Today our trailer and our polaris ranger and all of our sprint equipment and spares were stolen on gasoline alley. We probably won't see any of it again. I am up here for the summer trying to make this racing dream work, but everything but my car is gone. "Uncle Bernie" at Indy Race Parts is loaning me a trailer to use until we can get another one, but if anybody has any wheels or anything they want to get rid of, I would like for yall to give me a call. 256-531-3166

Thanks,

Kevin Thomas, Jr. 9k

Kevin , if you can , it may be helpful to post a photo of the trailer here -

There's a lot of trailers in this area and race people take notice of them ; it would help to know what to be on the lookout for...

Also a detailed list and description of the other items , parts , equipment , etc. as someone may be selling something in or outside of the area.

I sincerely regret that this has happened to you but don't assume nothing will be found. Something may turn-up , someone may see something. I hope so.

Contact me if I can help in any way ! Best of luck to you !

Kev, I just got home from the Jacksonville IL non wing rainout and read your post. I had actually gotten a call from Sinden Racing saying they got hit too. Anyway, do you need any racing gear or was it not in the trailer?

I have tried to list the things that were taken and in order of what i might need the most, but right now i'm not too proud to have anything i can use.

All of our gears
wheels and tires
torsion bars
2 shocks
radius rods
front axle
tire groover
funnel
USAC Radio
Box of torsion arms, brakes, misc. bolt on components
Box of spare hoses for fuel and radiator
Craftsman tool box with nuts, bolts, AN fittings, spare mag, misc small stuff
tear-offs

I had my suit at home, but they got one of my helmets and gloves

The trailer was a 28' Optima bumper pull trailer with KT Motorsports on both side and the back door. The back door also had some ghosted logos that can still be seen, one is (Sign Works on the top right side)

Thank you guys for helping us.

Just wanted to say thanks to the folks who offered help today. That's the cool part about being up here from Alabama and having people treat us like we are part of this racing circle.

Thanks again,

Kevin, Jr.
