Same dates as the "proposed" race at Waycross. I wonder if the other is a Lucas show. Looking forward to the race at Screven. It's gonna be a cold one!

[dirtfan2757]

While Waycross has made its improvements, racing at Screven is still a whole lot better than Waycross.

However, I hope the tracks in GA will work together in the upcoming years for these events.

Georgia Track’s Second Annual ‘Winter Freeze’ Event Becomes A $20,000-To-Win Spectacular

SYLVANIA, GA – April 1, 2011 – The 2012 World of Outlaws Late Model Series season will kick off in unprecedented fashion.

Screven Motor Speedway’s second annual ‘Winter Freeze’ event will become a multi-day, $20,000-to-win WoO LMS extravaganza on Feb. 9-11, 2012, track and series officials announced on Friday.

The 60-lap headline A-Main will be the richest season-opening race in the history of the WoO LMS as well as the biggest show ever presented at promoter Redd Griffin’s 15-year-old Georgia track located about an hour’s drive Northwest of Savannah.

It will also mark just the second time since the national tour was restarted in 2004 under the World Racing Group banner that the schedule will begin at a facility other than Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla.


“We’re extremely excited to work with Redd Griffin and his staff on an event that promises to bring plenty of attention to the World of Outlaws Late Model Series and Screven Motor Speedway,” said WoO LMS director Tim Christman. “Redd approached me with his desire for Screven to host our 2012 season opener and we immediately started to discuss some options.

We’re thrilled that he decided to expand his ‘Winter Freeze’ into the biggest dirt Late Model race that Georgia/Florida Speedweeks has seen in years.”

Griffin, who has scheduled an annual WoO LMS event at his three-eighths-mile oval since 2008, attempted to hold his first ‘Winter Freeze’ program earlier this year, on Feb. 3.

The inaugural event – a doubleheader featuring dirt Late Models and the O’Reilly All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series – was postponed by rain to Nov. 2 after all Sprint Car qualifying and a portion of the dirt Late Model preliminaries were completed.

After Screven’s ’11 WoO LMS card was washed out by thunderstorms on March 26, however, Griffin moved to make the dirt Late Model portion of the postponed ‘Winter Freeze’ – which was already slated to restart from scratch on Nov. 2 – a WoO LMS event and pumped up the winner’s share to $12,000. Griffin also agreed to list the Wed., Nov. 2, date as tentative; he will reset the ‘Winter Freeze’ to Tues., Nov. 1, if wet weather would force the World of Outlaws Showdown on Oct. 12 at The Dirt Track at Charlotte to be postponed to Nov. 2 as a lead-in to the World Finals as happened in 2008 and 2009.


Now, just three months after the WoO LMS visits Screven for a critical late-season event, Griffin will bring the tour back for a blockbuster lidlifter. He acted to announce the 2012 event as early as possible in order to get it cemented on the calendars of both fans and racers.


“We’re really looking forward to next year’s ‘Winter Freeze’ with the World of Outlaws Late Model Series,” said Griffin. “I feel real good about it. We want to build our February show and getting together with the World of Outlaws is the way to do it.
“We like working with the World of Outlaws. We’ve had great success with Outlaw races at Screven – that name just draws people.”

Griffin has become known for the annual improvements he makes to his facility and he expects more will be done prior to the 2012 ‘Winter Freeze.’ He said erecting additional grandstands will be high on his list of priorities.

“We’re going to do everything we can to make next year’s ‘Winter Freeze’ a fun weekend for everybody who comes to Screven,” said Griffin, a personable, easily-approachable track owner who is often seen interacting with race teams and fans. “I already can’t wait for February to get here.”

The format for the WoO LMS portion of the 2012 ‘Winter Freeze’ calls for an open practice on Thurs., Feb. 9; time trials and heat races on Fri., Feb. 10; and B-Mains and the 60-lap, big-money A-Main on Sat., Feb. 11.

