Help ZBR Rebuild From Thieft Damage
Donation protected
First let me Thank our supporters that helped us make it to Sacramento. My Mom will remember that weekend for life, Thank You!
I am sorry to say that I am forced to do something that does not come easy for me, and that is to ask for your help once again. A week after the the Sacramento trip the whole racing operation was stolen! (9/21/15) We were and are devastated! Truck, Trailer, Race Car and everything we had in it that made it possible for us to go racing was gone, including a quad and generator that I had borrowed. We recovered the truck and empty trailer, both of which had extensive damage a few days later.
It wasn't until Jan 8th of this year, I received a text from the Sheriffs Dept. asking if the cover picture was of my race car... (Or what was left of it) besides what you see in the picture we also recovered the rear end, tires and wheels but the Chassis was cut to pieces!
To say we lost everything is an under statement! right down to the fuel jugs, folding chairs & tables, even the remote for the winch is gone!
The Drag Racing community is made up of great people who have been donating some parts to try and help us rebuild our race car, but we have run short on money. This is the reason it took us 10 years to build our first car that was stolen in just 18 months.
No we did not have insurance on it, as I didn't know you could insure a race car. The new car will have insurance, be sure of that!
You can keep up with our progress if you like, via our race page on facebook (Zero Budget Racing - West Coast).
So if you could please Donate what ever you can and be assured that what ever the amount we are very grateful for your support.
Thank You All!
