A $5.00 night at any race track is always

a big hit with the fans, but when you throw in a Demolition Derby to the already exciting sched-ule the fans should all go home happy tonight. Demo Derby rules are on the back page.

Along with tonight’s Demo Derby will be

some good ole down home racing with a 50 lap West Florida Coat-ings Sportsman feature, Modifieds and Butler U-Pull-It Bombers. How about all that for just $5.00? Oh, but wait, let’s throw in a Faster Pastor race. The pastors racing tonight are listed on page 3.

We thank our long time track chap-

lain Wayne Butts from Liberty Church North for putting out the call to the pastors, and thanks to the drivers for donating the use of their race cars to a stranger tonight.

With only four weeks of racing left in the

regular 2012 season, things are really starting to heat up. After tonight we return with the Allen Turner Hyundai 100 for the Pro Late Models.

As you noticed in our last Pro Late Model

race the car count was pretty healthy and we expect that to continue for the next two races for the Pro’s on August 24th and September 29th. September 29th is a Saturday race as that will be our Night of Champions for PLM, Modifieds, Sportsman and Bombers.

Don’t think I skipped over September 21st

because I just want to single it out. This will be the final Buddy’s Home Furnishings Blizzard Series race for the Super Late Models and a cham-pion will be crowned. It will also be the final shake down race for these cars as they prepare for the 45th Annual Snowball Derby©. Derby tickets go on sale Wednesday the 15th, same price as last year. Get yours soon to reserve your seat.

Who is the faster pastor?

Dash and Win; vs Crash and WinI can guarantee you a stel-

lar field of the finest Super Lates in the country that night. Expect drivers from all directions plus Canada We will also crown the 2012 Super Stock Champ on the same night.

Who wants to put a wager on ex Pro

Late Model driver Ronnie Smith on making two in a row in the Demo Derby?

Before you bet against him, let me remind you he’s had a lot of expe-

rience in tearing things up. Read Chuck Corder’s story on Ronnie on page 2. “Go Ronnie Smith”!! Tonight is also

United Cerebral Palsy night, so please be generous.

Finally, Tuesday is elec-tion day in Florida. We

are delighted to have the candidates from Santa Rosa and Escambia who are on the ballot as our guests. Hope you have a chance to say hi and meet them. Until next time, bring a friend and enjoy the races.

Ronnie Smith knows he has the perfect car to defend his Demolition Derby title. How is the 40 year old so sure? Because it’s the same Crown Victoria LTD that won the heavy metal-crunching championship last year.

“It has been sitting in a lot all year,” Smith said. “We brought it to the shop the other day. We had to put a tire and wheel on it. Some new spark plugs and we changed the gas. It doesn’t look like a ‘Demo’ Derby car.”

Smith hopes to be the last man stand-ing once again. Despite what the constant kidder might have you believe. “It’s an honor to have that title. I’d rather it be the Snowball Derby than a Demo Derby, but I guess you take whatever you can get,” Smith joked. “I told my wife earlier, it must be pretty bad if I’m getting recognition for crashin’ up cars.”

The one-time Allen Turner Pro Late Model track champion recalled some fond memo-ries when the old beat-up Crown Vic plopped down at the shop earlier this week.

“We got the cobwebs out of it and the bugs. Literally, bugs,” Smith said. “There’s no telling what has been living in there for the year. I said we should set some of those fumigate bombs just to be on the safe side.” Otherwise the car looks prime with few signs of its abusive history. “We did a lotta hittin’ last year. Hopefully, I don’t get teamed up on. A couple people have been saying I have a bull’s eye on my back and they’re going to try and knock me out quick.” Don’t bet on that. Champions, whether they’re from Snowball Derby or Demolition Derby lore, have an instinct to reign supreme. Ronnie Smith is a former Marine who came out of the stands to pursue his racing dreams.
