Craig I'm sending you $$ thru your PayPal account..... I think it will be better for you since they do not charge for a gift.

Take care.

If anybody wants to give to Craig through PayPal PM him for his PP email. (PP is free and GFM charges 9%!)

Tim,

As soon as I get back from my trip, probably at the Boola Bash, I can help out. Will that work?

This one I built for the Nats. Handles well and has plenty of zip. The motor has been disassembled, can lightened, thicker NEO magnets installed , M20 arm replaced with smaller diameter K30 arm and assembled under a microscope.

Spares included; 1 M20 motor, 1 pair rear tires , 3 clear bodies, 1 each 917K, 312 P, and Lola 530,  and strips of phoshororous bronze pickup material. 

To the highest bidder to benifitt Craig.

 

Craig and the late Gus Kelly was the first guys who really opened up to me and helped me out the first two times I started racing Retro cars at Buena Park Raceway. I used a JK kit when I started out. But after a year I built my own lightweight car . I struggled like a duck in the desert. But Craig would always check my guild tounge spacer setup and advise me what tires to buy.

 

I work in a Dental practice. They just started offering screening for oral cancers. If your dentist offers you this consider it, please. Especially if you chew tobacco. It saved Curt Shillings life.

Mike, that auction went well the way you ran it, any plans for another?  It seems to produce results faster!

Barney's paypal idea is better in that there are no fees to Craig. We have shown how compassionate we are as racers when others were in need let's help out a great guy and friend to many.

Just a update guys....

After we suffered having to evacuate because of the Tamarack fire for 5 days.... We were lucky and the fire crews did a great job directing the fire around our area and homes..... Craig had to evacuate from So. lake Tahoe because of the Caldor fire for 2 weeks! I knew he would not be able with his condition to stay at a evac center so Craig, his brother and father came down and stayed with us till they could go home. This made his life much easier then trying to stay on a cot.
