THESE ARE VETERANS OF DIRT TRACK "WARS"

Richard Bagby known as "KING" at Whitesburg, talks with veteran driver in Pure Pony, Rocky Johnson, who has been faithful to West Georgia Speedway.

Then the youngest and newest Modified Mini Driver, with a Legend for a Father, Landon Bagby

Lamar Haygood slips into his racing shoes to be ready for practice with his super fast late model that he will be running at "The Bama Bash", or better "The Ice Bowl".

Richard in this photo, you can tell shows all the Love and Pride for his young racing son. Landon Bagby who is only 13 but drives like a veteran and when you have a famous father that maybe that all it takes..

His Eyes, tell the whole story, meet Late Model driver, Lamar Haygood, who has one thing on his mind when he charges onto a racetrack and that is "Winning", His Eyes tell you the story of a real warrior.

Lamar, "Playing in the DIRT", his famous #17 slides around the "Burg", and he seems to have no trouble at all.

Mashing the gas, Haygood fires down the backstrech of West Georgia Speedway, a man on a mission.

Signs of WARS are on the sides of Haygoods car, and it proves he has been dancing with the big guys, damages like this shows he is not afraid of a war in a race, shove him he will shove back.


Every great driver needs a crew, and here TIM, stands beside Lamars cars and makes sure they are on the right page as for as the car setup, faithful old TIM is someone that has been with Lamar for years.

FLAT OUT, GETTING IT, CHECK OUT THE DUST FLYING BEHIND, LAMAR'S CAR AS HE COMES OUT OF 4 AND HEADS TO THE CHECKED FLAG. To bad this was only Practice, but someone will be beat by Haygood in this upcomming season of 2010.

Now here is a SHOT of a lifetime, Richard has just climbed out Lamars late Model and put on a show in front of his young Son, Landon Bagby.

Filled with Joy and amazement, Richard climbs out in excitement and his son Landon, strolls by him sucking on a sucker, almost saying "Not bad for a Old man"

Richard, was filled with POWER after taking that spin around the old Burg, rememeber Richard has been and always will be a CLASS Driver and a Proven Winner, in every type of car.

He put on many super shows in the sportsman feature between Shane Clanton at the late great 7 Flags Speedway.

Some I still have on Vidoe, because I was filming these Wars!

Racing belongs to CLASS drivers like Richard Bagby and Lamar Haygood, veterans of the wars on DIRT.

To see the best drivers you have to know the best drivers, and Bagby and Hayood are at the top of the pole in racing.
