The 2nd Annual Charlie Mize Memorial / Shrine Benefit Race Delayed after Lap #4, Rescheduled for September 13th!!

July 8th, 2013 **FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** FASTRAK PR

(Lavonia, Georgia) - The Staff and management at the Lavoina Speedway and FASTRAK Companies International did everything they absolutely positively could to run on Saturday. Hard work and effort was pit into trying to get the 2nd Annual Charlie Mize Memorial / Shrine Benefit Race in at the 3/8th mile Lavonia Speed-Plant in Georgia.

31 FASTRAK Late Models teams converged to the Lavonia Speedway from all over to Kentucky and Alabama. Even with the weather elements they we're facing, the drivers, teams and most of all fans showed.

On Lap #4 of the 40 lap FASTRAK A-Main Feature the heavy rains and thunderstorms stated to settle in. Even during the rain delay the efforts and not giving up spirit was in everyone at the track to get it in. However the rains came in more and more and the projected forecast showed no signs of improving. The window of clearing wouldn't have been til 4:30am and then track prep would have been underway forcing a start time at 7am or later. Then with church service at 9 am and 60% chance af rain all day there was no other choice but to postpone til September 13th. We can't and won't make the fans or drivers go through that. Therefore the race was called on Lap #4 to be continued on Friday September 13th. The race will be on Friday night and resume from lap 4.

WHY RESCHEDULE FOR SEPTEMBER 13TH? That's the weekend of the 2013 Georgia State Championship. FASTRAK was not originally scheduled for both nights but this way, they can come now for both and save themselves one complete trip of expenses.

The competitors from the event that had already gotten underway to lap 4, will be the only competitors allowed for the make up event on that Friday Sept 13th. They will resume the race from lap 4, run that event plus run again the next night as well.

This was the very best decision we could come up with under the circumstances. Hopefully it worked well for everyone.

In a gesture of good will from FASTRAK Companies International and Lavonia Speedway dignitaries was given $250 for the 24 drivers to help with their traveling expenses home. This decision was made only after a meeting was held with FASTRAK Drivers so they could put their input into it. Everyone agreed so the decision was made to do that for them.

Tickets from tonight race for will be honored for next Friday night July 12th at Lavonia Speedway and the FIREWORKS will also be set to go off for the fans. We even tried to shoot them off but the weather ruined that immediately by soaking them.
