only $30 donation? and $90 to race. I feel they should donate more with out raising the price. Then they would be truly donating to the cause.

Reno, Pole Position Raceway is making many generous concessions for us to hold this event. But, I do agree and wish that they can make bigger contribution towards the Charity. This is our first year holding the event with Pole Position. Hopefully with the great success we have this year, they'll be able to contribute bigger portion to the Charity, next year. Thanks.

Yes, everything will be provided (Karts, helmet, head sock). Just make sure you wear shoes that cover your toes. These karts will reach 45 mph in a tight indoor track. All meticulously maintained and handle very equal. Weight shifting, hitting your apex, and all other fundamental racing skills required to attain fast laptimes.

We are a week away from the event. We'll have good food, great competition, all while raising awareness and funds for a great cause; fight against Leukodystrophy.

Here's a link to a story of Judson, victim of Leukodystrophy. Judson is not related to our friend, but hope that this will give you a gist of what Leukodystrophy is. We really want to make this event as fruitful as possible. I desperately seek your support.

Thank you!

PS - We have extended the registration deadline from June 19th to June 25th.

Guys, if the price of the ticket for the race is the deterrent, perfectly understand. Please do feel free to come out for just the BBQ Outing. It's FREE. There'll be plenty of cool cars (hopefully many 951's), good food, and great people. There'll be few prizes raffled off as well. We would love to have as many people as possible participating in the Race, but our core focus is to raise awareness. We really want this event to be as fruitful as possible. All I ask is that you let me know that you are showing up, so we can make sure to have adequate food prepared.

For those that do want to Participate in the Race, please email me ASAP. I need to pre-register you.

Humbly seeking the support of 951 community,

Jones
