The Future (2010) of Vintage Racing at the Rock

Vintage Oval and Road Course Racing

and the plot thickens ----people say it various ways but it all boils down to one thing--they got a car--they want to play--they proud of how they run-- or proud of their work-- or just want to have fun with their car(s) --so now what to do---a group needs to set down and really think this through-- its prestige on the track or in the pits--its bragging rights under the lights--its setting home with your buddies and saying yup i won that trophy at rockingham---wow that has a ring to it --money is tight this day and time --us older seasoned racers know this all to true but with proper budgeting everybody almost can participate--yeah i know i sound like a used car salesman but think of it as an adventure then you have beautiful-----------------------------------------------memories like this a project to build into a beautiful ride

trophies to me is a cool way to show what you did when you went---money draws cars true but really thats not the idea i dont think -- keep a points value through the year and then have a grand party at the end of the year and the players will stand out-- maybe show up money might not hurt -- it may intice some guys a little further out to come ---,heck you might get them crackerheads in ga to show upbut the majority of us just wanna race dang it whether its tricycles or ---its going to take some input on everybody to see their thoughts on this but im all for it -- entry fee is probably mandatory but a modest one so us poor folks can afford to come play because transportation to and from with a car in tow is pricy at the best ---. lets hear from others and then compile notes then you will have a maybe thought to work with--- oh boy oh boy we gonna go racin boys ole D.W. will have fun with this

photos on track website show them hauling in the dirt on top of pavement but I read another place where they took up the pavement johnny mallonee said:

I perfer the dirt side of it more fun to race on it more forgiving if you slipped on the pavement there you went back fast --- i know --i tried it Bill Powell said:

I've seen great racing at Senoia-both dirt and Asphalt. When it used to be dirt Leon Archer was hard to beat. When it was Asphalt Ronnie Sanders was the man. Great little race track.
