The emotions were all there, the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat but through it all were examples of competitors helping each other, examples of the best of class racing. I hope this was the beginning of something great. Thanks again! Mike McMahan 2543 H/SA



Well said Mike! You are a class act (get it, class act?). Even though I wasn't able to be there would like to go a little further with Mikes remarks. I watched for two days on the live feed which was the finest live Sportsman race production I have ever seen! Great job MotorMania, you have out done yourselves once again. From MM's humble beginnings with the IHRA races to the S/SS Showdown you are setting the standards in Sportsman Drag Racing video!
Also to the sponsors of the race. We all know there would be no race without the generous sponsorships both large and small. I know how extremely difficult it is to put a race together with decent payouts. You guys (too many to name, we know who you are) stepped up for Bo and crew like real champs! Thank you!
Last but not least, huge thanks to Ozzy Moya and his South Georgia Motorsports Park crew! Calling it a well oiled machine doesn't even start to describe them. I have been dealing with them as President of the SSSSA for many, many years and they have never failed us! Ozzy's tracks, OSW and SGMP are among the top tracks in the country and this type of race shows it.
I wish this type of race could become more frequent so we wouldn't have to depend on the NHRA so much to get our Class Race fix, but that will take more than wishing and a lot of dedication and hard work such as Bo, Jason and crew put forth. Thank you to all those who chose to participate. Without all you there wouldn't have been all the action and color we witnessed. Thanks to all! Jim Wahl, 2239 I/SA. President, SSSSA.

Support your local S/SS Associations!

I got to watch some of the event and it looked pretty cool. Getting to race for some bigger doe like the bracket races.

Like more cow bell (SNL reference for you young'ins), we need more Randi Lynn announcing. Nice candor and some inside baseball info. I could see her doing national events and helping explain class racing to the spectators.

33,000 views Friday and 33,000 views Saturday on Motor Mania. This event will be hard to surpass. Had an absolute ball. Other than the wind, there was really nothing to bitch about....nothin. Facility, track prep, payout, organization, appreciation, originality, and talent level down there was through the roof ..... Thanks to all...

I have to agree with Jeff. This was a first class deal. Every racer there was high caliber. You had to be on the bulb and the dial to even think about going rounds. SGMP was a great venue for this type of event. Sure hope there is another next year. If you weren’t there you missed being part of class racing history. Big thanks to Bo, Jason and Dave. Also the rest of the crew and workers that made this possible.
It was good to meet you Jeff. Congrats on the #1 qualifying position.

Didn't they have some sort of points contest for most round wins or something like that? Who won that?
