Racers Donate Winnings

Just Found Out That Reliable Carriers As Well As Whm Motorsports Has Donated Prize Money To Us To Help Rebuild---this Was An Unexpected Blessing From People Who Have Had Similar Incidents As Ours. This Was An Unbelievable Act Of Kindess That Was Very Appreciated And Will Never Be Forgotten- We Really Need The Help If We Are To Return. We Would Also Like To Thank David Woods At Pier 57 For Always Being There And Having Faith In The Underdogs. Someday We Will Finish Our Laps In Fort Myers.....14and 1/4 To Go.

Thumbs up Re: Racers Donate Winnings

Billy & Lisa,

It just doesn't get much better than that!

The people in your organization never cease to amaze me!

I was really impressed with your jump to the lead and was hoping for a great finish.

The emotions that ran through me in those few minutes were excitement for you both - to concerned when hearing them announce you flipped - to relieved to hear you were both ok.
What a roller coaster!

Something tells me you will make PR.

You have tons of support and I wish you both the best!

Good luck!

P.S.
Thank You Reliable Carriers and WHM Motorsports and the rest of you that are helping out in many ways with repairing the boat!

Re: Racers Donate Winnings

having come from the stock car world, it never ceases to amaze me as to the generosity and compassion that powerboat racers have for each other, the communities in which we race and for charities in those communities. you all are first class and i am proud to be in the world of offshore powerboating with you all. see you in puerto rico. doc
