1. Hi Sue,
I am writing this as an endorsement of your Manpower2Horsepower program. You and
SMP Motorsports truly grasp one of the most important concepts of a transitioning
service-member - The civilian job search/career development. With your
Manpower2Horsepower program, you have used your available resources to show men
and women leaving our military that patriots like yourself are willing to assist them in
their respective industries.
In your program, a transitioning servicemember can experience the thrill of racing around
the dirt track which is a tangible result of hard work and dedication to a trade and the
team that makes it happen. You are savvy enough to know the ride along program is so
much more than a one-shot thrill. You use it to build a relationship with the participants
by introducing them to your crews, treating them like family (not VIP's), and showing
them such a craft may be right up their alley upon leaving military service. Then, you
offer your shops and your crews' expertise to provide informal training opportunities for
the member if they choose to visit and "intern" side-by-side with your folks.
You clearly understand that not all Marines and Soldiers want college classrooms or
office cubicles when they leave the military, so you have dedicated your resources,
coupled with your compassion and patriotism, to serve warriors. Your program allows
warriors to work hard, sweat, and get dirty with like-minded patriots. That is a very
comfortable circumstance for many of us. I appreciate your dedication and service to our
military members. Thanks for all you do!
My best,
Ed Salau

To Whom It May Concern:
Rowan Cabarrus Community College is proud to be a part of the operations of SMP
Motorsports in Mooresville, NC. Through our Motorsports Management Program, Web
Design, Office Systems Technology curricula and more, we have been able to send
students to SMP for hands-on experience and so much more.
This employer/student relationship is structured through our Cooperative Education
Program which is designed to give the students hands-on experience in their majors.
While participating in the program with SPM, the students can clarify a career
interest/goal, increase their marketability upon graduation, work in a structured
environment for learning technical skills, add relevance to classroom instruction, advance
in maturity and human relations skills, earn academic credit, enhance resumes, gain
references and work experience while using specialized facilities and state-of-the-art
equipment.
SMP offers their specialized knowledge of the industry to our students through extensive
hands-on learning, allowing the students to increase their abilities, talents and knowledge
while gaining the imperative tools they will need for their professional futures. SMP staff
take great pride in their mentoring responsibilities and relationships with their students.
It is always, with great pleasure and comfort, we support and send our students to the
staff at SMP. We know from experience, that SMP takes that “special” time to mentor,
support and grow future motorsports employees. RCCC is fortunate to have SMP as a
partner in our students’ education experience and we look forward to many years of
participation with them.
Sincerely,

4. About Manpower to Horsepower
Manpower to Horsepower is a unique program founded by Sue Roberson and SMP
Motorsports to give back to disabled veterans. The program provides a ride-along
program that is handicap accessible to those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The program utilizes custom-made late model cars
which allow a handicapped passenger the opportunity to ride shotgun around dirt tracks.
The goal for 2010 is to provide this experience at 48 events throughout North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia
Mission Statement
• To build strategic alliances with various motorsports programs and educators across the
country.
• To provide disabled veterans of our armed forces the experience of racing at the grass
roots level, providing a unique ride-along experience and provide them with an
opportunity to learn a valuable vocation and utilize that education and training within
the racing community.
• provide a visible outlet for our troops who are wounded, to show that they can still
remain engaged and productive
Current Alliances

University of Northwestern Ohio – High Performance Motorsports Program
New Marketing Partners
SMP Motorsports and Manpower to Horsepower is seeking corporate involvement in
their endeavor to provide educational assistance and stability to our wounded veterans.
Companies such as The University of Northwestern Ohio who had the 1st and still the
only High Performance Motorsports, 2 or 4 year degree program in the world, is
extremely proud of their involvement with SMP and the Manpower to Horsepower
program.
Stephen Farmer, VP of Business Development for UNOH stated, “Our University has
always supported the military in any way we can. Either providing continuing payroll and
insurance to our employees that were activated during U.S. combat operations,
discounting tuition for veterans and their immediate family, making sure our tuition rates
were well below the cap offered by VA or starting our own ROTC program.” That is why
this program is important. It helps give something back to those veterans that given
everything they have defending the freedoms we cherish so much”.

5. To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Marianne Walters and I am a Regional Captain for Soldiers' Angels, a non-
profit organization that aides and supports the troops of all military branches in the
United States. I have had the privilege of working with Sue Roberson of SMP
Motorsports.
SMP's program, Manpower to Horsepower, is an outstanding program in which to
rehabilitate the wounded veterans. The vets not only get to work with that which they
have a passion; the racecars, but they also will be able to associate with others that have
similiar abilities. This will give them a secure and chaperoned setting in which to use
thier hands and learn new skills, all the while, connecting with the outside world, thus
minimizing the PTSD effect. We all know that an idle mind is the devil's playground
and these individuals need one-on-one contact and activities.
I feel that this program would be paramount in the rehabilitation of wounded, both
veterans and non-veterans alike.
