SSSSA & SSSRA Dec. 6 @ Gainesville

[Joe Pinkston]

Sorry to have to announce this, but the Southern Super Series Racing Association WILL NOT be having a race at Gainesville Raceway on Dec. 6, 2008. However, the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association WILL be having their final race of the year there as previously announced. The word I received from Jeff Geiger today is after talking with the promoters of the Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac event, they felt that would not be enough time to run their race, the SSSSA (stock & super stock) race and our SSSRA race (S/ST & S/G) during the daylight hours. The fee that the BOP group pays for renting the track is set and aparently increases significantly if the track lights have to be turned on to complete the event after dark. The people from the BOP group already had the agreement to host the SSSSA for this event, but felt they might not be able to accommodate us in the time frame they have to work with, which is understandable. We do want to thank them for their consideration and hopefully we can get together on another race in the future.

I do know that Jeff is working along with Jim Wood and other members of the SSSSA in talking with various track operators about setting up a schedule for the 2009 season.

Thanks to everyone that has supported the Southern Super Series Racing Association in our efforts to get started. Please take the time to let other .90 racers know about the fun time we are having and invite them to join us at a future event.

Remeber the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association will run at Gainesville on Dec. 6th, so if you can, let's go there and show our support for them in return for the help and support they have given to us.
