Well I have been waiting to let ya'll know this, so many people have been asking the documentary Augusta International Speedway: A Race with Destiny is complete and will be released February 16, 2010! I wanted to take a moment and use this forum to thank ALL the drivers from Richard Petty to Johnny Mallonee to Rex White to Buddy Gormley who took their time to talk to us and make this movie possible. This all began with my Dad going with Lester Durham to the meetings of the AIRPS to discuss his being inducted into the Hall of Fame we began wanting to interview Lester and be sure we documented the experiences he had, but then the story grew. Their were so many other drivers who wanted to tell about their times at Augusta Speedway and the story of the history of the track itself was something that we knew should be told, remembered and passed on. I am so proud to dedicate this movie to the memory of Lester Durham who passed away not long after being inducted into the Hall of Fame it is for him and the spirits of all the other drivers that made this happen, I hope you enjoy. Remember when it seems there is nothing left to do...Dare to Dream anyway

Vickie, I want you and Ken to know how much we appreciate all the time and effort that was put into this movie. The Augusta paper got a little confused about who made this movie and who did the screenplay, but we know better and Curtis wanted to appolize to the both of you . AIRPS is looking forward to the showing of the movie on Feb. 6.. Hope everyone comes and joins us there at Diamond Lakes at 11:00 and hope you can come Vickie P.S. BRING YOUR TISSUES!!!!!!!
