Dixie Speedway?

[MRM]

Promoters have been held hostage by drivers that refuse to run heats. With so many tracks in East Tennessee, they're afraid they'll leave for a neighboring track. In a place like Dixie, there's not much competition. So where are they going to go?

Bristol had as red of clay you can get, or at least it was on my tv screen.

I said good red clay. I think it's too early to tell if Bristol had good clay, the first dirt race they had was just super hammer down for lates.

Screven has some real good racing on theirs.

Where are they gonna go? Senoia, North Georgia speedway, West Georgia Speedway, TST isn’t that far.

Senoia is the main reason Dixie did away with the spin wheel and started qualifying Crate and Limited. Senoia qualified theses classes so drivers started going there when they had to do heat races at Dixie. Not too long ago, only Supers qualified and then spun the wheel for invert. Wheel jus sits there collecting dust now when they do run Supers.

Senoia isn’t purely gumbo as it once was. I’m told the new owners have been mixing in other dirt. I even noticed in a recent visit that is not nearly as gray in color as it once was.

Amen, brother. I’ve talked to promoters and drivers. Some drivers have turned into pu**ies. Not wanting to run heats is evidence A. It’s a southern thing. And before anyone says it, yes, I’ve talked face to face with several of them. Anyone who knows me personally, knows I’m not a keyboard warrior. They say it’s a money thing. They say they tear up more stuff in heats than they tear up in the feature. Yada, yada, yada. If it’s really a money issue, drop down to the FWD class.

Screven is not the kind of red clay we’re referring to.

When they started being ashamed of the name and fan base that built them I kind of quit caring about them.

I’m holding back on this one.

I agree with you 100%!!!

Slowly they are dropping the "Dixie" and becoming "The Red
Clay track in Woodstock". Mike's son i slowly moving up the management pole - and hopefully will be a better promoter.

Total bull—-t. Where the hell did that come from? Lol!
