Just when you think it can not get any better, guess what? Tom Kutscher from SKUSA just called. He is throwing into the auction pool: (1) entry into the 2008 SuperNationals, including tires and fuel! This is a package valued at $1,000.00 :clap: :clap: :clap:
Thank you Tom. He sends his best to Bob and his family and wishes he could be here for the event on Sunday.

Thanks for the great offer Tom!

Everyone knows Skusa takes care of it’s own. Not sure Bob has or ever will race the Supernationals. But a hell of a lot of the racers that are supporting him do.

Thanks again for the Generous offer!

You Rock!

Racers,

Please see the list of raffle and auction items as they have been updated with some more cool stuff!

Rick

[Mike Edwards]

Rick, Craig, Jay……………I keep getting calls as to what time the party starts and I keep telling everyone it’s when ever Mikey arrives but they aren’t buying the story. :bs:

So what time should people arrive to help or just party??? :idn:

Peace out
Mikey

[Rick Schmidt]

Sorry everybody. This got posted on Ekn and forgotten on the Karter, Can’t remember where I did what.

The party starts at 12:30 same as the pre race programming.

It is being hosted at the super retro-cool Skylark Lounge http://www.skylarklounge.com/

The above website has information about the lounge and a map.

For those helping set up, 10:30 is the target time.

This has grown to a capacity that the club owner is giving us both up and down stairs to use. We should have enough room.

If you are interested in helping with food or something to support feeding the group. Please contact Tammy http://[email protected]

Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions if they arise. I’ll do my best to answer or get the information.

Yea, same here. I have been scrambling since I found out about this event to try and get plans changed. Its just not working out. Any way to bid by remote, Kurt’s got a new Bell that could use some paint.

Hope you all have fun. Of course I will be cheering on my 2 favorite drivers; Dale Jr. and anybody that finishes in front of Gordon. 😀

[Rick Schmidt]

Well Ken,

If Kurt wins it, I’ll light up his lid!

I’ll tell you what, Tell them it’s “pin the tail” and blind fold all the kids at Kurt’s birthday party! Then sneak down to the Skylark and hang out for a bit!

Thanks again for your generous contribution.

Pulling for Jr. no matter who I get in Bob’s pool!

Why I’m supporting this for Bob, a Bob story.

A few years back, we went to an IMI club race after an absence of several years. What happened at that race and afterwards created quite a controversy. Bob was in the thick of things. Given his passion for the sport, it’s not surprising. Many of us are very passionate about this sport and we sometimes say or do things that while at the time seemed right, later we find we couldn’t have been more wrong. Bob found himself in one of those positions.

But unlike so many of us, Bob is at the core, a most stand up guy. He not only apologized to me personally, he apologized personally to my sons and and made a public apology on these forums. This man is the most stand up of stand up guys I know. Sure Bob is a character, but more importantly, he is a man OF character. This is why I donated to the cause. Bob deserves every bit of our support.

Tomorrow you have a chance to get some certificates for our products. I ask that you pay full face value for them. Bob gets every dime and you get the full value in kart parts of your choosing. We both know that over the course of the season, you’ll spend at least a little bit with us, so why not help a fellow karter and yourself at the same time.

So what is your Bob story?

Would there be any room for someone to come who’s looking to get into karting? I’m just hoping to get started in karting and have been lurking on these boards for quite a while. Sounds like there will be a lot of great items for auction and it’s for an excellent cause. Please reply post and/or PM me and let me know if it would be possible for me to stop by during the event. If it’s a closed function for those who’ve been involved for a while, I can respect that, just thought I’d ask.

Nick, you will definitely be welcomed at the event! Feel free to come out, this will be a great opportunity to ask questions about karting as well as help a good cause.

My Bob story,

Back in august Bob had gotten in some hot water in the thread concerning ILLEGAL ROTAX ENGINES . Now I’m not gonna bring that topic up again, but what I am gonna bring up is that Bob was getting blasted by some people and he said what he felt, and I made a public post basicaly saying, kudos to Bob for speaking his mind. (lets just say I knew how he felt)
The following club race we were pitted close to the reed’s and Bob came up to me, asked me if I was Road Runner, and thanked me for standing up for him, and gave me a IMI/Brutal Racing Shirt.

And ever scence Bob has offered to help me with my kart when ever I need his expertise, and I offered to help him and Ron anytime I could.

God Bless Bob, he’s a great Guy
