Ian Crabtree Benefit Updates
Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:38AM
Last weekend were the 2 benefits that were setup in Utah and Missouri and I'm currently waiting on results and write ups.
The plan was for Ian to attend the event at Real RC as long as his health was good at the time. I understand Mike Crabtree is putting together a video from the event so as soon as he has it finished it will be posted here.
The report I got was the Jammin X2 that Jay Halsey put up for aution brought in $650 and the check for that was to be sent to Real RC and presented to Mike Crabtree for the Medical Fund.
Please check out Ian's Blogspot to see how he is doing.

Spokane Ian Crabtree Benefit
Wed Jul 16, 2008 3:27PM
Good morning Carlton,
Just letting you know that we have tallied the results from this past Saturdays Ian Crabtree benefit race. We had 63 entries for this race. The Spokane R/c community really got behind this race and gave their full support. One of the local hobby shops brought down their Barbeque and cooked for all of us races, with the money raised going to the total. We also had a raffle and raised a good portion of the total this way.
At the end of the night we had successfully raised $1000 for Ian’s Army!!!
We will being sending a check in the next day or so to the fund.
Thank you for your support of this race on your website!!

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.
