"I am so thankful to all these folks who have sacrificed to help us cover so much of the costs of this great event.

I can not name them all because I may forget someone, but to all of them I appreciate you so much and thank you" added Bristol. We still have some needs we still need to sell around 155 Laps for the race they are $20 each and $10 of that goes directly to the family. If we sell all 200 laps that is $2,000 for the family before we open the gates. If you can help with laps please call me again 407-497-0448 or e-mail rbmini68@aol.com. We have one race left to sign a sponsor for and that is the Legends 30 Lap race it is $1,000 if you can help please contact me or you can call Russ Thomson at 407-857-0042". Again thanks to all and please help us fill the laps and the legends race so we can say we covered it all. The other thing we need are raffle prizes to help raise money through raffle ticket sales both nights. If you or your company can donate some items from product to certificates, to trips, what ever just let Rick know. If you have items that could help in the Charity Auction slated for Friday night in the pits after the races, just let Rick Know. We also want to announce that we will have the former Waltrip DEI Napa Car on display at the event, thanks to Jim Higgenbotham. We will one again have the sprint car simulators courtesy of Daksimulations.com. And another announcement we have added the Bandeleros in a combined race following the Charity Truckers 200 before the Legends race. This event is about kids, so we think it will be neat to have them race and take part. I really want to thank Orlando Speedworld, Fascar, especially Robert Hart and Rusty Marcus for allowing me to have this event again. Thanks to Don Nerone who initially stepped up to let me begin this dream 3 years ago at meeting with he and Rusty at a restaurant with notes on a paper napkin.
