Big News For The SSSSA!
Following a meeting between SSSSA Board Members and over 70 members and racers at the Bradenton NHRA Division 2 Points Race, we have decided to expand the Association! This has been in the works for many months. Due to the many requests by both racers and track owners in Alabama, Louisiana and Texas the Southern Stock SuperStock Association will be forming a second Division! SSSSA Division 1 will consist of Florida and Georgia. Division 2 will consist of racers and tracks from Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. The plan will be to have each Division to offer it's own series of races and then meet at the end of the year to crown a Grand Champion. Both Divisions will operate under the same rules and regulations, making a level playing field for all racers no matter what Division a racer chooses to race in. More to come on this!
Also in the news, Arnie Martel made a presentation about Speedco's contingency program and made a $1000 donation to the SSSSA contingent on racers signing up for the program! Thank you Arnie! Also Joe Teuton Jr. of Southland Machine and Parts has committed $500 and a drum of race fuel to go to the SSSSA Grand Champion who will be crowned at the end of the year! Thanks also to the Teutons!. We have a good supply of SSSSA T-Shirts for sale @ $15 plus shipping. The shirt sales help defray the costs of running your association keeping the membership cost low. Please contact Jim Woods for shirt sales and delivery @ fastcars52@netzero.com. If you would like to become an SSSSA member, please contact Treasurer Tina Summerton @ southernstocksuperstock@yahoo..com. Membership is $20 per year. All Board Member contact info is listed at the second thread in this forum. As you can see, there are big things in the works for the SSSSA in the coming year. Our original mantra of providing a place for our racers to have a fun and safe place to race involving good family values and good payouts has obviously caught on with many racers. We now have over 100 paid members and just signed up almost 20 more this weekend. With our expansion West we look to welcome many more people into our family of Drag Racers looking for racing the fun way, the way it used to be! We enjoy a great reputation with both racers and sponsors alike do to our huge success in our first year. The Board would like to thank all the racers and sponsors for supporting and helping to make our first year such a great experience. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please contact any Board Member. Once again all Board Member's contact info in the second thread at the top of this forum. Thanks again and stay tuned! Jim Wahl @ jimwahl@embarqmail.com V.P. SSSSA

Re: Big News For The SSSSA!
Great news guys; seems that there's "change" all over the USA this year! The assylum is starting to look mighty fine with the inmates in charge.....the racing institution that is.

Re: Big News For The SSSSA!
There is a group called Texas Outsiders that races throughout Tx and La although I don't know how many are S/SS and how many are NSS maybe we could ask them to meet on neutral ground.
