Tom could use some support as he is really struggling.

There is a Facebook Care Page here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tommy-...19855088103082

Tom built a 944 Spec/GTS car, went through NASA Comp school last year and has been running with us since then. He has been volunteering and has become part of the family.

Please keep him and his family in your thoughts.

Here are some pics of Tom in his #444 race car.









Not good news on the Care Page. Keep praying...
