Wow, I have never heard of a trailer being stolen with a ball hitch lock. Your thief must have felt there was some rather important items inside.

Good luck with the retrieval.

Jim,

Comments like yours make me proud to be a part of this community. This was posted by Rob Ippolito:

Tremendous generosity from the South Carolina Region SCCA with a commitment to donate $1000 and two of their old RaceAmerica AC4 timer system base units. This is the same timer system that was stolen from Dixie. In addition SC Region plans to raise additional funds from proceeds at their Solo fun run at Myrtle Beach on Jan 16. Announcement posted by Nick Hallman, SC Region R.E., on their web forum here: http://www.scsportscar.com/modules/n...forumpost22817

By the way, the Dixie Board of Directors is holding a second emergency meeting tomorrow night (12-21-09) to review bids for replacing enough essential equipment to keep our 2010 Solo schedule on track.
