Re: Nhra strikes again - must read for stk/ss at ned nat eve
When we started this event 2 yrs ago.. We brought 74 kids. Last year we brought 184 kids. The main goal was to let the kids see something that many may have never, or will not get the chance to see it again. We brought many Companies along with us who donated give aways.. Hats, shirts, whatever. The division stepped with stuff also.. As we walked thru the pits.. Many teams, and drivers stepped out of there trailers and motor homes to check it out. Many people were throwing stuff like again hats and shirt to the kids.. I had a couple boxes of hats from Lucas Oil.. When ever a driver stopped and we talked to them.. I had them sign the hat and give it to one of the kids. Now some may think i got this together to promote myself and our radio show.. That isnt true at all.. I grew up in Drag Racing.. And with what i do as a hobby i worked really hard to put these events together. You as the racer need to be part of it. Its all simple stuff.. Something as simple as a sticker will light up a kids face. We had enough stuff that one of my goals was accomplished.. Everyone, including staff went home with something.
Jay Blake took time out of his busy day to stop and talk to the kids. Joe Lombardo made a point to come and speak with them... Dave Mohn did also. So i guess what im saying is. it doesnt take a whole hell of alot to reach out to people and let them know what is going on. One of the worse things i ever heard a racer say was.. Well its not my job to promote the race.. Thats the tracks job. Well sorry, but i call BS. And by doing what we did the past 2 years. Its proof that a little effort goes a long way. WHEELZ UP RADIO along with Lucas Oil Products. Strange Engineering, Brodix Heads and many more will be bringing the 3rd ANNUAL CARZ 4 KIDS at New England Dragway. And also dont forget about or Car Show at the State Capitol in Concord NH. I have also spoken with the Governor and if his schedule allows.. He will be making an appearance at the Car Show. SO i ask you.. Step up.. Be part. Show off your hard work.
