was the ever popular and fan favorite #16 Tony Kemp.
So if you can drag your wife or your husband or your family members out of the house make sure they are there to see some of the most exciting Crate Car racing in the South, once they get the taste of racing dirt style they will always come back every time the gates are opened.
Well we all know that #99 Rucker Orr will be defending his title, as he finished in 1st place Saturday night leaving #G1 of Glenn McWaters, in what you can really call the dirt, as Glenn was racing he was tearing off the tear-offs, and he came down to number 9 and that is all that he had on his helmet, and you know you can't stop and get a refill, so he was driving more or less blind. Glenn had a strong car, but I don't think he could muscle his way around Rucker Orr, and in 3rd place was #13 Roger Cassell, who was running as hard as he could but he was no match for Orr or McWaters.
If you can please be there this weekend as the weather is warming up and so is the racing action. When you think about it everything is getting better and better at West Georgia Speedway, including the food and fans. Sammy Duke is making sure the track is in better shape and that means a lot to each and every driver that takes on the track that is to hard to tame, "The Burg".
See you at the track,
