RACING FOR HEROERS

[Craig Mansfield]

:usa: :usa:
A MERRY CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO ALL MY FELLOW KARTERS! I have been able to set up a salute to the soldiers. It is a series called ‘RACING FOR HEREOS’; a challenge race between Fort Carson Army and Buckley Air Force personnel for a traveling trophy. The military personnel who will be racing that day will be selected based on criteria established for the Senior Airman Kristopher George Mansfield Peak One Award that is currently in its sixth year. The Peak One Award honors my son who was killed by a drunk driver. It highlights ‘Leadership, Citizenship, and Safety’ and is awarded to the best of the best of these soldiers. Several Colorado tracks have committed to hosting this race series and will highlight other military branches. The series will consist of a practice race and the main event using ten of the track’s rental fleet during a normal race day (a total time period of about thirty minutes).

The first event will be at the UnserRacing indoor track facility located at the I-25 and Highway 36 interchange, 7300 Broadway, Denver (720-282-5000). It will take place on Sunday, February 20th and will be run during the Daytona 500 race. Local kart racers will also have the opportunity to race during this time period. Class structures to be announced; suggestions are welcome. A ten percent discount on rentals will be given by the UnserRacing track to all Colorado Karters during that day.

I will be paying for two of the kart rentals for the soldiers during the race segment and will look for help sponsoring the other rentals. The Unserracing track will donate the practice race time.

We are being allowed to bring in food for a luncheon. I have a donation of some food already and displays of the latest karts. Colorado karters, lets get together and make this a magical day.

What could be better to start the 2011 season? A salute to our soldiers, bench racing, a track to race on, NASCAR on TV, food, games, fun. and friends.

So please email me at [email protected], PM or call 303-242-2929 with questions, donations and support.
