Not everyone likes to do good things in public. So, don't think you have to be public to make your support known. Just PM floyd and let him know what you can do, big or small it all benefits the kids. Or just send it off..

Let's do it guys...

I think I recently noticed some leftover chevy stuff, and other misc stuff on shelves around the shop. Doesn't almost everybody have that kinda stuff around too???

If your shelf stuff is doing as little good to you as ours is doing to us......

Good things will happen... I often laugh at Satan. And I always Praise God. Because even when bad things do happen, and they do.... God can make good from it.

Nicely put Daivid. Without our lord and savior Jesus Christ and our Father God almighty nothing would be possible.

Floyd,
I spoke with my customer with the Grand Prix. I think about 200-300 bucks can get the car. She thinks it is a 1984 but isn't sure. This car is complete with full interior and dash trimmings, fact wheels and all the trim is there. Has t-tops and a console. Pretty sure it has a v8. I will try to get pics for you tomorrow.

CJ,
It was great talking to you also. For 23 years old you definitely have your priorities straight. It is good to know that we still have young men in this world that are not into all the garbage that alot are. Thanks so much for everything and the words of encouragement.
God Bless
Floyd

If you're running a 3-speed transmission, I got a hurst pistol grip shifter that I only used 1 1/2 seasons. It's a forward pattern and I had to replace the linelock button on it but it works great. If you haven't got one yet I'll send it your way! I was lucky to have a dad that got me into this sport and kept me out of trouble so I can imagine the impact you have on those kids! Just let me know if you can use it.

I have had things stolen and now well, I am 38 yrsold and understand to some degree why people steal a)theyre lazy dirtbags b)maybe in a real bad spot and need to feed the family c)are just thieves d)do it for the thrill e)cant make an honest living f)werent raised right, the list goes on and on. But while I agree with none of them I understand it.

To a younger person they cant and it wil jade their perception of people to some degree, try not to let that happen Floyd, let them see you handle it well and their emotions will follow, dont get too negative about the dirtbags that stole it in front of them even though I too would be seething. Shrug it off as a "well they obviously need it more to steal it" and let them know youll built the next one better, the next one is always better because you learn on the first, try somehow to turn it into a positive for them.

You understand I think what Im trying to say.

I do know where theres a complete and rust free Monte (81) for about $800 no title, its in a shop that has been owed money on it for 10 years...lol...they never re-applied for a title. Its just sat inside...its my cousins shop, if he wasnt so broke and needing the money I would ask him to donate it.....but its an "option" I guess, Ill root around if there is anything I can think or find SBC and GM Ill ask you if you can use it.

Ill also keep an eye out, but I dont see it ending up here, Ebay and CL though.

Re: Tough Night UPDATE
 
Well we have recieved a few donations from fellow racers and it is a big help. We are still looking for a car that is clse to South Carolina so if anybody has any leads please let us know. Drooze has a great car but the distance would cost around $1100.00 to get it here. Thanks again for all of your help and support.:)
