DESCRIPTION
Winged Sprints, Mods, Motorcycles.
Citation preview
We’ve done some wild things in the past at Five Flags Speedway, but to-
night we are going to take it to “X-treme” measures. We’re calling it Open Wheel Mania with Motorcycles racing, a 50 lap Open Wheel Modified feature and we are topping it off with a first time appearance of the X-treme Sprint Cars. Your first reaction may be “Oh I’ve seen Sprints here before and yes, they are light-ing fast”. Let me say; YOU AIN’T SEEN THESE CARS BEFORE.
For the first time ever the Must See Racing X-treme Sprint Cars will invade
our super-fast little half mile oval. These Winged Sprints are based in the Mid-West and run 410 c.i. engines. You may ask what is the difference with these and the TBARA Sprints. The engines. The Tampa Bay cars run a 360 c.i. engine and have roughly 100 less horsepower. As of now the track record is 13.885 seconds. Look for that to fall tonight. We had two X-treme sprints practice a couple weeks ago, and both were under the record.
Let’s not forget congratulations to our feature winners back on March 30th.
In the Allen Turner Hyundai 100 for the Pro Late Models, Mike Garvey, now liv-ing in Pensacola, came from the rear to
claim the victory. Shanna Ard won the Sportsmen feature, while last year’s track cham-pion Gary Goodwin won the Bomber event.
We’re back on April 27th with the sec-ond round for the Super Late Mod-
els plus Sportsmen and Bombers. Let me also remind you about “IN THE GROVE” on BLAB-TV. It’s a live call in show and Tim and I will keep you up to date on all upcoming events. Watch Tuesday night at 8:00pm to 9:00 pm. Give us a call with your questions. We now have a much larger viewing area allowing us to reach over 500,000 house-holds. You can also pick it up at 5flagsspeedway.com. See ya in the pits!

What makes the Sprints go so fast? They took all the unnecessary parts off. Things that add weight like starters, transmissions, and heavy frames. What they kept to go fast include 410 cubic inch engine producing 800 plus horsepower, wings to force the rear tires into the pavement, wider tires, the rear is 22 inches wide. Even with this, they weigh only1600 pounds. And there is the Methanol fuel. They gotta go fast, we’re on TV!
Sat, April 28th, at 11am college and high school
students drive their home built electric cars in the annualElectrathon 120.
It is free to watch.
Meet Track Chaplain Wayne Butts Faithful Servant to Pensacola’s High Banks
By Chuck Corder
Fate always finds fans at Five Flags Speedway.About five years ago, Liberty Church Associate Pastor Wayne Butts made a date night with his wife Sue, encouraging her to see some races. It was a special pastime Sue enjoyed as child with her father, who she had lost a few years back. So the couple went that evening and a day later Wayne ran into Fred Zobel, who had given the race invocation. As a man of the ministry himself, Butts will tell you that that night wasn’t so much fate as faith. For the next year, Butts would occa-sionally fill in on race nights for the often-trav-eling Zobel until Zobel finally said, “You just go ahead and do it.” Butts knew the marriage of two of his favorite things was a no-brainer. “I’ve been a longtime race fan, and I’m a longtime people fan,” said Butts, a Mobile native who worked an ambulance for Mobile International Speedway in the 1970s. “Putting the two together, it gives me a place to hang out and do things for oth-ers.” And here’s what Butts wants others to know. His blessings don’t just begin and end with the pre-ceremony prayer. “I really want people to know Five Flags has a chaplain available,” he said. “The Bible tells us rejoice with those that rejoice, mourn with those that mourn.
This is the kind of smoke we like to see here.
