Senoia - hope they get a Lucas or Woo race next year

[dalemcfan]

I would be surprised if Senoia Raceway doesn't get a Lucas or WoO race next year if they want one. That gray gumbo is mighty racey. A Senoia/East Alabama or Senoia/Dixie/Rome would be a great weekend.

Agreed, they've had some great racing at that joint this year. Def. hitting up their $10,000 to win show in November.

Does the place have the seating capacity for it to even really be viable?

A big group of us were going to make the two hour trip to Senoia a couple months ago -- until we saw the admission prices. A new track should be doing everything it can to get fans to attend, not chase them away. We have the November race tentatively on our schedule. It's up to Senoia to close the deal now.

Place is really good right now.

I agree they have been a little greedy it seems. Think they charged $25 for a $5000 to win show a few months back. Heard the place was still packed out though so as long as people pay and show up guess they'll keep doing it. A little scared to see what they're going to charge in November myself. As far as a regular show goes though I think they have the best deal around at $12 admission to the stands.

Senoia is new?

I've been trying to get over there for a while.

Yes .. I believe they have the seating capacity (and parking) to pull in Lucas or Woo .. I've been to tracks that had less of both and it worked.

It would be d@mn shame if they don't. Ive never been there, but it does look awesome.

Then they should definitely do it.

They had some fair sized asphalt shows before they went to dirt with no problem.

When did it go to dirt from asphalt?.....seems like I've been trying to get over there for at least 5 or 6 years and I've only known it to be dirt.

It started as dirt, same as Lanier, then asphalt and I think back to dirt in 2010???? Seems like it has put a big hurting on Dixie now.

Thanks , all this talk about it being new and asphalt had me scratching my head a little..........

Yes it was 2010. At first it didn't really hurt Dixie too much until the newer promoters took over recently. Reconfiguring the track and the removal of the asphalt REALLY made the racing a LOT better. They also started running all 3 main late model classes which started to hit Dixie. This is the first year they've ran the Gumbo Clay and it seems to be a hit with the drivers as well. It's almost worth a trip just to see this type of dirt if you've never seen it. Walking towards the track from the admission gate you'd almost think the track is still asphalt due to the color of the clay.
