Any Dirt Late Model Fans in the Mobile, AL Area?

[zach51]

Hey guys (and gals). I recently moved to Mobile, AL where there seems to be much more folks into asphalt racing than the Arkansas/Oklahoma area where I lived all my life so far. I still enjoy going to watch the asphalt races in Pensacola and Mobile but I've grown up loving dirt late models and sprints.

I was just curious to see if there is anybody in this area that might wanna talk racing and maybe even carpool or meet up at some events this season. The only race I got to go to last year was the National 100 and I had a great time. Planning on doing a lot more this year.

My name is Zach, holler at me!

Yeah I definitely want to make it up there this year.

Fall Classic at the end of the year is a can't miss race.

Zach, you going to need to drive up north some here in Bama for some Dirt Late Model stuff. There are some events to your west in Louisiana You will get some real nice shows at East Alabama this year. Up near Birmingham you can catch great weekly shows at Talladega where I announce. Also there is Moulton, Ft Payne as well. You can pm me here or on Midsouthracing or latemodelracer.com and I will fix you up for a free night at Talladega.

Hey Zach, Im not from your area but I go to EAMS alot and really love the place. Ill be going to the Bama Bash and would enjoy meeting up and having a cold one or two together and talking some racing. Ive made some great friends at the races and enjoy spending time with them all. Race fans are some of the best people in the world.

Sounds good! We can meet up for sure. I'm trying to decide if I want to "camp" up there for the Bama Bash (which would basically be either me putting up a tent or sleeping in the back of my Equinox) or getting a hotel in Columbus like I did for the National 100. It might be a little chilly to be in a tent. I'll probably play it by ear and see how the weather looks as it gets closer.

And thanks for the info Mark, that sounds good as well. I'm still scoping out the schedules on dirtondirt when I get free time at work and trying to figure out which races I want to try to make. I'm planning on going to Jackson March 27th, and MAYBE Ark-La-Tex on the 28th but that will be a game time decision, that is a long drive back to Mobile from Shreveport.

Zach are you going to try and make it to any of the speedweeks races?

I haven't decided yet. I'd like to but it would just be a quick weekend trip down and back. I think volusia is about 7 hour drive for me. My counterpart here at work has already taken off about 10 days for Mardi Gras at the same time so I can't get too far out of pocket.
