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 again. Rick

One more time,

Thanks to those of you who sent checks to Bob. I recieved more today. It is really wonderful to see the support.

Thanks again, Rick

[Rick Schmidt]

Done!

Thanks, Rick

[Rick Schmidt]

Thanks Stacey.

I hoped to have a chance to help infuse some money into the Csc. Rounding up some money to cover the level of tech we need and so forth, could save the racers in increased entry fee’s. But I’m afraid if we wait to long, the money will be a littel more scarce.

Thanks for getting on this.

Rick

Looks like we might have someone stepping up to take on the Marketing position, we will make an announcement soon.. Anyone with leads please hold tight so that he can put together a great package to present.. As you all know you usually only get one shot at these guys and we want to put our best foot forward… It’s going to be a great 2008!!!

Hey Stacey,

Are You, Brad and Jim still on this? It’s been a month and my prospects for a series sponsor are going to diminish at some point. If we wait too long the 2008 budgets will be spent.

We have the best possible race director, and I understand, a national level tech director.(which is what the customers wanted) Are we getting closer on a safety director and some one to market us, or at least put together a package to allow us to try to capture money for the Csc? Just wondering?

I’ve been all fired up to help this year. I know the season is still a ways off, but seems like we should get some of the preliminary stuff handled. If the Csc doesn’t need any help, that’s ok. If it does, we better get on the stick.

Eduardo,

It will be great to hang out with the “Latin contingent” away from the race track! Bring the kids. And thank you for supporting Bob and his family.

Not sure if Bob will be able to come out or not. It would be very cool if he could. He still gets tired real quick when talking to him. He still does not know we’re all helping him. Maybe some video to see his friends pulling together on his behalf might be cool.

Also thank you for the checks I’ve received, you people are awesome. And for all the IM’s and commitment for support received. And all the items already offered, it’s shaping up to have some damn good items to win.

This is really going to be fun.

Tilt the kart up on it’s left side while spinning the rear axle, this should burp any air. But be sure to check after the first stand warm up.The Vampire does not “air lock” too bad.

You know, we have this aper rolls that we get Car cover plastic that looks to be about the same diameter as the inside if the gear. I had thought in the past about making one out of those. Like a big thick paper towel roll. Just bond a base to it.

I throw a few of those out a week.

[Rick Schmidt]

Well, there you go Tony. Looks like it will be youth friendly and I’ll let you kick my but on the driving hot seat simulator. that thing is a kick in the butt. :~

[Rick Schmidt]

A big thank you to all that called me and IM’d me yesterday.

Doug thanks for responding with your offer to help while you out of town on vacation (can’t totally get away from the sport can you? Driving Jill nuts?) And Barry, generous to offer support.

Those that cannot be there that are sending checks. Awesome!

If anyone does want to participate and can’t be there, send a check made out to Bob Reed to;

Pearl Auto Body
4700 Pearl St
Boulder Co 80301
C/O Rick

Any amount will help

Thanks again for the support.

Is it Love?

Late breaking news!!!

I just received a call from a fellow racer (many who know me, know I operate on 5-6 hrs. of sleep a night. Lol) offering a very potent Rotax FR 125 package to be silent auctioned. This package won one of the biggest races of the season in decisive fashion. This package comes with a passport and is Rotax legal! Wow!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I think asking a minimum bid on this package of $850.00 is fair. Someone could possibly walk away with a package that could run up front in the Mile High Rotax Challenge for a very good price! Or, pick up a package capable of winning any Csc or Club race for a potential “deal”. Come out and participate racers. You and Bob may both win!

Thank you again! I respect your desire to remain anonymous, but wish I could spray your name all over this. What a good person you are. This person (who we all know) has seen the Reed family race and what they have done with what they have to work with. He did not hesitate. How bout you? Please help. In any way you can.

What a nice gesture for someone who needs help right now!

I have a friend that had an intestinal problem and spent 2 days in the hospital. He did need an MRI but not much else. His bill was $4900 for a two day stay.

Thank you to this individual! By the way, he will be attending the benefit on the 17th to have fun with fellow racers.

Did I say Wow?

Wow!

Rick,

A new guy here. If you can get me an estimate of those in attendance, I am sure I can get one of our sponsors, Mountain Morsels to donate some very upscale dessert cakes and maybe a gift box of assorted sweets to auction off.

I may know Bob, not sure, but anytime we can get together in the off season, count us in.

Thanks Eric,

Any and everything will help! As for a head count, I have no idea. It could be a hand full of us and it could be a hundred. Going to have to see how it goes here in the next week or so. I will try to get you an idea of attendance the best I can.

Lucy and Tammy could get in a serious bidding war over assorted sweets! Thank you, that would be much appreciated.

I’ll try to dig up a picture of Bob when I get home. He has the son (Ron Reed) who is deaf and the only deaf competitor we have,as far as I know. Like you, loves to do this with his kids. And, like you, he is very passionate about it.

Come out and hang out with some of the racers. I’ve seen you post and it would be cool to spend some time with friends, just for fun. No meetings, no deciding the future of anything. Just hanging out, eating and having a few beers, watching some racing, sharing tuning information or whatever. I’ll crack open the old playbook to anyone that attends. :look

Thanks
