Midwest Class Racers Make-A-Wish race Sept. 19-20

Alan Nyhus · 09-10-2015, 08:42 AM

On Saturday, Sept 19th Thunder Valley Dragways along with Midwest Class Racers & Watertown Ford Chrysler, have invited 25 Make-A-Wish Families to the track for an exclusive VIP experience. Like last season, the Make-A-Wish kids can climb into the passenger seat of their favorite Stock or Super Stock car for the parade 'pass' down the track before eliminations begin.

Our challenge : raise $7500 to make one child's wish come true.

Our reward : the satisfaction of seeing the smiles on their faces because they got to ride in a race car down the track, get their photo taken with a driver, their shirt signed by a driver and the knowledge that we as a group helped make one childs Wish come true.

We'll post more info as we get closer to this event.

Thanks to Ken and Class Racer for letting us spotlight this event here.!

Update: We've already got a nice start on the donations needed to fund a wish for one special Make-A-Wish child.

The staff at Thunder Valley Dragway is going to make the donation process easier by letting the racers add their donation amount to their entry fee when they come through the gate. For example, if you wish to donate $100, just add that to the entry fee and the staff will direct your donation into the fund.

Like last year, the kids will be getting lots of goodies.....special t-shirts that drivers can autograph, meals and access to the VIP section of the tower. New this year will be some limo style golf carts to take the kids and their families around the pits.

More updates as we get closer to this.

This truly is a special race for a great cause! Last year a group of 10 children (and there families) melted the hearts of the crustiest racers with there smiles! The parade lap down the track was a huge hit for the kids and the racers. Please join us for 1 of the best races of 2015. MCR has set out a huge challenge to all racers to collect enough Money to fund a wish ($7000) . Look forward to seeing all our great friends at Thunder Valley Dragways Sat Sept 19.
