i support charities..... as i hope most of the people on this forum do as well..... you would probably do better with us by just having a tin "donation can" in your pit than trying to blow smoke up our skirts..... most of us do this racing thank as a "nonprofit"sort of way, we just try to keep our wives from finding out instead of the IRS.... i know in the last 10 yearz i spent around a "hun" with a "T"shirt and a red hat being the only return..... I know for a fact that most of us on this forum will lower ourselves to begging for parts..... so ill begin..... hey can anyone buy my the $22,000. worth of batteries i hurt at speedweek?

Years ago a buddy clued me in to how much waste goes into legitimate charitable fundraising.

I just can't tolerate having 50 cents of my dollar going to a terrific cause while the other 50 cents builds a mansion.

I donate a lot of money to charity. The only way I let go of that dollar is if I can identify a direct donation to program needs.

I donate goods by purchasing goods directly and donating them. Case loads if that's what they need.

I donate my time.

You can still make an impact, just watch where your money goes.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Kent --

(Simple answers, please -- don't know +'s from -'s.)

How'd you destroy them?
As expensive as they are, do they have recycle value?
