Seldom Seen Slim/Kudos Laser engraving will be donating stuff for the raffle -- and we'll take this opportunity to urge other folks to donate to help Mike Jr. when he really needs the help.

We'll send a set of four engraved coffee mugs -- with the landracing.com name and logo on one side, and maybe something like "I'm a land speed racer" on the other side.  I'll take some guidance here.  We'll send a couple of landracing.com t-shirts.  And -- for sure we'll send a certificate for a couple (2) of custom engraved coffee cups.  You can have most anything you want engraved on them -- team name, records, vehicle number, etc - most anything but a picture of Freud.  I have some moral standards, you know.  The reason why you'll get only a certificate -- is that since we don't know who'll win the cups - we can't make 'em 'til we hear from you that you're the winner and want (such & such, blah blah) on each one.  I'll work with you to get 'em the way you want them.

Okay -  now it's your turn to offer some help.  Nancy and I will be in Indianapolis that weekend so we can't go to the BBQ/Fund Raiser/party.  Dang. . .

I'll be glad to post the list of donated items here - someplace.  Probably on the Forum, in this thread.  I'll keep it as fresh as I can.  Nancy and I will be on the road from next Wednesday AM 'til Sunday night, but I can spend time on the laptop as we travel - so that shouldn't be a big deal (unless we go through lots of dead cell phone zones).

I'll ask Tiny to keep a list and let me know - in case I miss something.  Tiny also gave me an address for shipping stuff.  I'll let him decide if he wants to put it here since it's a private residence.

(She gets mail in a quicker manner than here in El Mirage!)

If you are in the Inland Empire area in California and want to donate for the raffle, Courtney is willing to come to you.

For sure will get a list together in the next couple days.

Thank you all.
