Sylvania, Georgia –
Screven Motorsports Complex owner and promoter James “Redd” Griffin has made quite a name for himself the last few years by bringing mega motorsports events to his facility located near Newington, Georgia. And on November 16 and 17 Griffin will open his gates for one of his biggest events to date. The 12th Annual Georgia State Outlaw Championships is expected to attract more than
200 race cars at all venues for the two day affair. “We have been doing this for quite a while now. We have been making it bigger and bigger every year.” Griffin said. “This year is no exception to that. In addition to our big $8000 to win Renegade 4 Battle Royale, we will also have the Super Late Models for 2 separate and complete shows. Friday will be unsanctioned and pay $3000 to win while Saturday will be with the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series and pay $5000 to win. We should have cars from everywhere here to race with us. We’re going to show them a good time and have some great racing.”
Just as has become the norm, all five venues located at Screven Motorsports Complex will be hosting action during this huge event. The Savannah River Dragway will play host to the 3rd Annual Marky B Memorial Weekend; The Game(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Speedway (karts) will host its Georgia State Championship race. The Gee Chee Creek Mudd Drag / Jump will also be in action along with the ever-popular concession rental ride kart track. “We have something for everyone going at Screven. We hope everyone will come out and see what we have to offer. We are constantly trying to add to the facility and give fans more for their money.” Griffin added.
While fans will have plenty of on-track excitement both nights, they will also have plenty of other on-site entertainment to fill out their weekend. On Friday night, at the conclusion of racing action, the band Moccasin Creek will be on the new SMC Star Stage performing live. The band will also be filming for their upcoming video, so fans it attendance just might get some camera time. On Saturday night Bobby Brantley and Big Juicy of Lizard Lick Towing will be on hand signing autographs and meeting fans. All of this is included with your low one-price admission ticket.
The Georgia Outlaw State Championships at the Screven Motor Speedway will feature the $21,000 total purse Renegade 4 Battle Royale which includes Savannah River Utilities Qualifying and a 100 lap feature for this grassroots division. Last year the $7000 winner’s purse was collected by South Carolina’s J.J. Williams. Williams will return to defend his title but he will have to face stiff competition expected from 10 states to do so. The Renegade 4s will have round one and two of their time trials on Friday and then a final round on Saturday to set the running order for the 43 car starting field. “The Renegade 4 cars are very close to stock. They have stock bodies and look like some of the same makes and models that fans drive every day. So the fans can definitely relate. They might not know the driver but they can at least root for the guy in the Saturn or Honda that looks like theirs.” Griffin said.
In addition to hot laps for all divisions and Renegade 4 qualifying, Friday night will also see complete shows for Road Warrior, Super Street, Pure Street and the $3000 to win unsanctioned / open-tire Super Late Models. On Saturday the Road Warriors, Super Streets and Pure Streets will race again along with the two headliner divisions. The ULTIMATE Super Late Models will compete for a $5000 winner’s check in their 50-lap feature and then the Renegade 4 drivers will go after the $8000 purse in their 100-lap feature event.
On Friday pit gates open at 3 PM. Pre-race inspection for Renegade 4s begins at 3:30 and will conclude when the drivers meeting begins at 6. Drivers in Renegade 4s must receive a transponder, complete pre-race inspection and register to participate in Friday activities. Round 1 of Renegade 4 qualifying will begin immediately following the drivers meeting. Hot laps for other divisions will follow. Racing is slated to begin at 7:15. Saturday the pit gate will open at 3 PM with Renegade 4 pre-race inspection set for 3:30. The Renegade 4 drivers’ meeting is scheduled for 4:45. Renegade 4 Round 2 time trials will begin at 5:10. ULTIMATE SLM and support division drivers’ meeting is slated for 6 PM with hot laps immediately following. Racing action is set to get underway at 7 PM.
