Senoia Back again and BETTER



Tim and Amey Moses, plus brother Tony Moses will be in charge of New Senoia raceway in 2011.

This is a photo taken of Tim and Amey Moses on their wedding day, and don't they look like a happy family.
If you have never met Tim you are in for a treat, he is always on the ball and has everything positive to say, that's the kind of people they are, and that means racing at Senoia in 2011 will be a blast as Tim pulls out every trick in the book to gain drivers attention and respect.

Drivers will be racing for points in 2011 and their will be a banquet in September when racing season ends.






A CLASS ACT "Pebbles Simpson" shows the 2010 "ORANGE" B.R.C shirt that you will see every lining the grandstands and also the fences, as her two drivers compete in the B-Cadet race, and that would be Billy Bright Sr. and his son Billy Bright Jr. So racing should go to a new level of excitement in 2011 at New Senoia Raceway.

Drivers like a man that has seen 32 years around a race car will be back, and that is Billy Bright Sr. driving in the B-Cadet race against his son Billy Bright Jr. Now Billy Jr has won plenty of races and is a force to be dealt with, maybe Sr, will teach Jr, some tricks regarding winning, then again maybe Sr. will just show his son how racing is done.


Billy Bright Sr. in this classic photo is saying "I'M BACK"


If you look at Billy Bright Sr. he is holding Billy Bright Jr, and if you read Jr's lips he is screaming and pointing that he wants to drive a car, and drive it fast, so Dad please put me down!.





"I say the SOUTH is back again"
Drivers who race at Senoia Raceway, are becoming hero's again, because if you look at these old photos of drivers you can see you are racing in history, on a track that made men stars, and took the toil on other cars.


Look at this Old photo of "Ricky Williams" who drove on the dirt at Senoia back in 1985.

Ricky Williams is still racing today and so is his son Richie Williams.






But you have to remember, how many drivers have battled this track, and how many have become legends winning race after race. Senoia at its roots with the best of the best dirt track drivers in the South.



In this photo, some really famous drivers, like #M-1 was none other than Jack Morris, who in 1970 was a big time winner ,he was Glenn's uncle, Glenn's father was Bob Morris and he was a winner, so now his son races on the same dirt track as his uncle and his father. I hope this year Glenn wins his first major race in 2011.











Now in 2010 look at the change in cars, here is #91 Todd Darda, showing the way and blowing past everyone, in his Crate Car.

Then you have a young gun, "Marty Lundsford"
and I mean young, but this young man can handle his #M96 Crate car with the best of the best drivers at Senoia.


Then you have young gun,#18 Matt Dooley, who comes out of a pure dirt track racing family and will be soon becoming a driver to watch.

The driver I look to win more races in 2011 will be that of a class act driver "Scott Duffey" in his #25 Limited Late Model





One class act driver that will not be seen at Senoia in 2011 will be one driver that has won more races everywhere in Dirt Track racing, and that is "Mr.Glenn McWaters" an his famous #G1 race car that was the threat in any race.

Glenn is hanging it up for a year or so, and maybe he will return and make it "Glory Days Again", but until then he is going to be with his son "Walter" and his precious wife Kacie.




One thing for sure is Senoia Raceway, will bring out the best of the best, winners in there own right like #41 one class driver, that even had a bounty on him, Mr.Scott Sherrer who took driving in the hobby division to a new level, and fans knew that Scott was going to be some where near the front in ever race he was in, and sure enough he came to Senoia and put on a racing clinic in the hobby feature.





Then again in B-Cadet you would see "Big" Jeff Carter join the ranks of the historic drivers to WIN at New Senoia Raceway, where he would take home the checked flag.

Jeff took this win on June 5, 2010
Again in 2011 will Carter be a force to be reckoned with?.

On May 15, 2010 in the Enduro feature Mike Ray known as "The River dale Rocket" or too this writer as the "Elderly Gentleman" would go on to Win his feature.

Now Eduro features have been done away with so Mike will have to get his car ready to run with so
me of the best hobby drivers in the South, is he ready?








