SENOIA SPEEDWAY

"Back TO DIRT", IN THIS 2010 RACING SEASON!

Yes it's Dirt over the Asphalt, why dig up a good track when you can just dump loads of dirt on top and make it a superior racing facility.
Why tear up the asphalt when you never know you may want to race short track races again.

What can you say, except "When is the first race?"

Jack Mills, with Tony Moses and Tim Moses have brought Senoia back to life after years and years of rumor, that the track would return to DIRT. Remember they were only rumors, and some drivers were wishing, well maybe their wishes have come true.

I know in 2000 when I was filming there, it was hot and the asphalt made it worse. Plus such a long drive for me not to see any pay out. I mean, if you were looking for racing, Asplalt was not the place to see it at. Remember I had worked a few years prior to Senoia at 7 Flags Speedway where racing was racing, and I mean on the dirt. Lots of great drivers won at this wonderful old speedway. Drivers like Shane Clanton, Richard Bagby, Lamar Haygood, Little Joe Armstead, Frank Long, Joe Hillman, and so many more great drivers some who still drive today.

How many times have we heard how great it would be to have Senoia back like it was in those glory years and filled with dirt, where racing is racing. No more asphalt, follow me around and around and around, with the dirt back on the track you will see some of the greatest racing on Dirt.

Promoter Jack Mills has rules that will be followed are you will not race, this will be a no nonsence race track payout will be on the level, and cars will be checked and everything better be legal.

Lots of time and money has been invested in this project that looks to put some of the smaller tracks out of business, like West Georgia Speedway, where driving is a hazard. One thing for sure at West Georgia Speedway or "The Burg" as I call it, if you can win there you can win on any track.

The Burg is known to take no prisoners, and when drivers come and race there they know they are in for a battle. But taking that checkered flag is a prize in itself, because if you have won on this track you have won it all.

To find out more about Senoia Speedway just click the link and take a look yourself.

http://www.newsenoiaraceway.com/

How many drivers will try and win at Senoia, on the dirt?, who will be the first? and Will it be the same as in the years past at racing there?.

All I can say is good luck Jack and Tony and Tim, because you will need it, but remember you are bringing back some real history and that is a great thing.

The amazing Sammy Duke, who can pull wreck cars off the track with his loyal Ford F150 tractor than any NASCAR race, Sammy has no time for idleness.

That brings me back to the track that has been called to hard to tame, and that is the one I call "The Burg". West Georgia Speedway has been in excistence since 1992 or before. The man at the helm of this ship, is still Sammy Duke, one of the South's legends of his own kind.

When driver came to West Georgia Speedway they knew how Sammy was, and some drivers got angry with this old man, and would leave and never return. One thing you have to say Sammy never put on a bad show for the fans. What seems like ages ago when the famous 7 Flags Speedway closed down in Douglasville, Georgia, it was either race at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock Georgia or Rome Georgia or maybe take those long drives to Alabama for some racing at East Alabama Speedway. Most drivers who wanted to remain racing went to West Georgia Speedway, where there they put on a show. Sammy seemed to have things working his way, but you have to move on when progress approachs, and if you don't the good times will pass you by.

For pure pounding side by side racing, and all hell breaking loose, "The Burg" was the place to watch a race. Some of the wildest and fastest drivers came and raced and gave their cars everything they had in them. Some of the wildest races I have filmed, I mean last lap nail biters, also crashes where drivers would get out of their wrecked cars, and howl at the moon!.

Then you had some of the really crazy races like the imortal "Fog Bowl", a race that everyone either pulled over or drove like he had some great sence and that would be Alabama's own pride and joy, Ryan Law.

West Georgia Speedway has seen some action, I mean, if you wanted to see some rough house driving, West Georgia was the place to be on a Saturday night, some drivers can't take losing and it shows.






Then you have some of the classist drivers around, who win, take the money go home and come back to race the next weekend, holding no grudge.



A Winning driver is a driver that has pactience and does not let others get into his mind. These are winning drivers.


And a Winning driver is not one that trys to win the race on the first lap, these are the ones that most good drivers end up going around, most of your smarter drivers lay back staying out of the wrecks that seem to come early.





Can't see his face, I planned it this way when I took the shot, the young man filling out my note pad is young and talented Wren Goodman who at the age of 28 has taken on a challange because he has taken over a track that was known as Hollis Crossroads, and was known to be one of the worst tracks in Georgia, but Wren being young and having a goal has renamed the track as "Little River Speedway", at Hollis Crossroads in Alabama.







Wren is the type of man that when you meet him you see his honesty in his face, he works hard all day and drives home to Alabama and there he takes care of his family.







Being 28 and having such great goals is something I wish more promoters had.







So fans and drivers here is the run down, write it down and remember that when you race at Little River Speedway you will be racing on a new and improved track.







Here are some facts you may need to know, Practices will be held on March 6. 2010, this practice will be a day before the Bama Bash.



Wren will start out the full racing season March 13, 2010 if I understand him correct "March Madness" will feature $1000 to win, Limited + Crate



$750 to win Hobby, and $500 to Win Pure Pony.



Gates will open at 12 noon, practice starting at 5 pm







Also remember on March 13, and 14th which is a two day event Wren will pay out for the Limited Openwheel $1000 to win



Hobby - Streetstock $750



Pure Pony - Mod-Pony $500

Fans should be excited because the entry to the stands remains $10.00 while Pits are $25.00



Plus children 12 and under get in FREE.







Wren is one of these promoters that is looking out for the fans, he will be putting on some great shows and I know that he will be making you feel great. There are so many changes that I don't have time to go through everything but I will keep you in the loop as to what Little River Speedway is doing and what is happening. So all you have to do is continue to check this BLOG.







I also want you to know that if you want to see some racing excitement, Little River Speedway will be the place to take the families on Saturday nights.







Drivers I want to let you know that Wren Goodman is as nice as he can be, he is not stuck up in the air, and I am sure once you get to know him you also will see the glimmer of excitement in his eyes. That is one reason I have this photo of him without showing his face, so be ready for some great racing at his new and improved track.








Thanks

Racing Season when and where?

RACING COME ON, WHICH TRACK IS BEST FOR YOU?


The racing season is over and the weather is cold and damp as we all go through this month of December where all your Christmas dreams I hope will come true.


As for as Racing goes, West Georgia Speedway will practice in February 2010, and the will begin full racing programs in March. Sammy Duke the owner is going with a Saturday night show in March and will think about changing over to a Friday night show in April, then again you really have know idea what Sammy Duke will do, things change every night at West Georgia Speedway.

The only reason Sammy would go to a Friday night race would be because of the new track opening at Senoia Speedway, which has been covered over with dirt. Do not worry, the asphalt is still there, but it will be hidden. Jack Mills will be leading the racing and will be in charge of it all.

Jack Mills has Tony Moses and Tim Moses helping him in this huge endeavor. Saturday night racing will be back to the dirt in April 2010 as Senoia lights racing season up for the fans.

I wonder how the asphalt drivers are feeling knowing the track is going dirt?

Jack is fixing Senoia up to become a premier race track and have all the goodies like Green Valley has.

How much will he charge to get in? I have still have know idea yet, but I am sure you will see a great racing show.
