Thank you to everyone involved and all those that generously contributed to The Children’s Hospital!

Every year the 24 is a challenge and the rain made it even harder. Congratulations to all the teams that participated, sticking it out as long as possible in the far from ideal conditions is a true testament to how hard core everyone that participates is. The race, even in ideal conditions, is a true test of resolve, endurance, planning, and commitment.

We haven’t haven’t had a chance to tally the amount raised for Children’s but there was over $350 contributed by racers, friends, and family that were at the race.

Thank you everyone!

What a race!

This event was a true challenge on every level. I cannot express how much “miserable fun” I had. This was a truly a GREAT racing experience. Congratulations to the Karting Coach team and their drivers Mike Weatherman, Mark Lubischer, Logan Kirk, David Zippie, Anthony Giannone, and Dale Kisler-Collins.

I personally want to thank Doghouse Racing/Team Urban. Mike, Sam and the Urban family, John, Jack and the Bradley family, Mike, Tyler and the Edwards family, Dave Z, Tyler and Lori Hinton, Tim Otto, Robert Hanley, Mike Burrell, Barry Lewis, Stacey Hill, and my wife Paula for all the outstanding driving, mechanics, and support.

This is a great challenge that any karter, tuner, or enthusiast must participate in.There is so much involved to go 24 hours. If you have a kart, some friends, and the need for a challenge, I encourage you to put a team together for next years race. You might have a kart that you cant sell, or dont have time to race sitting around. Freshen the engine, build the kart to last and come have fun.

Oh yeah, BIG thanks to Jim and crew for putting on the show!

Mike I want to personally thank you and your team for raising money for The Childrens Hospital!! The staff there saved my sons life. My son is a former karter and was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in July of 2008. Today he is free of disease and alive and well. Without people like you and your team The Childrens Hospital may not be able to help the Thousands of Children that they treat every year. Again THANK YOU!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
