Subject: SMRS New Leadership

2025 New SMRS Lead

1/11/24

I am very happy to announce that Tom Wilcox will carry the torch of the Spr=
ite Midget Race Series as the lead.  Tom is the perfect person for the job =
demonstrating his leadership from his Co-Chairmanship of Blackhawk Farm Rac=
e along with his background in Program Management will make him the perfect=
 leader.  Please lend your support to Tom like you did for me.

This group is a democracy with some ground rules that were started by all o=
f us.  I know the future can be even better with Tom=92s Leadership.  Like =
all organizations there are pros and cons to any situation, but through com=
promise the majority should be met.

I would like to leave some heritage of why the SMRS was started in 2012.  A=
 couple years before SMRS was started VSCDA was questioning if they could c=
ontinue as a private club realizing they were paying more for race weekends=
 than they were taking in due to lower race entrants.  I thought we could i=
mprove that situation increasing Spridgets race attendance with a Race Seri=
es similar to what VSCDA=92s Vintage Formula Vees (VVV) had in place.  We w=
ere excited before this time to have 5 Spridgets at an event, last year we =
averaged over 19 cars per event with 36 at the Road America Healey Challeng=

Really glad to hear that someone has stepped forward! Spridget action has
grown so tremendously since "the slump" in registrations back in the 2000's=
.
Stan, you really made the camaraderie the glue with the cars the
surrounding pieces to be brought together. Your enthusiasm was
infectious...and the brats weren't bad either.
Thanks for a job well done and wishing a great future under Tom's
leadership.
