Well I have spoken with Bill and he has given me the ok. I had an idea and put the word out today on Facebook to do an auction on here to help raise money for this family. The replys have shocked me as to the generocity of everyone. Drivers are donating helmets, panels, shirts, gloves, and autgraphed photos just to name a few. Tracks are donating packages, www.Jackslash.com is donating dvds and apparel. Photographers are donating photos! It is less than 24 hours since I put the word out and have easily 30 items to auction off so far. As soon as The items start arriving here I will start posting them up.

This will be an awesome way for a fan to get some really cool memorabilia and help out a great cause at the same time.

Any racer/fan who would like to donate something for the auction here is my info:

Have them contact the People's Burn Foundation. They used to run a program called Extinguish the Need. This program provided pretty much everything a family would need to get back on their feet after a fire. I am not sure if they still have this program but I know it helped many people. The number for the People's Burn Foundation is 317-803-2876.
