HHJ/Don Moncrief ML"’"" Bird captures thriller at Cordele By Marie Clark Cordele Speedway CORDELE lt was an action-packed night of racing with a lot of side-by-side rac ing and numerous challenges for the lead Saturday at Cordele Speedway. In by far one of the best races this year Cairo’s Vincent Williams took the lead at the start of the Pure Stock feature with Andersonville’s Jason Price close on his bumper and the first six cars bumper-to bumper and door-to-door for the entire feature event. As the cars came around for the second lap, Doerun’s Bobby Jackson made his way past fellow resident Jordan Hembrie with Macon’s Arty Bird following close behind and making the same pass. On the restart after a lap CAMPBELL From page 1B involved grabbing my very sore elbow, which invoked a response of my trying to whack him over the head with a socket wrench. He diagnosed me with pos sible cellulitis, which in med ical terms means, “a disease that Nick does not have.” I could have gone in there with a harpoon sticking in my elbow and still been diag nosed with “cellulitis.” Since he wasn’t sure what it was, he scheduled a doc tor’s appointment for me. The next morning at the doctor’s office, I was waiting to be called when I saw Mike walking around. I made my way back into the physical therapy section, where other trainers were doing impor tant rehab exercises with their patients. Mike was (I’m not making this up) changing air condi tioning filters. Granted, this does not have anything to do with the plot of the column, but like I said before, I try to get my in cheap shots on him when I can. The doctor decided that the sore was a brown recluse bite and prescribed some antibiotics. Two days later, when the swelling did not subside, he Softball team wins two titles Submitted A team of 40-and-older softball players - most of which reside in Warner Robins - recently placed first in the ASA and USSSA state tournament. The team, which is spon sored by and named after Stokes & Sons has had a successful season said head coach Eddie Harman. “They have played in six tourna ments since February. They Touching base fsir 31 i Hl jjfyifci three caution, Williams held the lead and the battle was on for third through sixth as Bird was moving to the front on the outside. From there the fans got their monies worth as there was a lot of beating and bang ing among the top six cars of Williams, Bird, Price, Merle Diem Bobby Jackson and Billy Nipper. The six swapped places sev eral times over the next 10 laps with Bird eventually coming out on top. The rest of the finishing order got jumbled after Price and Nipper continued bang ing after the race. Both were disqualified. It was still not over after all that because fourth-place fin isher Jason Hembrie protest ed third place finisher Vincent Williams and Williams put me on some stronger stuff called “Augmentin.” If I am not mistaken, this is the same type stuff the CIA gives to its suspects when they refuse to talk: “Who are you working for? Maybe a stronger dose of Augmentin will make you talk.” I ultimately had to take the medicine, even though my body was sending signals in the form of migraines advising against. Since the condition of my elbow was pretty bad, I was told that the only way I would be able to play on Friday night would be to have Mike clean it before the game. Only I was left out of the loop about a little secret. It seems that “have Mike clean it” was code for “have Mike remove a chunk of Nick’s elbow while Nick simultaneously tries to bop Mike in the nose with a golf club.” Either that or Mike was doing unnecessary surgery in order to get revenge for previous things I’ve written about him. When we arrived at the game, Mike had to wrap up my arm. “Wrap up” does not begin to describe all the padding I had on my elbow. placed second in the ISA Winter Nationals.” In regard to the state tournaments, the team played seven games in the first and nine in the second. “In both they had to come back through the loser’s bracket to win,” said Harman. To inquire about joining or sponsoring the team for the 2004 season, contact Harman at 213-0919. refused to tear down because he had tickets to the NASCAR Talladega race and did not want to come back on Sunday to tear down his race car. The final finishing order was: Bird for the second week in a row followed by Merle Diem Jordan Hembrie, Penny Templeton and Craig Shiver. In the other racing brack ets, Macon’s Wayne Day won the Enduro feature, while Kathleen’s Billy Chancy was best at Mini Stock. Wayne Barfield won the Super Street feature, Bluffton’s Hunter Durham bulled his way to the front in Legends, Bacon ton’s Travis Stone captured the Hobby feature edging out Perry’s Randy Woodard and Josh McCullam from Lizella earned first in the Bandolero. It would have been able to ward off major nuclear attacks with this padding. I am thankful to say that besides a hole in my elbow, there were no major compli cations from my latest encounter with nature. If you see me on the street though, be sure to make a point to come up and firmly grab my right elbow. o Aviation golf winners Winners of the Museum of Aviation Golf Tournament held this past week at the Landings are as follows: Thursday results: 1 Charlie CantreH, Mike Kaplan, Bruce Bryant and Jim Encinas 2 Bin Dunham, Bill Weaver, Stuart McCranie, Rick Noite 3 Tom Twomey, George Rhodes, Darryl Scott and Paul Hicks 4 Bill Brown, Don Schriber, Ted Clark and Nelson Rosa Friday 8 a.m. results: 1 Aaron Cooper, Mark Warner, Michael Nawrocki and Tim Swinney 2 Sebie Lacey, Dennis Hanson, Snyder Chapman and Kevin Baggett 3 Scott Burlingame, Sarah Parris, Mark Rowell and Daniel Langevine . 4 Greg Postulks, Raj Soin, Jim Clark and Bob Shuey Friday 1:30 p.m. results: 1 Jessica Wilson, Bruce Hart, Troy Hubbard and Scott Winner 2 Sebie Lacey, Dennis Hanson, Ron Baggett and Billy Blackmon 3 Jeff Smith, G.L.

It’s a great way to raise awareness and funds. Golf courses typically reduce their rates in order to accommodate the various groups. The prices range from S3O to S2OO per person in our area. They are usually one day, 18-hole events. The format is typically a four-person scramble, a team event, which allows for a wide range of playing abilities. Getting people together for a good cause is a wonder ful thing. I recently played in a ben efit for a young girl who had lost her leg in a lawnmower accident. Her name is Jordan Kozloski. Her parents, Mike and Sandy, organized a great event at the Landings Golf Club. It included 18 holes of golf, dinner and prizes. The gift was truly mine for hav ing been invited.
