With the official opener on April 2, 2011 and that is when the men can again go and "Play in the Clay".
Just off HWY 16 you can't miss the tracks huge sight that means what it says "The Fastest 3/8 Oval DIRT Track in Georgia.
This is the place to bring your families on Saturday nights for some great food clean facilities and great racing action.
The cars take shape for the 2011 racing season at Billy Bright Sr. shop, where every day is a real work day, hands on by everyone that wants his help.
From bare nuts and bolts and every screw, Billy Bright Sr. forms the car that will make him a winner, and when he is not doing that he is building the car for his son Jr.
Just those few words alone between car and car builder can make so much of a difference, as Billy Bright Sr. pours his heart out into this finely tuned racing machine.
Piece by piece inch by inch a new race car is built, this is a special machine that has to protect the driver from being hurt in any way. Every crew member is special, because building a race car that is a winner takes all the concentration that every member has.
The crews make sure that ever bolt is tight and every screw in place, one broken part means a time to load up and go home and that is not fun.
Billy Bright Sr. is returning to the days of glory at New Senoia Raceway, at his shop this photo was captured his dream of winning against his son Billy Bright Jr.
Here they are building piece by piece the car that will prove to be a winner, just like in the film "Days of Thunder" they have to talk to every piece making sure they know what part they will play in winning the races.
What do drivers and car builders do when it is off season, and they want that need for speed, well witness below, Steven Simpson battling Billy Bright Jr at of all thing a arcade.
Yes these two take time off away from the stress of the 3/8th Oval track at Senoia Raceway to have fun and enjoy laughing and letting Billy Jr show Steven how to hold the car as they go into the curves.

What Billy Bright Jr does not know is that Steven Simpson can go faster in a straight line as proved in this photo of his yellow Vega tearing down the line at this drag race.
Taking time off at a bowling alley proves that the Brights are ordinary people, good and kind just have a hunger to win races and that's what it takes to be the best of the best.
But when it's time to work Billy Bright Jr is down on his knee's a great place to be as he humbles himself for the LORD, he is also dreaming the dreams of so many winning drivers from every State.
Here is a look at the Bad Boy Vega, of Steven Simpson, more photos coming of this bad boy.
To me this says it all on the back of Stevens Vega drag car, "With GOD you can't lose".
So true....oh so true.
Check out just one of Steven Simpson's drag racing engines, this one is called "The Heart breaker" also in his collection is "Lu Lu" and "Granny" with one he calls BAD BOY.
These are just part of Steven Simpons play toys, fast is something he does best, but with the help of Billy Bright Sr and Jr, we may see him in a B-Cadet car racing against Sr, Jr and Tim Bright Jr. so the Brights will be racing with fans standing. 
When it's all said and done, these cars have to be built, and they are built with the care and love of nothing else.
Winning is the "The Brights" do best, and having the best cars helps when they are racing.
One thing for sure is everyone that is around the Brights have a job, and each job is done with the best of care, they take PRIDE in all their work no matter how small, they are doing their best and that is all someone asks is "Their Best".
When the work is over, then it is time to relax like this cutie and have a cold one, in her case this fudge bar hits the spot. Nothing like good Friends, family and good food.
Her shirt says it all "this is what CUTE looks like"

Dear Racers, Little River Speedway will open gates March 12, 2011 at 2 p.m- practice at 4 p.m. till 8 p.m.. There has been a few changes in 2011 to class rules and regulations. First of all the tires, there is a huge misunderstanding and rumors to why I changed tire rules. I want to personally explain the decisions to why I did it!
This was the hardest decision I had to make for one, Jeff Treece with American Race Tires is someone I consider a close friend that I speak with at least once a week if not more!
To go with Hoosiers this year was a business decision and non-other.
By having tire rules specifying what tires a class can run takes out all the guess work for the racer himself!
The racers no longer have to worry about a brand or compound being faster than what they have on!
Also by all classes on same tires, the classes can purchase new tires and resale the used to another competitor for half price.
From a promoters standpoint with all surrounding tracks on Hoosiers its hard to pick up new racers without having the same rules.
It also takes the headache out of selling, if open tire rule this person has to have thousands of dollars tied up in a nickel and dime company.
He also can have a choice of multiple sizes to custom your race car!
Also I've had numerous phone calls claiming Brandon and Little River Speedway is getting a kickback from tires, this claim couldn't be more wrong. We don't sell enough tires period to even get the slightest kick back. Larger tracks that sell 100 plus tires a week I'm sure get something but we don't sell 100 all year!If you have any questions about tires or anything give me a call Ill try my best to help you!
