Ian Crabtree Benefit News

Tue Jul 1, 2008 5:38PM

This past weekend was amazing! Not because of the rain and racing but because of the racers! Bear with me because there is a story here.

As we were arriving to Indianapolis one of the guys in our group contacted a friend of his that lives in Indy now. As it turns out he is a Snap On rep now. We met for lunch and while talking I told him about the Benefit events for Ian. Once finished with lunch we went to his warehouse so Mike could look at some tools. The discussion turned to an item he suggested for the charity auctions of which he didn't have at the time. As we were leaving Mike came walking into the RV with 2 Snap On leather jackets for the auction. So these will be going up on Ebay soon. He also had a new tool bag for himself plus some other stuff. So we head on out to the track in Edinburg. Once there Mike decided he wanted to donate the bag for an auction. Well the issue was there was no way I could get it into my suitcases to bring them back to Texas, so we decided to auction the bag at the race. I really didn't expect much from it but I was soon very surprised. While waiting on the track to dry Sunday morning we figured it would be the best time to try and auction the bag.
I made the announcement of what we were doing and what it was for and in the next 30 minutes I was reminded why I love rc!
First up to offer a bid was Jesse Wolkenheim's group for $50 with the notice whether they won or not to keep the money. Now Kenny Rice from Fastrax Hobbies bids higher then Jesse tops that! In the end Dominick Grande wins the bag for $200 but during the bidding we received donations from RJD Hobbies for $150 and some of their racers and a group of Kentucky/Tennessee racers for $140. By the time it was over we had $670 in donations and auction money for the Medical Fund! The guys from JCP added $200 on to that to bring it to $870. RC Pro will round it off to $1100. I also have paperwork from Starbucks where we can apply for a matching donation up to $1000 so hopefully that will come through and we can add to the total.

Thanks so much to all the following people.