Local divisions will also compete, and Griffin is planning to include a 410 Sprint Car program on either Thursday or Friday night, pending talks with O’Reilly All-Star officials.

More details of the 2012 ‘Winter Freeze’ at Screven Motor Speedway will be released in the coming months. Log on to www.screvenmotorspeedway.com for information.

Volusia Speedway Park, which since 2004 has hosted the WoO LMS season opener every year with the exception of ’06, will follow Screven on the 2012 schedule.

Tour events on Feb. 23 and 25, 2012, will be part of the 41st annual DIRTcar Nationals that runs from Feb. 14-25.

He will have his hands full with the likes of three-time and defending All Star champion Tim Shaffer, who also won the Ohio and Great Plains region titles in 2011, and three time series champion Dale Blaney.

Throw in the young guns like Danny Holtgraver, Pete Miller, Cap Henry, David Gravel and more and the possibility of several World ofOutlaw teams competing during these events and you have a recipe forexciting winter racing.

“We’re very excited about the 2012 southern races.

There’s plenty of racing for the folks from up north to see this year in Georgia and Florida. We are working with these stable tracks and promoters and look forward to our tented drivers putting on a tremendous show,” said Guy Webb of All StarChampionship Racing.

James ‘Redd’ Griffin has received plenty of congratulatory handshakes and phone calls since being named the 2011 Racing Promotion Monthly Southeastern Region Auto Racing Promoter of the Year, but the modest Georgian certainly hasn’t paused to celebrate his honor.

For Griffin, there just isn’t any time right now for introspection. He’s less than one month away from the richest event he’s ever presented at his Screven Motor Speedway: the ‘Winter Freeze’ on Feb. 10-11, a blockbuster weekend that he hopes will prove he’s a worthy recipient of the coveted promotional award.

A 60-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series A-Main paying $20,000 to win headlines the Winter Freeze, which also features a pair of $5,000-to-win events for the UNOH All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series. It’s a monster pairing of headline divisions that will kick off the season-opening Georgia/Florida speedweeks with a flourish.

“I’m really looking forward to this show,” said Griffin, whose three-eighths-mile oval played host to annual $10,000-to-win WoO LMS programs from 2008-10 (last year’s World of Outlaws race was rained out on its original date and then later canceled by the track). “This is the biggest thing we’ve ever done at Screven and the interest I’m seeing has been fantastic. If we can get some of that good weather I’m praying for, I think we’re gonna have a great turnout and an awesome show.”

The Winter Freeze promises to put a punctuation mark on Screven’s rise to relevance in the motorsports industry under Griffin, who 16 years ago began carving the complex out of a cotton field one hour northwest of Savannah. Griffin has constructed one of the most diverse racing facilities in the country, boasting not only a competitive red-clay oval but also the quarter-mile Savannah River Dragway, a mud bog, a nearly quarter-mile dirt go-kart track and a paved rental kart track.

Griffin, 43, has made additions to Screven’s infrastructure and beefed up the track schedules virtually every year since he came on the scene. It’s this dedication to providing fans and racers an ever-improving experience – not to mention Griffin’s down-home, regular-guy personality – that earned him recognition as one of six regional Promoter of the Year honorees by RPM, an idea newsletter and professional resource for racetrack operators.

“I’m really shocked to win it,” said Griffin, one of the nominees for the 36th National Auto Racing Promoter of the Year Award that will be announced on Feb. 20 during the 39th annual RPM Workshops in Daytona Beach, Fla. “It sure is an honor to be recognized like that by the other promoters. I guess you can say it puts the pressure on to live up to an award that’s that important.”

In that vein, Griffin is laser-focused on the Winter Freeze. A mild winter has given him and his staff plenty of opportunity to prep the property for the expected influx of spectators and teams. Most notably, he’s erected more bleachers on the front and back straightaways and has completely turned over Screven’s racing surface in hopes of continuing the side-by-side action that many observers rate as some of the best fans will see in the Southeast.

