I was thinking tonight while mowing my yard,that it would be fun if we could get a bunch of people together and pitch in whatever you could afford to help out some of the drivers and teams at the Smackdown. The Smackdown pays good money,but not everyone will make it in the big show.
Maybe I am being unrealistic,but I think it woould be great to come up with,lets say $1000,and then give 10 teams that may have had a misfortune $100 apiece. Something along that line. I'm far from wealthy,but I'll throw in the first $20 just to get things started. So if you have an extra $1 or $5 or $10 or $20 or whatever amount to throw in we could make this happen.
I've just run this idea across Dick Monahan and Monica Clauson,and they said they'ed be happy to help out. They will be there during the day Thursday,and they could help collect for this. Monica has said that their motorhome could be a drop off spot for anyone that would like to donate. I've got to work Thursday,but will be up after work,and around all day Friday and Saturday to help collect too. Anyone else interested in helping?
Then I guess the thing would be to ask for ideas on how to distribute any money brought in. Who do you give it to?? Here's some different ideas. 1st car to flip in the C main. Hard luck driver. Who came in towing on an open trailer. That sort of thing.
Any ideas?? Post them here,or you can always PM me here.
