CCR-SCCA Central Carolina Region Sports Car Club of America

CCR would like to extend our condolences to the family of Steve Poe. Steve attended the last SWCCCR dinner as a guest of a CCR member. Steve was the unfortunate victim of an accident in his garage. After replacing a seal on his Corvair, the car shifted while jacking up the transmission. Even though the chassis was supported by jack stands, lifting the transmission caused the car to move and come down on Steve. Steve leaves behind a wife, brother, sister and two grown sons.

Steve’s obituary can be seen at the Greenville Online web site.

Memorials may be made to: Corvair Preservation Foundation, P.O. Box 607, Lemont, IL 60439
or to: American Heart Association, 3535 Pelham Road, Greenville, SC 29615

This unfortunate event should be a reminder to all that we must take care when working in the garage. Working under a car can be dangerous, and potentially life threatening. Please use the best equipment you can and always have someone else around when you are under a car.
