F.y.i. Not going to the world 9/12? Atomic has added a late model race !!!

[chillyrick]

With very few Super Late Models from this region expected to go to the World 100, ATOMIC SPEEDWAY will be racing late models for $2,000 to win on Saturday September 12. Expect details to be release soon.

Serious question- Why?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Why not?,.......

[MEE]

I for one will go to atomic
just don't have time or money to go to world.

[fryefan]

There are plenty of cars for both events.

[chillyrick]

TDR. Answered your question with the first sentence! I think we could see 30-35 cars, most of which are competitive to one and other. Many fans don't go to the World for various reasons. The real serious question would have been "Why Not"? Jmo.

Way to schedule against Southerns opening back up

[chillyrick]

Sure it didn't have anything to do with. Why are they not on Fridays, like they have been everytime they have reopened for thirty years?

[Barbecueboy]

Like every time they have re opened for thirty years????

That's a mouthful right there.

Southern was pretty cool in the 80s.

Southern was pretty cool in the 80s.

Couldn't agree more!
Southern Friday and Atomic Saturday!

i wont be going to either place this weekend BUT it is pretty (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ty that southern schedules an opening race on the weekend of the world 100 because of the chance they will get a crowd since no one else is racing and BAM brad mclown just has to race now too kind of a raw deal if you ask me just my .02 cents

Atomic Scheduled the race August 9th, Southern Scheduled theirs August 16th. So its the other way around.

They just added late models this past week. I know I saw it on FB.

[71PRPFan]

And now they're offering a 200$ to the top finishing steel block...

Swartz race cars was adding 25$ to steel blocks competing that night.

Business is business but this just dirty

They just added late models this past week. I know I saw it on FB.

I heard them announce 2 weeks ago during the freedom 40 qualifier. Which was actually 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I don't see what the problem is. Southern should've ran Friday night like they have every other weekend, when they wasn't shut down.

[71PRPFan]

Football season I guess

[TDRacin®]

I'm not much concerned with the cars so much, but the fans who may be torn. Hell, some of the drivers who can't afford to compete at the World still go to enjoy the race for what it is.

Good luck to ya and make sure you post how it went!

[Bill31]

The bottom of the flyer reads : "We are adding this race due to so many rain outs this season. This will help Lates & Mods in AMRA National points along with our Enduro 100 lap championship"

This was on the Atomic track owners facebook page on August 9th , along with the flyer (some people need to do some research before they spout off !) :

Hey Atomic Speedway Fans!

We are adding a show on September 12th. We will be racing AMRA Late Models, AMRA Modifieds, Sport Mods, Southern Ohio Lightning Mini Sprints and a 100 lap Enduro Championship!

We are giving away a $200 bonus for the highest finishing Steel Block in the AMRA Late Model division.

Also, Enduro's will pay the top 5!!! With this being the final Enduro race and it being the Championship race, Enduro's will pay $400, $200, $150, $100, $50 for the top 5. We will also pay out double points for the Enduro's.

Don't forget, that's Saturday September 12th. Should be a great racing evening, so come out and join us.

Atomic also ran the same weekend as the World 100 last year.
