Outlaw

Thunder to boom at Senoia Speedway

Wild and exciting

winged outlaw sprint car racing comes to Senoia Speedway

Saturday night May 13th. The United Sprint Car Series

(U.S.C.S.) "Outlaw Thunder" Tour roars into the

fast 3/8th mile asphalt oval-located 4 miles West of

Georgia interstate 85 on Georgia Highway 16 for its first

visit of the 2000 season.

This

Weekend's race is expected to bring drivers from seven or

more states to the Speedway with their alcohol burning

700+ Horsepower winged open wheeled cars.

The cars,

which weigh approximately 1300 pounds, will literally fly

around the track at speeds well in excess of 120 miles

per hour. It's not uncommon to see these powerful

vehicles popping "wheelies" or doing

wheelstands, because of the brute force of their engines

and their huge 18 inch wide rear tires.

Heavy-hitter

entries include: series points leader and 1997 U.S.C.S.

Champion Red Stauffer of Winter Park, FL., who won the

U.S.C.S. asphalt opener at Albany Motor Speedway's 1/4

mile asphalt oval on April 1st and Florida State Champion

Kenny Adams, Stauffer's teammate, who won the dirt opener

at 7 Flags Speedway on April 15th, is entered as well.

But Stauffer will have his hands full with a host of

challengers to include: seven-time National sprint car

champion, Terry Gray of Bartlett, Tennessee, who has over

300 wins and his teammate, Toby Brown of Joplin,

Missouri.

Plus the

"Georgia Gang" including local sprint car

racer, Pete Walton of Fayetteville; 1999 U.S.C.S.

"Rookie" champion, Chris Rogers of Winston,

Ga., 1999 asphalt runner-up Ted Williams, Randy Helton,

Jim Raptis, Ian Thomas, and Jim McKenzie all of Atlanta.

Other entries included Dave Thomas of Greenville, South

Carolina, and Jerry Steele of Winston-Salem.

Saturday

night's program will include a "dash" comprised

of the top six qualifiers, heats, and a 40 lap main event

in the Outlaw sprints.

U.S.C.S.

promoter, Pete Walton, predicts a new track record as

sprint cars usually go 1.5 to 2.0 seconds faster than

anything else that has visited the speedway. The program

will also feature races in the speedway's stock car

divisions.

Gates open

Saturday at 3:00 p.m. for the pits and grandstands open

at 5:00 p.m. Racing starts at 7:00 p.m. So come on out

early and have some great family fun at Senoia Speedway

this Saturday night for "Outlaw Thunder" 2000.

Pit gate open at 4:00pm, grandstand at 5:00pm with racing

beginning at 7:00pm.
