Tough Night - Page 4

Floyd Gomez · 03-25-2010, 04:10 PM

Time for a quick update. We have had several people offer cars and are trying to decide what body style to run. The kids are not sure if they want to run an older car or stick the the Monte concept. Thanks to all that have offered support and donations. We have compiled a list of items that we lost.
The car had a 6 point roll cage
sub frame connectors
turbo action shifter
Jegs guages
autometer tach and shift light
Jegs switch panel
Warrior(I was corrected) wheels with Hoosiers all the way
hurst line lock
accel ignition.
Full interior with new covers that was out of the car for paint.
Simpson camloc 5 point harnesses
Moser 12 bolt with 4.88 gears and a spare set of 5.13 still in crate
2 305 stock blocks.
3 Sets of stock heads
200 metric trans
th350 trans
2 engine stands
moroso valve covers
solid motor mounts from Jegs
Complete craftsman tool box and tools (I got a new one)
Tach light and a cam degree kit that was on loan
Jegster Drag race suspension kit
Cannon Digital Camera
David lost a ton of paint stuff and some tools of his own along with 2 brand new paint guns.

I really hope the guys that took this stuff needed the money to feed their family. I know times are tough for a lot of people and although that excuse doesn't make it right, it makes things a little easier to swallow.

Alright, tomorrow is Friday and the last one of the month... I know its payday for most of us.... NOW is the time to join in and help these kids... My thanks to Ronnie Hamlin, David Wertman and Chris Wertman... They have all joined and accepted my challenge... How about you????? Maybe you don't have a hurdred. That's OK give what you can!!!! If 10 of you give $10. That's a hundred!!!! We have several thousand members here, a dollar each and guess what..... We have set a fine example for these kids... Don't let me down. I know that I'm new to this class racing thing but I have been racing for a very long time and racers are racers... They help one another.... Its all up to you....

I am a long time reader of this forum and rarely post. This thread has hit home. As someone who is in the process of building a car, I understand the amount of work and money it takes to build a nice car, only to have some knuckle draggers steal it. Really pisses me off.
I have $100 to donate. Please let me know where I should send the money.

Count me in for $100.00 and I may have an Autometer Tach with built in shift light....it's an old one but works perfectly...presently on my Max wedge car.

If the car that Max Reeves has located is in FL, I will transport it to you at no charge on a flat bed trailer.

CJ,
Any thing would be helpful. As you can see from the list we need a ton. Didn't seem like we had so much until it was gone and have to start over.

I have sent everyone that requested my address a PM. Thank you all so much for your support. Good to know that people like you still exist in this world.

Floyd,
No sign of any PM from you, but I would suggest that you post an address so if anyone wants to send a few bucks without posting they can.
