"JUST A SHORT TRACK WIN AWAY"
WHO SAY’S HIS NAME IS “WALDO”?
Racing can get interesting, but when you have pure mini drivers you never know what will happen.
Take a friend of mine, a racing friend, his name is MIKE SPENCER, but it seems a lon
g time ago he and his car ran into the wall at West Georgia Speedway, so pure mini drivers decided to call him “WALDO”.
Now all is fair in racing, and “Waldo” just does not fit Mike as a name, sure he may not be the best of drivers but half the pure mini class drivers are not the best.
There are some wannabe racers, who try and be superstars on the old 3/8th mile track in Whitesburg, Ga. Known as “The Burg”.
West Georgia Speedway has been a car killer in the past, and is not a track that is easy to be tamed.

Check the small damage on Joe Spencers J17 car, I mean he has one of the cleanest cars and yet he gets upset if it gets rubbed, well rubbing is racing, so I hope he can do better this year.
Drivers come from all over to try and win at the “Burg” but half of them go home with a broken down car, and their feelings hurt.
Then you have drivers like Mike Spencer, who’s brother is Joe Spencer, who runs in the pure mini class when he races at West Georgia Speedway, in his famous J17.
Joe and Mike are racers and as a matter of fact, Mike is moving up the ladder into the Modified Mini class, and will be racing at times against, Richard Bagby, maybe Frank Long, and who knows who else.
His car will have the #7 on the side, and it will be a Ford, no Chevrolet.
When drivers come to West Georgia Speedway to race they come to win, and I know from filming some of the most exciting races that there is always action in every feature.
Sammy Duke, has changed the program around so you never know what will happen, but we do know in February 2010 he will begin holding practices for drivers to get their cars in shape for the season which will start in March 2010.
No matter what kind of these giants of racing get into they will put on a heck of a racing show.

sJoe, and Mike Spencer, but who is WALDO?
NO it is not this little man, he just wants to race like his father, Mike . He is really Mikes #1 racing fan. Really that is Mike Spencers son, and pure out buddy.
I hope to watch Mike and Joe again race but who knows what will happen, maybe they will return to West Georgia Speedway then again from all I have heard they are headed to Senoia to race and maybe Little River Speedway, since Wren Goodman is putting on a big weekend show for his fans and drivers.
More on that later, need to take off my jet is double parked and I need to move it before I get another ticket.
Thanks to everyone,
