LIGHTNING 'WINS' YEAR ONE FAST FRIDAY; HAYES SPORT COMPACT CHALLENGE FINALE POSTPONED
Courtesy Tim Glover
BANKS CROSSING, GA A sudden lightning storm on Friday evening, August 20, forced a shortened Year One Fast Friday program at Atlanta Dragway. Track officials made every effort to continue the show after a rain shower halted runs down the track just after 9:00 PM, but called it an official event at 9:45 PM and postponed the Hayes Sport Compact Challenge championship race as the storm persisted.
The next Year One Fast Friday program is scheduled for Friday, August 27, and will feature the postponed 2004 championship event of the Hayes Sport Compact Challenge. Racers who have a Hayes Sport Compact Challenge ticket from August 20th may use it for entry into the final Sport Compact Challenge race on August 27th, and need only purchase a new Street Legal Racer ticket for entry.
Gates will open at 6:00 PM for both racers and spectators on Friday, August 27, with racing action beginning at 6:45 and the Hayes Sport Compact Challenge championship race starting at 11 PM. Terry Turpin of Maysville leads all Hayes Sport Compact challengers entering the final round of this racing season.
Sponsored by Year One Automotive Restoration in Braselton, along with the Hayes Family Dealerships in Lawrenceville, Gainesville and Cornelia, Atlanta Dragway's 'Fast Friday' show is primarily an opportunity for drivers of street-legal vehicles to "race the strip, not the street." Racecars and motorcycles are also welcome for Test & Tune and grudge match racing on most Friday nights through November 19, and spectators are encouraged to cheer on their favorites.
