Christmas Race!!!!
This was originally posted by Flatline on the nmra message board. I thought I'd copy and paste it here too.

Hey guys me and a few guys have come up with an idea to help out the less fortunate kids in our area. I have talked to Paradise Drag Strip and they have agreed to let us rent the strip the 2nd sat in Dec.. The race will be a show and go. No tree or timing lights. Just a flag starter. The entry fee will be two unwrapped toys. (one for a boy & one for a girl) It will be open to everyone. Domestics and imports. We can have a few grudge races.LOL Anyway anyone wanting to help or participate email me. The cost of the track will be $700 dollars. I will be coming to the local shops for donations. And your banners will be displayed at the track and you will be mentioned in the local papers. I am going to try to get us an article in a car mag. So get to shining and tuning its not far off. Again this is open to everyone. You must wear a helmet also. (track rules) The track is in Calhoun GA.
To help out with the track cost email me with your pledge. I will start it off with $100. So we need $600 now. Thanks guys I know you will not let the kids down.
After talking with Big Dog I think we will charge a $5. gate fee to cover trophies and plaques. We also need people to volunter to work conssesions. Come on guys step up for a good cause!
The classes will be: give me your ideas
thanks Micheal Peden(aka)flatline

I'll try to get some of my friends from Cleveland to head down. Another guy and I will atleast come to watch. I haven't talked to any of them that sit out on the weekends in a while so if any of you guys are out in Cleveland you might mention it to some of them. I should have the 383 on the road by then, but I think I'll keep it off the track b/c I will be limping around on a stock clutch and rear end for a little while. I'm tired of it sitting and can't afford to break anything right now.

I might try to come and watch.. Heck, even might race. I'll bring toys either way!
Good idea for the christmas season too. Cuz you know how much money people put into their cars, sometimes not thinking about others that can't even afford a car to drive, much less, give their kid a christmas present. I've personnally done that myself.. But this is a really good idea, so I plan on being there!
If money situation is low for the rent on the track.. someone e-mail me and I might be able to give a little. Keeping the car on the road and paying for college isn't cheap
