Summerville Raceway
Site Of Night Races
By JOYCE WHITED
A racinf event will be held
Saturday, June 28, at Summer
ville Raceway. For the first
time ever in this area,
southern-style drag racing,
sanctioned by Southeastern
Four-Wheel Drive Racing
Association, will be held at
night.
Trophies will be awarded in
two-wheel drive, four-wheel
drive, lightweight big block,
heavyweight bi% block,
lightweight small block and
heavyweight small block
classes. S:J)er size trophies will
be awarded for first and second
place in each of the classes.
In® addition, first and se
cond place winners in each
class will run heads-up for cash
prizes.
Time scored for the races is
tabulated by officials of the
Southeastern Four-Wheel
Drive Racing Association.
Speeds greater than 100
miles per hour are reached on
the 300-foot raceway. The local
track record is 3.35 seconds
ela{sed time with speeds up to
122 miles per hour. “Even with
speeds over 100 miles per
hour,” said a local spokesman,
*‘fewer people are hurt in four
wheel gre:gs than any other
motorized sport.”’ According to
owners of Summerville
Raceway, rules of the
Southeastern Association re
quire that drivers wear a
helmet and seat belt, and a fire
extinguisher must be in the
automobile. The association
rules also require that open

rehabilitation programs. More important
than the money, however, is the message
that the program will send: a “can-do”
message that people who are down on their
luck — physically, emotionally, spiritual
ly — can with a little help be brought back
into productive society.
In introducing the national awards pro
gram, J.M. Foundation President
Jeremiah Milbank, Jr., noted that more
than 5,000 vocational facilities serve
several hundred thousand disabled people
each year. Yet, he said, very little is done
to identify and reward the outstanding
programs in these centers — programs
that might be copied successfully by other
service agencies.
One of the problems with government
prograins, vi course, is that they are rigid.
There is very little experimentation. The
bureaucrats decide up front what will
work, and if it doesn’t they blame their
failure on lack of money.
The J. M. Foundation awards program
is intended to identify not only those pro
grams which work, but to encourage
creativity, experimentation, and
efficiency.
