I want to thank Jim for all the hard work putting this together and everybody else that worked. I had a great time. The last time my car ran Super Stock was 1974. I almost loaded up after my first time run when I was .6 over the index and breaking up all the way down the track. I sat out the second qualifying run but after retarding the timing a little I was only .3 over the index on my second qualifying run and not breaking up as bad.
I got quicker every round until I broke out.
Thanks

Thumbs up Re: Southern S/ss Association

Thanks to all who came out and shared a great day with us! Yeah, it was hot! It's a good thing I have A/C in the race car! Congrats also to Dana Summerton, who won the Perfect Light award in the third round! This 17 year old is gunna be tough! Tina is probably still smiling. On the way home I was thinking, I am so thankful that Jim Woods (our new Association President!) worked so hard to make this happen. Jim made hundreds of phone calls and emails for us to be able to do what we have only dreamed of doing in the past. Hopefully this was just a beginning, and what a great one it was! I want to thank all of you for electing me VP of the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association. It is a great honor and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will do my best to help Jim continue to make these races the most FUN you have ever attended. Please email me with your suggestions, comments and ideas for future races. It's up to all of us to help promote these races, so if you had a good time, tell another racer and get them to come out to the next one!

Special thanks to Gene and Lakeland Motorsports Park for hosting our first of many races. Also to the many worker who helped with the track prep, staging lanes, ticket booth, concession stand and medic for no pay!

After elections at the meeting on Sunday, here are your officers of the Southern Stock/Super Stock Association:

President and Race Director..........Jim "Tanker" Woods
VP........................................... Jim "What round is it?" Wahl
Sec/Treasurer..............................Tina "I don't have a pencil" Summerton
Photographer/News Letter.............Sean "Where's my camera" Hanning
Co Race Director..........................Tom "Super Wagon" Ward

More to come!!!!!

A big thanks for nothing,(and me getting home at 10:45 last night) to this guy. I used to think that car was cool:

Thumbs down Re: Southern S/ss Association

FYI
Just for the info of those who were not there, the '32 Hot Rod in the above picture decided to show us what kind of rods were in that small block Cheby on the VERY FIRST pass of the day! This caused a rather long down time due to the fact he also dumped oil down the entire track's right lane! Yeah, Thanks Buddy! Jim

The show went real well yesterday despite traction issues. I would have really liked to particiapated but my time will come. Congrats to the winner and thanks to Jim Woods for organizing this. I really hope this takes off, it would be killer if we could take the top guys in our association and run the top guys from the Roxboro/Piedmont Association.
