FASTRAK GA State Championship at Lavonia Rescheduled
Carnesville, GA (Sept. 17th) Mother Nature has hampered plans for the Georgia State Championship run this weekend at Lavonia Speedway. Rain is forecast in northeast Georgia at 70 percent chance on Friday and 80 percent likelihood on Saturday, leaving track owner Brad York in a tough spot.
“I just could not, in good conscience, commit teams and fans to long hauls, in the rain, only to cancel in the end,” stated York. “I have, however, talked to Stan Lester of FASTRAK and we will still run the Georgia State Championship, Southeastern Touring Race, on Oct. 16 & 17 at Lavonia Speedway.”
York also talked about getting many phone calls in reference to the situation for many drivers of trying to get their required 12 races to qualify for the GRAND NATIONAL events, which are set to start the first weekend of October.
“I’m postponing the Georgia state Championship, but I will make every effort to run a regular Saturday night FASTRAK event on Saturday night, weather permitting,” York continued. “I just do not want to lead people into thinking it will be easy.”
No doubt FASTRAK teams from around the country are scrambling to get in one or two more shows to qualify for the FASTRAK $30,000 to win 3 race Grand Nationals. Even more are scrambling to get that one more finish in taking their 15 best shows for the $10,000 to win City Chevrolet National Weekly Championship. That championship ends the last weekend in September. "I can't believe the people that have been calling" stated York.
"My phone has rung off of the hook all week long. You just can't appreciate how much the FASTRAK Championship events mean until there are no more shows left to either qualify for the Grand Nationals or no more races left for the National Weekly Title. This shows just how strong the FASTRAK program really is,” York said.
Next FASTRAK Race: Wythe Raceway September 26th. $10,000 to win! Twenty cars are locked in and we start with B Mains to set the 80 lap Feature. This race STARTS 32 CARS and has a Pit Stop on front straight at lap 40. Cars may still come and start at the rear of the B Mains. This will give you the opportunity for "paid practice" if you have never been to Wythe and B Mains will be limited to 10-12 cars (?). Top four transfer to feature if we have 3 B-Mains.
