Some race fans will say “It doesn’t

matter if the top speed of any race is 80 mph or 180 mph, as long as they all are running the same speed, it should be a god race”. On the other hand some fans will say “Turn um loose and let them run as fast as they can possi-bly go”. Well, you “turn um loose” fans will get your way tonight at this famous ole half mile.

The “Must S e e

R a c i n g Extreme S p r i n t Cars” are in town tonight and they only know one speed and that is WIDE OPEN! These Winged Warriors do not know the word “FEAR”. Last year Brian Gerster turned the fastest lap ever at Five Flags Speedway with a blis-tering 13.203 seconds. Folks, that’s an aver-age speed of 136 MPH. Don’t be surprised if some of these fearless driver’s get into the 12 second bracket.

Next, first Blizzard Race of the year, as part of the Southern Super Series

Remember last year, Pollard and Hemric 1 point difference on who was the SSS champ. Now this year with 2 races completed, and 2 new drivers with wins, Casey Roderick and Donnie Wilson, the focus is on the Gulf Coast.

The Southern Super Series runs here in 2 weeks. It has become the biggest series in Super Late Model Racing in the Southeast. Competition is strong, and a stout field of the cars that run the Snowball Derby will be in town to compete in #3 and #4 (in Mobile the next nite) in the 16 race series.

Helberg hopes to make his third appearance at America’s Favorite Home Track a memorable one.

“I wanna do well, especially after not being too happy with the way the last two races went down there,” said Helberg, who finished a respectable fourth last year after a late crashed spoiled things in 2012. “If we could get a win, I’d be really happy.”

He’ll have to contend with a loaded XSS field that also includes the man that set the current overall Five Flags track record last season Brian Gerster.

Six different drivers held the record at one point during that unseason-ably cool March evening last year. When the debris and engines settled, Brian Gerster was on top. Now a new year and a new chal-lenge.

Chalk another one up for Five Flags Speedway. When Californian winged sprints car driver JoJo Helberg (who is pictured on the front page) first laid eyes on the famed half-mile oval two years ago, he didn’t understand what all the fuss was about.

A summer spent in North Carolina, working alongside his brother-in-law who is a diehard late model fan changed all of that.

Helberg learned the history of Five Flags, thus the Snowball Derby, and how some of racing’s biggest names used Pensacola’s high banks as a springboard to decorated careers.

“I’m a West Coast guy. We tend to be a little blind to a lotta other tracks and events,” the 23 year old admitted. “But my brother-in law really opened my eyes to how big a deal Five Flags is.”
