You know what that means….less than 8 months until Christmas!!!!! AND only 5 months left in the 2005 SARRC Season! Time flies while you’re trying to edit a newsletter! That’s why this issue is a “smidgeon” late. I was hard-pressed to fill it with anything worthwhile, then all of a sudden...I have all kinds of interesting happenings to include! The Jim Stark was a roaring success, with over 300 entries for the weekend! Results are in this issue, and a few pictures thanks to some really great formula guys! Also, Art Thompson, of Chattanooga Region, has a very interesting write-up of the event. The Jax area Solo2 group had an event April 16. I have results, and Douglas Gollnick was gracious enough to supply photos. Thank you, Doug! As seen on the front cover, a few of our Region’s members participated in a car show at Orange Park High School. Full write-up and pics are here, thanks to Susan and Dave Bacher. There are many more interesting items in this issue, so please enjoy. And, as always, if you come across something that you know isn’t accurate, please drop me a line!
