Needmore Speedway and the Georgia Automobile Racing Hall of Fame, South Georgia Chapter will add a special twist to their regular racing program, Saturday night, July 14th. Several former drivers who raced at Thunderbowl Speedway and I-75 Speedway will be on hand for a special autograph session before the races that night. Several former drivers have been invited to the event including Eddie MacDonald, Louie Radney Jr., Sputter Ragan, Bill O'Neal, Jimmy Murphy, Ed Mansfield, Curtis Morgan, Ed Brown, Rance Phillips, Ronnie Lieupo, Charles Hatch, and Yankee Smith to name a few. In addition to the autograph session, race fans will be treated to a special 15 lap feature for the open wheel modified "Skeeter Cars". Many of the younger race fans have never had the opportunity to see these cars in competition, so be sure to bring the kids.
