Thank You Southern Stock/Super Stock Association
 
I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone that is helping to get this organization off the ground. This past weekend in Reynolds was the most enjoyable race that I have been to in a long time. I think everyone I spoke to was having a good time (racers, spectators, and track personnel). We as Stock and Super Stock racers need to support this series and help it grow. Again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. See you at the next event.

Congrats to Owen on his Saturday night win.
I will be checking the mail for my $12.50 check from you Owen.
Everyone should come out and support this series. Had a great time, and I can't wait for the next one.
By the way when is the next one?

Sorry I couldn't be there-somebody's got to work to support this nasty habit! Owen, I heard I owe you some money-rumor has it you had the best reaction time along with the win Saturday night. If you or Tina will get in touch with me, I'll get the check in the mail
Way to go "Uncle Hughie"-get in touch with me. I might have to take you along to Indy to tutor Christopher. Either that, or just you and I'll go and not pick him up at the airport!!

I also enjoyed my first SSSSA race and saw a bunch of people I don't get to see too often!

I won a battery charger for being the correct predetermined entry on Saturday, won the $25 best RT in 2nd round practice on Sun. and got 1/4's on Saturday. I didn't do that well racing, but it was fun and a nice warm-up on my way to Martin, MI. Hope I can make it to more of them.

Art, glad you got the computer straightened out. It was good to see you and Alan. Jim

That's pretty good, I would have been shark bait if I would have made the trip since I have transmission problems. Trying to get them worked out, looking forward to running againt that 327 and that Firebird.

I would like to echo Owen's comments on the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association. Thanks to Jim Woods, Jim Wahl, Tina Summerton, Tom Ward, Connie, Hammer and anyone else who helped to organize and manage this race. Great job by the folks from Silver Dollar Raceway - they worked hard to quickly get the track ready to go after the Saturday afternoon thunderstorm passed through and did a great job all weekend. Thanks to RFC Chaplain Tom Ratliff for the Sunday morning service. Sean Ward did a fine job of announcing after breakage kept him from racing.

Congratulations to event winners Owen Birkett (Saturday) and Hugh Meeks (Sunday). It was great to see Woodro back in action with his new Corvette and to see Mike Pearson back with his SS/IA. We had a nice time visiting with Owen, Jim Woods, Jim Wahl, Kenny Wiggington, Jay Slane, "the Mayor", Woodro and many other folks.

Thanks again to the SSSA and track officials, racers and fans who made this special. We plan to run as many of the SSSA races as possible and can't wait for the next event!

We would like to thank the SSSSA for one, make that two great races. Again THANKS Jim, Jim, Tom, Tina & all the others that made this happen... It was one of the most fun, laid back races we have been to in a long time.Thank you Ed & Dorothy & staff of Silver Dollar for all your" hard" work. Silver Dollar is one of the most friendly tracks in the southeast. Also thanks to Kenny of Rogers Electric & Paul of Turbo Action for steping up with the extra bonus funds.One more thank you to all the racers that attented, it was good to see the old faces & to meet the new ones. Come on less do it again ! With even more racers in attendance............ James & Everett Hill , Owen, James said he would look for the brake pedal a little sooner next time. LOL. That was some great driving & a well deserved win for you!!!!

Re: Thank You Southern Stock/Super Stock Association
 
I too would like to say thanks to all the crew and i think we as racers can make this work. It was nice talking to all you guys, sorry i didn't get out and around but the sun was taking it's toll on me, boy was it hot. Maybe the next race will be a little cooler and i will get to meet more of you. But in the mean time, let's all talk this up and this reminds me of the old times when racing was fun, maybe this will bring back the fun times in Drag Racing Southern style! As for Silver Dollar, you will never meet a nicer bunch of guys and gals, anywhere!:D

Woodro I’m sure you will hear this a lot, but that is an awesome Corvette. When I grow up, I want a Jimmy Parker Race Car.

Re: Thank You Southern Stock/Super Stock Association
 
Thanks Owen, yes it is a very nice car and you deserve one because i told my wife a few years ago, you were going to be a great driver, and that my friend, you are!;)
