Those of you not from the Central PA area, may not be aware that each year a group of very dedicated fans raise money for our local racing heroes. The fund raising is done at the Williams Grove National Open as a Chili Cook-Off and includes raffles, silent auctions, driver autograph sessions, etc. This year, the recently deceased Billy Kimmel had plans to add a very special item to the auction.
Details from the Williams Grove Message board follow.
Before Billy's tragic death, he had a dream that he wanted to fulfill. This dream was to get as many race teams as possible to donate a t-shirt that he was going to put into a basket. After all t-shirts were collected, this basket was going to be auctioned off at the National Open Chili Cook Off at Williams Grove Speedway, prior to the September 29 race. All proceeds were going to be donated back to the drivers.
We want to make Billy's dream happen. On Saturday Night at Port Royal, during the Tuscarora 50, Mark Coldren and Jordan Givler will be coming around with this basket, asking for t-shirt donations. We want to make this huge. We are asking any driver, in any division, in any part of the world, please help Billy's dream become a reality. If you have a t-shirt that you'd like to donate, you can give it to Mark or Jordan, or mail it to:
Jordan Givler
945 South 29th Street
Camp Hill, PA 17011
Billy was just about to start collecting t-shirts for the National Open, and we're going to make sure that we do this for our fallen friend.
Please join in by donating a shirt to this worthy cause and help fulfill the vision of a racer who gave his all for the love of the sport that we so love ourselves.
