Just like it is now if Donnie(kill a track)Clack has anything to do with it. Remember Lavonia?

Do you think lanier could make it as a dirt track again with a new owner

Maybe on sunday nights... Hartwell and Toccoa have Saturday sewn up, West Minister has Fridays. Modoc is for sale, I20 and Lavonia are on mothballs and to introduce yet another saturday night track in NE GA/SC border region right now in this economy would be risky at best and only serve to dilute the fan/racer base.

Lanier by far has the best facilities around compared to those tracks. Provide A great racing surface with decent payouts and be fair to everyone and the racers will come. West Minister is a pretty good distance from Lanier. I think they could pull Friday nights off pretty easy by pulling cars from Dixie, New Senoia and maybe Winder too. I haven't seen any drivers from these tracks run at Westminister. Lanier would be MUCH MUCH closer drive to them than West Minister is. Plus West Minister doesn't run Limiteds or Supers on a weekly basis. I think the unique shape of Lanier and it's history could be enough to get it going and make it successful if it's ran right. Certianly got to get rid of Donnie Clack.

There are enough dirt tracks in that area, i'm afraid another track would hurt the ones around it.

Ive been making the drive to dixie on a regular basis for several years now and dixie is a great race track.I have never been to these other tracks on this side of north ga so I can only repeat what I have heard and that is these tracks are not that great again I dont know that,but I did go to lanier back in the day when it was dirt and it was a first class facility.I think your right in saying that it would hurt them but it would be nice to have that first class facility back and im sure the drivers and dirt fans would agree.

If Friday were attempted that might work, but Saturday night is plenty full at the moment. Be warned, its takes time to build up a Friday night following. How long has Lanier been paved now, 30 years? We need more fans and racers and some stability at the moment, not another track, JMO. Turning Lanier back to dirt would only cannibalize existing tracks, which is not a healthy move for the sport at present in NE GA. What is needed is true promotion and a consistently run program with time limits, clear rules that are enforced on everyone and a class that brings in new racers.
