Winged Warrior III. May 2007 Indy. (import vs USA)
No sense in dragging this out anymore evolutionary. Seriously, good luck with the new car. I'd be glad to help you out with anything you needed, as I always have been glad to help you.
Looks as though next year is going to get more interesting.
I LOVE this event.

Forgot to post up my little in car video here (try not to fall asleep during my 15.5 second drag run): http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...ilationWEB.flv
Okay, so it's not fast like an Evo, but there were 2 running Evo's behind me in the autox.....and I finished 27th out of 87 on the raw autocross times. In a field with cars like these, I'll take that.

Some "Magazine" coverage starts of page 19. OF COURSE, NO Imports.
Because it is a "Domestic" car e-zine. Cool nonetheless. Thought I would share.

Final tally is in also. They were THRILLED to get this much. I of course, wanted to give them more! Maybe next year!
TOTAL AMOUNT FOR THE KIDS FROM WWIII IS: $15,288.00
Amount of $2.23 stays in the account. (Got to leave something in there.)
Great job guys! I want to personally thank everyone, including Mike at ORP, ALL sponsors/Vendors, racers, people behind the scenes, WILL, DAVE,DEBBIE,GRETA, BRAD, MIKE, who spent the most blood sweat and tears of anyone I know, and could not have run so smoothly without them!! Plus, all the volunteers. Without all you have done, we wouldn't have been able to do this, nor raise so much for the kids! Lets triple it for next year!
TO RECAP:
WW0: (Carshow only) $290 raised for indegent kids to buy them Christmas gifts.
WWI: Mt. Comfort airport: $1900-ish
WWII: Anderson Airport: $5000-ish
WWIII: O'Reilly Raceway Park $15,288.00
So............. $22,478 was raised since we started this endeavor. Not too bad, and it is making a difference in the kids' lives. My/our alternative would be to sit on the sideline and do nothing- life is too short for doing that! I say $50K at least next year! Who agrees with me?
That check will be presented to the Cheer Guild Tomorrow at their Luncheon. I am sure they will come on here and comment.
The trend is going UP, so that is a great growth curve, and shows we are on the right path to success. Again, thanks to all. :headbang :headbang

I am going to try my hardest to make it out this year, but regardless there will be a good showing of midwestevos.com members there.
Our raffle drawing is tomorrow, tickets are still available for purchase. Shortly after I will be able to announce how much we were able to raise for the Winged Warrior Inc. and a check will be cut. I'm in contacts with Mike about how he wants to handle the fundage that comes from this raffle.
