Hey Guys, IMI has donated a set of tires and an annual Membership! Thats a $500 value! Plus Tires!

Thank you Brad and Bobby. Don’t think anybody in Karting has done more for the Reeds than Brad, Bobby and Ron.

That would be a very worthwhile prize to win. They will also attend the get together to have fun and support Bob.

Thanks Cris,

What we need is money or something to turn into money. Your choice.

Thank you for stepping up to help the Reeds.

Will do both….. I might be able to find a watch to auction off- I don’t think hauling a load of timbers down there to auction will work too well–

Aj is unable to post on the forum for some reason. He asked me to post for him.

Kartworks has generously offered a one on one, driver development day!

This is something we did 2 1/2 years ago and may be the best money I’ve spent since starting Romans driving career. A complete day, uninterupted with a National level driver can make a huge impact to your ontrack performance and technique. We started early in the morning and reviewed all facets of driving and technique. We started by going over the kart and reviewing safety items and the current set up on the kart. We discussed what changes we were going to make and the effect and theory of these changes. Next was a track walk. Discussing lines, not just the race line but overtaking lines, qualifying lines, rain lines, techniques for overtaking and not allowing a repass etc…

Then the part of making laps started. He observes your current abilities and approach to driving for a handfull of laps. Then the coaching begins. Suggestions are given to the driver, then you go apply them. this repeats many many times. Changes are made to the chassis along the way. You’ll be coached on using your body and hands in ways you may not have thought of. At the end of the sessions, you debrief. After all this we were worn out. I told Roman that him and I were going to wring every drop out of the money we spent to have this oppurtunty and we did. Roman walked away being a 25% better driver. And it showed. Roman was voted the “most improved driver” in the Csc and Won his first State Championship that year, being able to sit out the last race by previously clinching. It was something else.

This would benefit a driver who already has several hundred laps more than someone who is new and just needs to get their feet under them. This carries a value of $500 and you can milk every bit of information from Aj that you can obsorb! :~ :clap:

So driver, bring your tuner and ask questions you might not have felt comfortable asking other racers. This is the time to pick up information that is very valuable to your program and future success.

Thank you Kartworks and Aj for your generous offer.

This thing is really going to be fun and good for the Reeds.

Thanks again,

Rick

Well Cris,

You know who is going to be bidding on one of those awesome watch’s you have. It’s me! Something about walking around with something that says Rolex on your wrist is just pretty cool.

Of course you can win this Tony. And more than likely for a pretty good price. It may be the single best thing you ever do for your racing program. You can’t believe how much you can gain from someones years of high level competition. And a whole day grind you into a better driver. It was probably the best money I’ve spent in racing. It would have taken a lot of tires and fuel to figure out some of the sruff we learned that day, that’s for sure.

Look forward to seeing you Tony, it’s building into something special.

I would say “I can’t wait” too, but this thing is going to sneak up on those putting it together.

Thanks, Rick

:usa: We are in the process of setting up a blind draw for the race you do not have to present to win. It is twenty five dollars a square. A car number will be drawn and assigned to you. If your car wins the race you win $200.00 An additional one hundred dollars of gas will also awarded. So you should have no excuse for not attending you could win a tank of gas. There are sets of tires ,motors, driving schools, track test and tune coupons , a chassis’ , t shirts too many items to list. It will be the event to have been at when people ask you what you did for the 500. The Skylark lounge has $250.00 in drink coupons.

I already have the first ticket money from SGT. Adam Rozek stationed in South Carolina. Bob helped him win a race at the Rotax qualifier To bad he is a Tony Stewart fan my moneys on Jeff. So please keep the pledges coming call me for you race draw chances. 303 523 5921 Craig Lets make this happen.

Rick,

Sent you a PM

[Marc Elliott]

We will be donating my fresh GJMS winning RBI AR2 to help the cause. Godspeed Bob!

[Rick Schmidt]

Thank you to the Elliots,

Chuck, Denise and Marc are so thoughtful to donate this excellent chassis to the fund raiser. So very nice of this great family to contribute this awesome offering!

Well race fans… Looks like we are going to have a complete Rotax FR125 / Rbi AR2 chassis with front brakes to offer as a “ready to run” complete package. These are not just left overs, but very capable motor and chassis. We will assemble and some lucky racer will walk away with a front running, capable package!

This chassis brought down some of the best Pro drivers Colorado has seen, in one of it’s last outings!

Hows that sound?

This package will be on display at the 500 get together!

Be there to support Bob. Take this potent package home with you!

Thanks again to the Elliots!

Well racers,

The gang at Grand Junction Motor Speedway have offered their support as well. The Cook family have a great offering that should help raise good money for the Reed family! How does this sound?

1full race weekend at GJMS (CSC Series)
INCLUDES:
1 free set of MG tires
1 Entry fee (Sat & Sun)
1 Pit Spot 2 days
1 test and tune Friday
2 pit passes weekend
TOTAL- $500 value…

Sounds like a complete race weekend to me. The whole banana. 2 full Csc races pretty much covered?

Man, nearly a third of the Csc season is in here. (yes both race days & crew passes are included) You pay gas money to get there and have the time of your life, pick up any consumables, race fuel, extra tires, extra pit spots etc… Then race your butt off.

Nice contribution Stacey!

Thank you so much!

Rick

You may need a larger venue if this continues to build Rick. We have no parts, karts or skills to offer, only cash and a helping hand. We will be there to help and just get in the way. It’s the least we can do as a family. We have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to watch the Reeds since day 1. Ronnie and Matt used to be the same size at one time if you can believe that. Bob and I have had many discussions and have actually solved all of the worlds problems many times over the years. We come from the same generation and my heart fully goes out to him and his family in this time of need.

Bob,
If you are checking this thread I have only one question. What the hell were you thinking? Guys like us should never go under the knife. All that poison in us has no where to go but back inside and now look what you have done to yourself. Rick is one of the lucky ones to come out of his surgery like he did. Edwards is still home after his surgery…. Next time just walk it off and be grumpy like me. You will live longer, however, everyone around us wishes something else. Cant wait to see you and the family again, especially that little toe headed grandson.

Thank you to everyone who has, is, and will step up for this cause. The Reeds are world class friends, karters and just plain folks. Thank you Rick for stepping up. Tell Lucy and Tammy that Debbi will be on hand to cook , clean and help out wherever possible as well. See you all in a couple of weeks to watch the 24 car dominate the field at Daytona.
Curt

[Mike Edwards]
