Solutions Group Racing Team Debuts in Style at the Emporia Twilight
Track Meet!
The
SSG Racing Team made a flashy debut at the Emporia Twilight Meet
in late March. Bobby Reyes, a Document Imaging Specialist for
the Simple Solutions Group, blazed a trail in winning the Bill
Tidwell 800. Conditions weren’t ideal, with wind gusting
north of 30mph.
“It
was a bit windy today, so strategy played a major role in today’s
race”, said Reyes, who took the lead in the final 200 meters
to run away with the victory. “It was great to hear ‘from
Simple Solutions Group’ over the loud speakers, I really
wanted to make sure I raced well for the team’s debut”.
