THE OFFSHORE SUPER SERIES AND SMOKIN’ THE SOUND HONOR JIM SIMMONS
June 9, 2011
The annual prestigious Randy Linebach Lighthouse award was presented this year to Jim Simmons of Simmons Racing. The recipient of this perpetual sportsmanship award is selected by vote of the OSS membership for the racer in any class demonstrating exceptional teamwork, sportsmanship and camaraderie. The award is given each year by the Smokin’ The Sound Race Producers and presented by the members of Team Airborne who are currently on the OSS staff.
Simmons said ” It was quite a surprise and I had no words for this incredible honor; I am still speechless and will always continue to work with the offshore spirit. I plan to represent the award and work with my peers to help each other. I also believe in what OSS, APBA and P1 are working on for the future of performance racing.”
Simmons continued to state ” It’s important to have standing rules and with the joint strength of APBA and P1 our respect in the industry is a testament to this. We have the best thing going! I was overwhelmed by this and will work hard to continue the tradition. This is our Family!!!”
