This past weekend at the super chevy event one of our racers Hugh Meeks had his t-top brake on his trip down.Joe went above and beyond the call of duty to help find one so he spent most of the day saturday on the phone and did not stop till he had what we needed.Joe does not even run stock or super stock he races in super street i think what he did for us is just proof of what a great person he is.
THANK YOU JOE on behalf of the ssssa THANK YOU YOU ARE THE BEST>

Sean;
You need to tell the whole story when you tell it. ![]() What I did was nothing special. I just passed along one of many favors that I have recieved in the past from other racers. Sean, you know that this is the same thing we have seen done by your dad and many of the other great racers you and I have grew up around. I'm not patting myself on the back in saying this, but afterwards Hugh tried to offer me money for the time and fuel involved in getting what he needed. I declined and told him that he would probably have the opprotunity to do a favor for another racer in the future, and that racer may be me one day. That is the #1 reason racing is so enjoyable and I have the desire to be involved in it as long as the good Lord will give me life and the ability to do so. The people you get to meet and the friends you make are the greatest. Now off this subject. Everyone please keep the family of Doug McRobie in your thoughts and prayers. Doug was a Super Gas racer from Ohio who was involved in a fatal accident yesterday at the Jegs Sportsnationals race in Ohio. Check over on the .90 section of this site and read the post by the people that knew Doug well as they tell about what a great person he was. It will really touch your hearts. Thanks Sean for those unwarranted props, You and everyone involved with the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association are some of the greatest people I have ever known.

Look what you have done now Sean. You have stired up a response from my 2nd favorite yankee racer.
When it comes to favors I have recieved, Gary is high on the list with the help and advice he gave me free of charge on how to set up and figure out my throttle stop. Gary, you have to be regulated to being my 2nd favorite yankee racer because Lynn is simply better looking than you. LOL. Thanks guys.

Joe,
Whether or not you think you did something special, we do! From all of us at the SSSSA, a big thank you and Hammer for spending a huge amount of time finding Hugh the T-Top so he could race. I bet Hugh thinks you are the man to! I hope you and your son had a good time at the race. I hope to see you again soon.Jim
