Not to be a jerk, but what about doing the same for Kennington. It costs alot more to run in Nationwide.
If we have overwhelming support I have no problem helping out both. My thoughts were to keep JR's mojo going firstly. DJ seems to have stable funding in place for now but let us see how the CRO family does with this project first.
Thanks Ernie for the Donation.
Let spread the word everywhere: Facebook, Myspace, Websites and more. RTR can you mention this on Mondays show and maybe we can make this happen.
I will keep everyone posted on Donations
$100.00 Ernie
$ 25.00 Evan (CRO) sorry wish I could give more but I'm tapped out from buying a new car and last event. If I get a sponsor I can give a bit more.
I will put up a auction site to help raise more I think I have some things I could auction off. The wife is nagging me to clean the basement of collectables.
My $100 was to get the ball rolling not to set a base line. We have enough members here that $5 or $10 or whatever should add up. Also I am not trying to push anyone into donating. This is my way of maybe getting involved as a fan and helping out a Canadian boy if possible and that is why I suggested the fall back charity donation if we don't quite raise enough.
ok the auction site is up and running
If you like list your auctions as real auctions or keep our Canadian drivers in NASCAR fund or Project Track Champion.
I will give part of final sale fees to Project Track Champion or Keep JR in the truck fund.
There is also small fees to upgrade the listings and they are 1.00 or 2.00 and we can use this for fund raising.
To listing auctions are free.

Simple to understand.
Auction away. I have things I have to auction off.
Unfortunitly truck racing is quite costly.
A set of tires $1800 a set x 6 sets= $10, 800
Engine lease $30,000 a race
Lodging $200 a night x 10 rooms x 4 nights $8000
Flights $150 a person one way x 15 people $4500
Meals $75 a day x 15 people x 4 days $4500
Hauler fuel $2000
$10000 worth of maintance / wear and tear on the truck per race
$5000 worth of wages a race ($50,000 a year x 15 guys /25 races)
thats over $80,000 and you still don't have a shop lease and utilities or paid insurance on your hauler and buisness, or done any damage to the truck. The numbers I have heard are $100,000- $150,000 a race.
Oh ya you still need to buy a hauler, pit carts, trucks (atleast 6), spares, and tools.
You need to get the cause onto the satelite radio shows JR seems to have a huge fan following on that!
