We will be raffling off another complete car in the Wounded Warrior Raffle. This year it will be a Coupe. We have had 2 Can-Ams and a Formula 1 before.

James Grandi has been commissioned (he ain't getting paid though) to build the frame. I will do the body. HVR is donating the tires. James will join Preston Meyer, Eric Gehrken, and Ed Sohl our previous builders.

John Streisguth will lead the raffle as he has done a super job in past years.

Stay tuned for the details and future pictures of course. It's still early.

Sitting here looking at that F1 body right now. Taking it to Tri State Raceway in Hamilton, Ohio tonight to test it out for the R4.

What a worthy cause. Wish we had something like that. Was wondering if there would be a consideration for another vet's group. There's other alternatives. FWIW.

I have a few custom touches in mind for the chassis build that relates to the theme. This will be a very nice car on the whole

This question comes up every year. Seems most charities have some controversy surrounding them. They still have good ratings on how much money goes to the programs vs. administrative expenses.

Any way to get into the raffle if one is not able to be present at the race?
