[Joe Pinkston]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I will repeat what Scott said. You S/ST racers in Fla. and anyone that might be in the area when we have one of these races need to come out and try it. Everyone at the track this weekend was happy and smiling and we all had a great time. A big "thank you" also needs to go to Jeff Geiger for bringing up the idea for putting on this race and organizing this association. I have seen Jeff and his car around for a couple of years, but we had never had the chance to speak with each other until a few weeks ago on the phone and never had met face-to-face until this past weekend. Jeff is truly a stand-up guy. Also, thanks again to the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association for letting us be there at your event, giving us such a warm welcome and giving us help and advice on how to set up our program.

Gary, Lynn & Tom; "ya'll guys" need to get out of that cold and snow and move on down here while there is still room and join in on this fun we are having. It will be a challenge, but I believe we could even teach ya'll how to speak the language we speak down here. Now Gary may be the biggest challenge, but we won't give up on him. Former TA/FC racer Bob Newberry lives about 10 miles from me and he loves it down here. In fact he was my helper today while I was working in the cemetery and Karen was back at the office goofing off figuring out how to post the weekend's race pictures. One of Nick Bastio's and Bob's crew members works with me during the week, but he and Nick had to be in Ga. today to pick up Nick's new semi-truck, so I recruited Bob to help today and he was more than willing.

Thanks again everyone.
