You could throw Modoc in there although they only run specials throughout the year.

Nice list for GA! None run supers every week anymore, Sadly! Those days are probably gone for good! Guess we should be glad for what we do have!

I'm not W85, but I'll add my 2 cents! I would say the Lucas Dixie and Rome weekend in late Sept. Watch most of the stars! Even catch the just into NC, Ray Cook's Tri County race then too. Curious to see what W85 says.

@Rocal 145

I would for sure say the Lucas Oil weekend at Dixie/Rome would be the event(s) to check out. Rome is a joint that everyone should experience and would be the one I'd say go to if you could only do one. It's really cool to see the supers run uphill on the backstretch and then downhill on the front as the track is slanted. Super fast place. Try to catch both though if you can. Both tracks are owned by the Swims family with Dixie being the weekly joint ran on Saturdays and Rome is ran about once a month on Sundays through the year. Great racing at Dixie too.

Senoia is another place you should check out when they have a big race. It used to be asphalt until the past decade. If you walk up from a distance though you still might think it's asphalt as they have gray gumbo clay for the racing surface. Don't ever recall seeing a bad show there since they widened the track and put the gumbo down.

I haven't been in a few years but the Showdown on the Coast at Oglethorpe Speedway Park used to be one of my favorite events to attend. Track is near Savanah Ga. which is also a cool town to visit. Always thought the joint was unique as it had a bar under the grandstands that you could walk in and chill. They had TVs hanging up that showed racing on the track. Now do understand that this was not your typical Race coverage you see on Nascar. Just static camera that showed a few angles of the track. Thought it was cool you could sit in there and drink a beer without missing any of the on track action. Racing wasn't always the best but they recently reconfigured the track and I heard it's a lot better but haven't been to see for my self.

Last little ping I'll throw a Ga track is North Georgia Speedway which sadly only runs 6-7 times a year now. Till this day it is still the track where Supers visibly looked the fastest to me. Was an Ultimate show a few years back that McDowell passed Chris Madden to win. Late night as it was delayed by rain which made the place hammerdown tacky. I swear no one was ever lifting and they just looked like they were flying!!!

@champion24

I don't know how I forgot Rome but I also forgot Lavonia which is the track I grew up going to as a kid and teenager. Added both to the list.

You could also add Lake View Motor Speedway to the list of SC and Dixieland speedway for NC.

Here in Bama there are decent number of tracks that run Late Models.

Tri-County
East Alabama Motor Speedway
North Alabama Speedway
Moulton Raceway
ECM Speedway
Ft.Payne Motor Speedway


However if you would like to see weekly Super Late's, here at Talladega, we run them weekly along with Durr/Layne Crates, Limited Late's (Steel Block)and the 602 LM Sportsmen.

Usually during NASCAR weekends, twice a year,on Friday and Saturday, we will have anywhere from 125 to 150 Late Models in the pits, best in Bama.

I believe Danville, Kickapoo, or whatever they called it when Pierce had it is closed. Yes no, yes?

Supposedly, only closed temporarily while they straighten out insurance issues. I'd be very surprised if they reopen under the current promoter.

That place seems to go through promoters like toilet paper.

Wisconsin....

Menominee, Shawano, Plymouth, Wilmot run " supers".... Darlington, Fountain City run USRA style limiteds... Might be a couple more.

I split the class's up according to the way they are classified now but it my mind they are all the same with a few rules that vary. Splitting the up into several different classes is bad for the sport IMHO.
