Sadly I am resigning from the S/SS Races

In case you missed my post in The Tri-State Stock/Super Stock Association forum

Hello and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone ! I hope it was a great one for you all.

Sadly, I am resigning as President of The TSSSSA. My health, which has been on the decline for several years, has unfortunately caught up to me. Some of you know that I was diagnosed with M.S. August 12, 2010. So I will not be doing the S/SS Races any longer. But, if anyone would like to stop by my house to learn how to do the races, please let me know.

I want to thank everyone who competed with us in the twenty-plus years I have been doing these races. Also a big thank you to Tom Lang for giving me the chance; first as announcer in 1997 in our first year and to take over in 1999.

You will all be missed.

Mike Carr and my mother Wendy and my late father Gary

Best wishes Sir.

Mike, sorry to hear your health is bad.
I know it is hard to walk away from anything you have a passion for. Wishing the best for you.

Larry Hill · 12-29-2018, 07:25 PM

Mike I still remember that favor you did for me Wednesday at Indy. Thanks again and good luck.

Mike, I admire you immensely for your dedication to the task of running the series despite the handicap posed by your health concerns. If someone can step in to keep it going, I hope that you and Mom will be able to enjoy the racing as long as you are able to get out to a track. I'm so glad that I was at the Mason Dixon race in November....for many reasons!

Mike, You know I have walked in your shoes, every year brings more problems. Fight it as much as you can, if it was not for my wife I would have gone down for count 2 years ago. I know its hard just dont give up. I am using a walker, next stop is a wheelcharir that sits in the corner. Stay positive, Regards, bp

Mike, very sorry to hear about your health issues. I wish you nothing but the best.

Bruce Fulper · 12-30-2018, 03:11 PM

C'mon scientist, fix Mike. We need him out there!!!! Good luck brother. Hope to see you out there somewhere sometime.

Mike,

Sorry to hear that you won't be able to continue running the association. The events I was able to attend were always well run. I am honored to have been able to share your last winner's circle as association president.

I wish you the best of luck, Mike. Unfortunately, it seems the older we get the more problems can happen. I have my own health issues that keep me from racing as much as I used to, that is why I couldn't attend your race. I always like the Mason Dixon race, and always looked foward to it. Thank you for everything you have done. Pat
