Georgia
Winter Nationals Rescheduled for March 9th - 11th
![]()
Toccoa, Georgia - Officials with the FASTRAK Racing Series and the Toccoa Speedway announced today that the Georgia Winter Nationals originally scheduled for February 17-19 will be rescheduled for the announced make-up date of March 9-11, 2012 because of construction delays. Toccoa Speedway promoter Andy Hyde has been completing extensive remodeling and construction projects during the winter months including replacing all of the tracks outside guard railing, perimeter fencing and erecting a new scoring tower. In the course of the construction Hyde has faced several bouts of bad weather and other delays which have put the project completion severely behind schedule. "Andy and everybody has been working 7 days a week sun up to sun down when the weather would allow it and they have just run out of time. He and I spoke today and we talked with Stan Lester and we all agree it's best to change the date now instead of waiting until the last minute and create problems for people planning to be here." said Brad York Toccoa Speedway Director.
"We are certainly disappointed that we had to move the date because it was really building some momentum but we have to do what we think is going to be the best for everyone involved. I know that Andy has been working his tail off trying to get finished by the February dates but he has just had too much that he can't control slow him down. We realize that there are some other things going on that weekend and we hate that we have to change our date but it was inevitable. But let me say that people that haven't been to Toccoa are going to be in for a real surprise when they get there. Those guys have done so much with the track and facility. It is really going to be very nice when they get finished up and we will all arrive to a much nicer and safer facility because of all of their efforts." commented FASTRAK Founder and CEO Stan Lester. The event will simply change weekends with the schedule remaining exactly the same and with the same divisions on the card. Friday night, March 8th the track will be hosting an open practice session from 6 to 9 PM EST. On Saturday, March 9th the action gets underway early with gates opening at 10 AM; Drivers Meeting at 12 Noon and racing beginning PROMPTLY at 1 PM. All 4 classes will each qualify and run heat races during the Saturday program. Sunday, March 10th will be Georgia Winter Nationals Championship Day. All 4 classes will also run last chance qualifiers (as needed) and compete in their feature event. Along with a nice payday all 4 winners will take home a 5 foot tall Georgia Winter Nationals Champion's trophy. Gates will once again open at 10 AM, Drivers Meeting at 12 Noon with racing set to begin PROMPTLY at 1 PM. "We need to make sure that everyone understands that we are going to be on the track Saturday and Sunday by 1 so that we can get everything done and get folks out before it gets colder. We will need the drivers' cooperation to keep things moving along so we can get done by 6 each day." Added Lester.
Admission prices for all three days as follows: Friday: Grandstands - FREE / Pit Pass - $10 - Saturday: Grandstands - $18 / Pit Pass - $25 - Sunday: Grandstands $23 / Pit Pass - $25. Kids under 12 are FREE all 3 days.
