Fuel The Cure!

I went into my decision to do One Lap of America knowing that the teams (and friends) I admire most are the men and women who have raised money for the causes, concerns and charities they believe in.

Here are some inspiring example links:
Robin Sparrow's One Lap Campaign to eliminate Prostate Cancer
Fay and David Teal's "Laps to conquer MS"
Roy, Adrienne and Nancy's work for the Ronald McDonald House
Linda Cheatham's Organ Donation awareness efforts...

I'm a very lucky guy with a great job, great friends, a healthy family and enough resources to indulge my passion for high performance driving. Motorsports and racing related activities tend to be selfish pursuits. The "exposure" we can get in the automotive enthusiast community give us an opportunity to help worthwhile charities.


This is my first self-entry (of my own car) in the Tire Rack One Lap of America. To kick it off, we are pleased to announce that we are raising donations for the Children's Tumor Foundation and NF awareness. For more background on our recipient charity, visit CTF.org but please consider donating to us so we can build a ongoing donation program.


We are offering sponsorship levels that can suit all budgets. We are collecting during the event handing out wrist bands and signature panel stickers that can be signed and placed on the roof of the car as we go. The more stickers, the better we are doing!

For more mature budgets, we are offering event mileage (approximately 3,700) based amounts based on penny, nickel, dime, quarter and dollar per mile.  Please donate what you can and help our team make a big contribution in our very first outing.

Special thanks to our very first contributor, Steve C. for his generous support!

My contact at CTF.org also posted about us on Facebook on 4/27/11

UPDATE: WOW and WOW!


We are humbled by the generosity of our "early adopter"sponsors.


We've had online donations through the PAYPAL widget and cash donations at Quadratec where I am happily employed.
