While working in the tower for DRC, I got to know almost all of the photogs on the circuit. Norman is a great guy and one of the most respected by his peers.

A bit of truth here. Not a single photog or journalist I knew got rich - most were barely squeaking by. Because it wasn't about the money, they were there for the love of the sport and for the competitors they came to be friends with.

When you're out there on your own, or getting a pittance of money from a magazine every now and then it's tough to build up much of a Social Security fund or even save any money towards retirement. So attacking the guy who did it for all the right reasons is the lowest blow I can imagine.
Thanks Dan - I too saw how hard he worked for peanuts - we became friends and still are today .You are right - with him it was never / ever about the money .

and all you could donate to your friend of 50 years, this "standup guy" that YOU owe is $100 after I embarrassed you into in 20 hours after you started this thread telling us to donate today/yesterday. The gall of you!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
I just received a PM from a regular daily/weekly poster here who is a stock eliminator racer and best can tell no one has an issue with him, he writes...

"I'm with you here. I don't want to kick a man while he's down, but how do you get to that age and have no one in your life that can help take care of you after you spent 50 years not planning for retirement or paying into SS? This man played a dumb game and won a dumb prize.

Wanted you to know I agree 100% and I'm surprised you've taken so much heat over this. I have no idea how so many responsible people here will dole out for someone who is this irresponsible. Racer affiliated or not."

I know the majority of those that have read this thread and my comments, too agree with me and this stock eliminator racer 100%, the views and lack of donations from racers here say all that needs to be said about this guy asking for handouts.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
There are absolutely people that agree with you. The difference is they know to take the high road and express those views privately.

Like many of my clients, you’ve the right to remain silent, just not the ability.

What you can count on is his huge ego .......but sooner or later he'll cross that line that even Ken won't be able to tolerate ( if he hasn't already ) any longer .Bet the ranch on it ! ! ! But thanks to him ( and his now no name friend - the only one with his views ) the donations keep pouring in .

look at his profile you will see send message and user list. choose ignore

1320racer 01-23-2025 06:00 PM
Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
don't bet on it Jack and over 4200 that have viewed this thread share my view because they too haven't donated a dollar! TRUTH and FACTS right there!

Now about that whole $100 you donated to your friend of 50 years. :D :p

goinbroke2 01-23-2025 06:37 PM
Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
You just have this on every page...This message is hidden because 1320racer is on your ignore list.

But it's better than seeing his crap.

It blows my mind how this man has no problem exposing PRIVATE MESSAGES to support his weakness as a human being. I truly regret my attempt to reason with him privately and he uses it as a weapon for his cause, I'm not flattered.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
frank, still no donation to norman, what are you waiting for?

Frank Castros 01-23-2025 06:57 PM
Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
You are a POS and ask you to remove my misguided quote from your signature. It was a failed attempt to reel you in from your contempt and or reason and I deeply regret it. You are insufferable.

1320racer 01-23-2025 07:06 PM
Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
says a POS, a hypocrite, a miserable old man and a LOSER and STILL no donation for the guy wanting handouts. Why is that frank? Let me tell you why, because you agree with my comments along with nearly everyone that has replied to this thread and the over 4500 that have viewed it, FACT!

I used to take a look on this forum once a day if possible. Surely not my type of communication anymore.

Paul you haven't donated either!

Frank Castros 01-23-2025 08:16 PM
Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
The only shame is to not to have none.

Edit: Here's the link, https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-n...6afdfb7f63e6de
No paypal though but there is "google pay" which works too.[/QUOTE]

There are multiple ways to donate listed
Apple Pay
PayPal
Venmo
Google Pay
Credit or Debit

goinbroke2 01-24-2025 05:45 PM
Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
Just FYI, but, there is a button to click if you don't want your name put out for everyone to see.

This makes it anonymous instead of taking credit for helping someone. It's not about you, it's about helping someone else. I'm guessing there are more than a couple on here who have donated anonymously.
You won't see my name anywhere on a donation whether online or at our Church etc. (you can get tax info without everyone knowing, we gave Colchester Christian Academy (both my boys went to) $10,000 a few years back, got the tax receipt but not a single person knew we did it, it was not about us)

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 
I see Norman raised his goal AGAIN, for the 4th time.

Norman you sly dog working the fools.

a fool and his money will soon part

No wonder you didn't work the minimum 10 years to get your SS credits, you had a retirement plan all along.:D

over 8300 views and only 4 donations from here says it all!

SUCKERS!

From the GoFundme Page

Does GoFundMe automatically increase goals?
Automated goal setting

You'll tell us how much you hope to raise in total, and then we'll take care of choosing your starting goal and adjusting it upwards as you receive donations. Automated goal setting is a good way to ease donors into your cause and create momentum as you work towards your ultimate goal.

Norman is at NYU in Brooklyn, you probably saw that already on his FB.
