Please help support Amanda's effort because she is taking on a big responsibility and already doing an awesome job with Billy's photo collection! All purchases and donations will go directly to covers Billy's funeral expenses and to help t... ake care of his daughter Danielle. Danielle's mother also passed away about 10 years ago and now Billy's mom will care for her. Billy's collection is massive and also historic. It is arguably the largest documentation of st Louis area dirt racing known to exist! He has been taking photos at hundreds of racetracks all over the Midwest and beyond! It was his passion and this collection is his lifes work! All photos were taken by "photo" billy Haffer and date back over 20 years.

This collection will dissolve quickly and will be cherished by many who knew him personally! Especially photos from his final race in oskaloosa, Iowa where he took his last photos! We do have his last memory card from his bloodied camera that was with him the night he died and these photos will sell many! Thanks to everyone who have stepped up to support the photobilly family!! It is deeply appreciated!!

World of Outlaws Late Model Series Adds To 2012 Schedule With 'PhotoBilly 50' On Sept. 14 At Belle-Clair Speedway

One-Fifth-Mile Fairgrounds Oval Will Provide Unique Challenge For Touring Stars, Lead Off Doubleheader In St. Louis Area

By Kevin Kovac, WoO LMS P.R. Director

BELLEVILLE, IL – Aug. 24, 2012 – The World of Outlaws Late Model Series has added a date on Fri., Sept. 14, at Belle-Clair Speedway, setting up a big weekend doubleheader for fans in the St. Louis area.

A $10,000 top prize from the richest purse in Belle-Clair's history will be on the line in the inaugural 'PhotoBilly 50,' a race that will be run in honor of late photographer Charles Haffer Jr. A well-known figure in St. Louis racing circles, Haffer – aka 'Photobilly' – lost his life on Aug. 7 at the age of 44 in a tragic Iowa highway accident while traveling to a race.

The Belle-Clair event will combine with the Pepsi Nationals on Sat., Sept. 15, at Federated Auto Parts Speedway at I-55 in Pevely, Mo., to form a powerhouse WoO LMS weekend in the Midwest. The two tracks are separated by less than an hour's drive.

"We're very excited to announce the addition of the 'PhotoBilly 50' at Belle-Clair Speedway to the 2012 World of Outlaws Late Model Series schedule," said WoO LMS director Tim Christman. "Not only does the event create a real attractive weekend of racing near St. Louis for fans and teams, it also will be one of the most unique shows in the history of the World of Outlaws Late Model Series. It's going to be real interesting to see so many of the country's best dirt Late Model drivers testing their skills on a one-fifth-mile oval that will rank as the smallest bullring the series has ever visited."

Belle-Clair promoter Donnie Hoener is equally enthused about his fairgrounds track's World of Outlaws invasion – and honoring the memory of Haffer, who served as the speedway's official photographer for the last five years, in such a grand manner.

"He was such a great all-around guy," Hoener said of 'PhotoBilly.' "He always had a smile on his face and was ready to talk to anybody. And he had such a great rapport with all the racers, especially everybody in the Late Models and (UMP) Modifieds.

"We definitely miss him a lot, so when the opportunity to hold a World of Outlaws Late Model Series came up for us, we knew what we had to do: honor him by running the biggest race in the history of Belle-Clair Speedway in his memory. I know for sure that no one would be more excited about the Outlaws coming to Belle-Clair than him."

The race will also serve to continue Belle-Clair's growth under Hoener, who is in his second year at the helm of the track.

"We've been trying to bring new, exciting races to the track since we started promoting it," said Hoener, whose most high-profile event so far this season was a DIRTcar Summer Nationals event on June 27 won by Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill. "Having a World of Outlaws Late Model Series show just tops it all."

General admission for the Sept. 14 WoO LMS event at Belle-Clair will be $30, with children 12-and-under admitted free of charge. Pit passes will cost $35 for DIRTcar members and $40 for non-members.

Pit gates are scheduled to open at 3 p.m. CT and the grandstands will be unlocked at 5 p.m. Qualifying is set to begin at 6:45 p.m., followed by racing at 7:15 p.m.

Action for the DIRTcar UMP Modifieds ($750 to win) and UMP Sportsman ($400 to win) will also be on the evening's agenda.

Both the Belle-Clair and Federated Auto Parts Speedway at I-55 WoO LMS events will be contested under the DIRTcar Hoosier tire rule. Three compounds – LM 20, 30 and 40 – will be permitted for use.
