Hello everyone,
We are getting down to the wire for The Rich Vito Indy 500 Party this Sunday. You can see the details on the thread http://www.coloradokartracing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=591&st=0&sk=t&sd=a for details about location and other inportant news. Thanks Angie for sharing your site, time has been too tight to try to keep the information current on both sites.
Thanks to everyone who has helped! We still need items for auction and raffles as well as help at the party with food and dishes, please see the appropriate contact information on the link above.
The website for Rich http://www.richvito.com is up and you will be able to track auction items, buy a driver for the 500 pool, buy a tee shirt or a “RV 51” sticker to put on your helmet to honor Rich (don’t be the only one without one, and please take a picture of your helmet and post here)
The website allows remote bidding and will remain up for auction items and tee shirts. So purchase a shirt and check the website to see if you can pick up some items even if you don’t make the party.
The cheering section for Rich is significant! You can win! We can help!
Godspeed Rich

how do I get tickets for the pool if I’m not going to be there? Should I just call ya Sunday morning???
May 22, 2009 at 9:47 pm #62809Rick SchmidtParticipantMike,
Log on to http://www.richvito.com to enter the blind draw or to purchase a tee shirt, I know you already have a sticker but you can also bid remotely for any auction items you might be intersted in (maybe a new rib?)
Or call my cell if you do not have connectivity.

😛 Just messin’ with ya’! 😛
May 22, 2009 at 10:37 pm #62811Rick SchmidtParticipantHe is still at home Troy!
Plus, I’m a little sensitive right now! 😉

What a great bunch of people, hopefully the racers can remember this and support them in the future.
I would also like to thank all the others who have helped in Rich’s recovery fund raising and encourage you to check the auction out, there is still a good selection of items that could raise money for Rich. All money goes to Rich and we need to remeber our fallen friend how this has changed his families life.
From Ekn;