Griffin has planned a full weekend of activities for Winter Freeze attendees, starting with an open practice session running from 6-10 p.m. on Thurs., Feb. 9. The schedule of events on Fri., Feb. 10, includes WoO LMS time trials and heat races plus full programs for the All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series and the Screven Late Model division ($1,500 to win), while the card on Sat., Feb. 11, features B-Mains and the lucrative Winter Freeze finale for the WoO LMS as well as another All-Star Sprint Car show and a $2,500-to-win crate Late Model headliner.

In addition, Griffin will keep things busy on Saturday afternoon with Gee Chee Creek Mudd Drags competition, racing at his Game(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) Speedway go-kart oval and challenge races between World of Outlaws drivers and fans on the rental kart track. The mud-bog and go-kart action is included in the $35 adult ticket price, which also provides an all-access pass to the pit area of each racing venue.

“We’re gonna give everybody plenty to see and do during the day,” said Griffin. “It’s a great deal for the fans. For $35 you get to see all kinds of different racing in one place, and you can go in the pits and rub elbows with (WoO LMS stars) like Rick Eckert and Josh Richards and all the 410 Sprint Car guys.”

Griffin will also have his famed concession stand cranking out a wide variety of foods all weekend. The large building, situated between the speedway and dragstrip, is well known for producing much more than the normal racetrack fare.

“When the folks come down here from all over, we’re gonna make sure we treat ‘em right,” said Griffin, who plans to situate heaters under the grandstands to provide fans extra warmth if the temperatures dip at night. “We’re going to show them good southern hospitality and give ‘em some good southern cooking.”

The Winter Freeze will begin the chase for the $100,000 WoO LMS points title, assuring a banner turnout of World of Outlaws hopefuls. Topping the field will be former series champions Rick Eckert of York, Pa., Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., and Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y. – all of whom plan to pursue another crown in 2012 – as well as two-time titlist Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., who has not yet announced his schedule for ’12 as he looks to land a fulltime NASCAR Camping World Truck Series ride.

Eckert, Lanigan and McCreadie are just three of the last year’s WoO LMS fulltimers who are expected to return in ’12, joining Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., Shane Clanton of Fayetteville, Ga., Clint Smith of Senoia, Ga., Vic Coffey of Caledonia, N.Y., Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., Pat Doar of New Richmond, Wis., Ron Davies of Warren, Pa., and John Lobb of Frewsburg, N.Y.

Several additional drivers have revealed their intention to enter the Winter Freeze in hopes of jump-starting a season-long assault on the WoO LMS. The list includes Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn., Bub McCool of Vicksburg, Miss., Jack Sullivan of Greenbrier, Ark., Dan Stone of Thompson, Pa., Billy Moyer Jr. of Batesville, Ark., Rick ‘Boom’ Briggs of Bear Lake, Pa., Kent Robinson of Bloomington, Ind., and Jill George of Cedar Falls, Iowa.

The Winter Freeze roster will be accented by an array of other national, regional and local standouts.

Griffin said that he will add a Non-Qualifiers’ Race to the WoO LMS itinerary if more than 48 dirt Late Models are signed in for the event.

Screven’s gates are scheduled to open at 10 a.m. each day of the Winter Freeze. Hot laps are set to start at 5 p.m. on Fri., Feb. 10, and Sat., Feb. 11, with qualifying to immediately follow.

Admission to the practice night (including entry to the pits) on Thurs., Feb. 9, is $20 and free for children 12-and-under. On both Fri., Feb. 10, and Sat., Feb. 11, admission (including pits) is $35 for adults, $15 for children 7-12 and free for kids 6-and-under.

Screven Motor Speedway will provide free camping (no hookups) on the paved dragstrip on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hand pattied angus beef burgers (aged 28 days)

Is that a fancy way of saying Redd bought them on sale about a month ago?

[flagone]

No Sir. Redd slaughtered a 900 lbs Black Angus Cow and hung it up for 28 days. This man goes all out. He just told me he "sampled" some of the hamburger last night and it was "off the chain". Time is getting closer.
