Don't use the edwardblume@gmail.com (Paypal) account from this point on. While this is 100% charity, Paypal takes a different view.
PM RobW for different instructions and we'll figure out how to get you in for a donation from here. We are at 72% and have a couple weeks before Christmas to go. Thanks, RobW |

Sending PM, in.
We had a member of our auto x club die in his garage 2 seasons ago, working in one of his race cars. Motor running, did not leave a window open... We have done some fund raising and do a yearly new student driver school, similar to a "tire rack" teen driving school, in his memory. I designed the curriculum, all the instructors, workers are club members, we charge 20/head, and loose our shirts on the cost of the track rental, but the club sucks up this cost in our yearly budget. I regret that I can't get to the build off, but can offer some $$$ in the form of this donation. Great idea on the trans raffle. |

Ottox914, thanks for your donation and for sharing your story. Life is very short, too short, and when tragedies happen, we all feel it. Good luck with your DE next year. Post it here on the world site, and maybe we can add some 914s!
Thanks again. BTW - 100%. |

Yup, I have confirmed that we have hit the $1000 mark so the box will be raffled soon on a date yet TBD. If you want in, you are quickly running out of time. PM RobW or Kansas914 if you are sending a check so we can wait until it arrives to draw. Thank you all very much for making this raffle a smashing success! Thanks to Andy for donating this gear box and helping with the rebuild, and to RobW and the rest of his helpers at the clinic for helping with the rebuild. This will rank up there with the Jenny build-off and the Korijo van buy. I love this place (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Not Phil, he is very much alive and kicking. 2 yrs ago his mother passed, and concluding the estate probably took 10 years off his life. Last year, when it was FINALLY wrapped up, he ended up with a sum of money. And if you know Phil, and his love of old cars, british cars, and Lotus, you can only have one guess as to what he did... a Caterham, with an authentic dry sump 1600 kent motor, titled as a '74 lotus 7, making it vintage correct for some of the "old" events in our state, which consider vintage to be '74 and older. That car on 205's is a force on the auto cross course. It travels in an enclosed trailer pulled by a suburban. Phil is finally riding in style with the car of his dreams behind. As sad as many of us were when Paul died, seeing Phil re-born with the stress of the estate gone, and him back in the seat of a brit-mobile proves all is right with the universe again. I gotta get that turbo motor done, and go Caterham hunting. Mine's still a '73, so I'll have him by one year and plenty of HP, but I'll be 800 or so heavier. Should be a blast. Sure hope I can win a trans to put that power down... |

Good luck with your DE next year. Post it here on the world site, and maybe we can add some 914s! Thanks again. BTW - 100%. The DE is for young drivers, who have passed drivers ed, and are in their first year or 2 of driving. We take them on a track, and set up threshold braking, slalom, panic stop, avoidance, and skid pad exercises, each preceded by a short classroom session, with an instructor in the car for each driving session. The students drive their street cars, on street tires. We want them to experience what happens at the limit of traction, how to react, and what happens when you really loose it. (wet skid pad). We encourage an active look out, good driving position in the car, and have a session on knowing your car- how to check air in tires, oil level, where's the spare, jack, owners manual, what the dash lights mean. Its alot of work, and you never know if what you are doing will really make a difference, but at the end of the day, the confidence level of the kids is so much greater, you have just GOT to believe they will be better street drivers, and you hope that if a car is coming at you out of control, its one of your students, so they will react properly and no paint will be damaged. |
