(November 5-7 - Adel, Ga.) The field of racers attending the first annual Winter Series Warm Up at the new South Georgia Motorsports Park was 170 strong, with some of the toughest bracket racers in the country. This didn't stop multi-time national event winner Edmond Richardson from winning all three days and taking home $30,000. "I love this place! I should just move here and race all the time," said Richardson.
Racers were allowed to park at the facility on Thursday, and a Gambler's race was held in the evening. Steve Sisko from Iselin, N.J., became the winner when Mike Gurliaccio from Jacksonville, Fla., turned it red in the final. Sisko used a string of .000 lights for the victory. The lone semi finalist was Bob Fuller from Rogers, Ark.
