Dear Competitors and all involved,
Pocono is now in the history books. FANTASTIC JOB to all involved !!! I want to thank our competitors who put on a great race. I want to thank our sponsors, Hawk Performance, Edwin at RaceShopper.com, MPT Industries, Zamp Helmets, Frank Cioppettini at Evergreen Performance Products and MOMO. These are the guys who believe in us, what we are doing and the future of the SCCA. MOST OF ALL I need to personally thank Darrell Anthony who is RE of NNJR. Darrell is a true friend, a visionary and one of the hardest working people for SCCA. He proposed this idea and pushed me everyday to make it happen. DARRELL on behalf of myself and everyone involved we thank you for the person you are.
Next I want to really THANK our first-time competitors for believing in this series. I met some really great people including Dan Jones and his crew coming in from PA (these guys came in from Pittsburgh area), the Gleason brothers, Doug Case who took his first ever win, Matt Rooke and John Warren who are students in engineering school doing what they love and many others. Then you got the true backbone guys of IT including Andy Bettencourt of Flatout Motorsports who has a F1-like operation and Jeff and Rob of Autotechic. These guys are the best in their businesses and promote and help us all in what we love to do. These are true gentleman, friends and competitors and I thank you guys for your support and that of your customers.
I have only heard great things from each competitor. They love the format, the prize money and the awards. Now I need to do a better job and get the word out in the publications, get more sponsors and with your help we can make this series grow, get more competitors and workers for the future growth of SCCA. I truly believe that we are the FUTURE of SCCA, something that everyone can relate to. This series will also financially benefit each region who may want to run an event. Hopefully next year we can have 8-10 events. I realize I did not mention each competitor but I thank each and everyone of you for your support. Times are very tough right now for most people but you give me the inspiration to keep working hard for our series, the SCCA and most of all for you. You have my commitment to grow this series, get the word out and in the end we can bring the cost of racing down and then hopefully more people will get involved in what we love and more importantly meet the great people that we get to be with on race weekends whom we could call "friends".
Please SPEAK UP, tell me your thoughts, ideas, potential sponsors I could approach. I want to hear everything good and bad and in the end we will make it better. I will be submitting stories to both Sports Car and GRM too.
Sincerely,
Robert Zecca