Tim Moses with his brother Tony Moses have promised that we could see 2 shows of Super LATE MODELS, that will feature drivers like, #25 Shane Clanton, #17 Ricky William, #44 Clint Smith and who know who else will show up, for this super event that will have the crowds packing into the track. Can you imagine SUPER LATE MODELS running for big money at Senoia, well if Tim has his way the fans will see some of the fastest and greatest drivers come and run on the 3/8th track at New Senoia Raceway.



Drivers back for 2011 in Limited Late Model, will be Shane Criswell a pure winner, Shane Fulcher with his father this season. Also racing will be Little Joe Armistead Jr, and his #21 race car, and #73 "Racing Jason" Williams , plus #99 Rucker Orr, add in a few more drivers like #28 Glenn Morris and you will see some real racing action.

Many Thanks To all,

WGS,Little River, Senoia





West Georgia Speedway, Little River Speedway, Senoia Raceway, what have all they in common?

THEY ARE DIRT TRACKS!

West Georgia Speedway is known as “THE BURG”, and if you can drive and win there you can win on any track, put it this way there has been some great drivers run on the track, thinking they would cruise to a easy win, and then something strange happened, I call it “THE FORCE OF THE UNKNOWN”.
Just when a driver thinks he has the race in the bag and all he has to do is go and collect his money, something happens with his car, something like a curse.

West Georgia Speedway is 3/8-mile dirt, semi-banked, oval track that is located off Highway 16 and Wellington Mill Road in Whitesburg, Georgia. It is family-owned since 1992

The track is owned and operated by Sammy Duke who has kept it afloat for over 35 years serving the Northwest part of Georgia.

If you want to see some classic racing, with down to earth drivers, West Georgia Speedway is the place to be on Saturday nights. You have great fans and a tough track, with tougher drivers.

Little River Speedway
If you are looking for a place in Alabama to race, look no farther than the new and improved Little River Speedway, (which was known once as Hollis-Crossroads).

The owner and promoter of this cleaned up track is a 28 year old that has some big ideas for racing, and he seems to know what he wants in life. Little River Speedway has been renovated to become a class race track. How do you get there?
As Wren Goodman the promoter says, “We are located 1/2 mile from Hollis Crossroads down Highway 431 south.”

The Speedway itself is located at 9104 Highway 431 Heflin, Alabama.

For all kinds of information regarding this super cleaned up race track, which will have some fantastic racing shows coming up, all you have to do is contact Wren Goodman at 1-256-488-5148.

So if you’re looking for racing action, Little River Speedway looks like the track that will be putting on some big time shows, so BE THERE!

SENOIA RACEWAY
If you are looking for a Historic Track, then look no farther than Senoia Raceway, that’s right “THE NEW SENOIA RACEWAY”. This track went back to DIRT, for the 2010 racing season.

Jack Mills along with Tony Moses, and Tim Moses, have brought back dirt track racing to an asphalt track.

WE ARE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS WITH CONVERTING THE TRACK BACK TO DIRT. WHEN IT IS COMPLETED WE CAN BEGIN WORK ON THE NEW GO KART TRACK AND CONTINUE TO GET READY FOR THE 2010 SEASON. WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR ALL THEIR INTEREST IN NEW SENOIA RACEWAY. THE SEASON WILL BE HERE BEFORE WE KNOW IT.

FOR ALL OTHER INFORMATION PLEASE E-MAIL RACE DIRECTOR JACK MILLS AT NEWSENOIARACEWAYDIRECTOR@EARTHLINK.NET.

When I filmed races there in the 2000 season, the track was known as the fastest 3/8th Oval in Georgia! Remember it was Asphalt then.

The New Senoia Raceway is known as The fastest 3/8th DIRT Oval in Georgia!

There website is easy it is: http://www.newsenoiaraceway.com/


Remember racing season is almost here, and now that West Georgia Speedway is holding some practices on Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon till dark, it is a great time for a driver to take their car down before the “Bama Bash” to check it out.

What I enjoy most is getting down to the track and I know February is still a long way off, but to hear the sound of the engines makes you wish it was March and you were at the track.

Come to think about it, and I will mention it briefly, Sammy Duke said before it is over he plans on running some Late Model Shows that will pay $1500 to win, like I told him if he wants to see some real fans fill his stands, that is all he needs to do, put on a few LATE MODEL Shows.

Those are just some things in the works at West Georgia Speedway, who knows what will happen.

Thanks
