Last Sunday was a day for gathering and reminiscing about one of Georgia's most important race tracks, and we have a look at the get-together for you this week over at Georgia Racing History.com .

Over 200 people gathered in Austell, Georgia last Sunday for the 22nd annual Jack Jackson Peach Bowl Reunion. Many Hall of Fame members and future Hall of Famers got together to swap stories and remember great racing moments on historic quarter mile race track, which was located at the corner of Brady Avenue and Howell Mill Road in Atlanta.

Thanks to photographer Mike Terrell, we have a photo-feature story for you on the event. Go have a look at Georgia Racing History.com .

A special thanks to everyone who came out on Jan. 31 at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville, Georgia, as 2010 Gresham Motorsports Park truck division champion Brittany Finley donated the pink hood she raced on her truck for cancer awareness. on Oct. 9, the night she won the title. Thanks to Brittany, her family and her crew for giving us such a unique and historic item for the hall.

Don't forget, the folks here at RacersReunion.com are busily preparing for the inaugural Middle Georgia Racer's Reunion, to be held March 11-12 at the old Middle Georgia Raceway near Byron, Georgia. Former drivers, fans, and just friends of racing in general are invited. Admission is $5 for both days, with kids under 8 admitted free for this celebration of Georgia's Racing History. We hope to see you there!

And, plans are underway for the second annual Georgia Racing Hall of Fame Night at Gresham Motorsports Park (the official race track of the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame) on April 23. Hall of Fame members get in free with their special track pass (if you didn't get yours last year, no problem - we still have them in hand for you!), with a big autograph session planned for all our Hall of Famers! Plus, the 2010 Hall of Fame inductees, Ted Edwards, Ernie Elliott, Jack Etheridge, Laverne Kendrick and Jerry Wimbish will be honored in a special pre-race ceremony on the track's front stretch. We'll have more information as we get closer to the event, but you can have a look at photos from last year's event here , and get more information on Gresham Motorsports Park here .

Happy Birthday wishes go out this week (belated) on Jan. 31 in memory of Ed Samples (1921-1991), Feb. 5 to Reed Sorenson and on Feb. 6 to Bill Lester.


Thanks everybody, have a great weekend!
