Billie Harvey Memorial Now a Part of the United Promoters Late Model Series

[ScottyMac]

We are proud to officially announce that the 6th Annual Billie Harvey Memorial Race will now be part of the Florida United Promoters Series and will run April. 20, 2013 with a practice on Friday April 19th, 2013 from 5-10 at Auburndale Speedway. I want to personally thank Rick Williams (FUPS) for asking us to join their series and Rex Guy (Auburndale Speedway) for hosting our event. It is nice to have our traditional third Saturday in April date back and know we are scheduled in advance to make this a bigger and better race. After talking to Rick and Rex we feel better about the car count and people we are working with than I have in the last 2 years. We will be GIVING AWAY to the racers 55 gallons of race fuel as we did the 1st four years. Thanks to Southern Race Fuels and Sunoco Racing Fuels for the donation. Long time employee Rick Williams was very instrumental in making this happen. HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE!!

Billie Harvey Memorial Race

Wanted to send thanks out to Jimbo Chadwick for keeping Billie Harvey's memory alive with the Billie Harvey Memorial Race this Saturday night at Auburndale Speedway, April 20th. Hope to see all late model drivers at Auburndale Speedway in support of Billie's memory as he would have been there for you if he were alive.

Sounds like they plan on putting on a good show! Too far to drive for 50% plus chance of rain! Damn mother nature on the weekend!

[Rick Williams]

were are the rest of the cars should have had 23-25 supers there??????

[modmini55]

Heard its raining there now a little bit.

[elmer]

That's a disappointing show of cars for a touring series. Especially since no other track had them last night.

[SSMotorsports14]

I'm sure the threat of rain had a lot to do with the smaller than normal car count. After all several tracks had to cancel due to weather.

[racer bob]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ONE LAP WONDER (jonathan guy) ???

[Matt Albee]

Looking over the names of the SLM drivers, it's just a regular FUPS show. And not even all of the FUPS drivers showed up. I've already expressed my feelings on paying to see one of these FUPS races before and leaving the track feeling that I've been cheated.
I hope the Billie Harvey race grows again in the future, i've seen much better car counts for this race in the past. I don't doubt that the weather played a part in the car count, but I think it has far more to do with the series itself than the weather.

[racer bob]

the fups series i think lost a gfew good cars and drivers russel, perkins schofield , campi, and i think there are more is it the track or the promoter some of them don't even show for a special event races .???????WHATS UP

The rain,or the threat of it probably scared off a couple

Too bad.A field of 18 cars started the feature,with 2500 to the winner (Wayne Anderson) plus,20 bucks per lap,in laps led.Anderson led all but 6 laps with Billy Bigley leading the 6.

Bigley and Anderson were side-by-side for 12 laps,but Bigley burned up his brakes and had none at the end.Bigley did all he could do to retain 5th.

Dutilly,Webster, and Doerr never reallty challeged Anderson.Still a good race,although the weather did get cool.Next time i'll remember a jacket.
