Help Make Dad's Top Fuel Dragster Dream Come True
Donation protected
In October of 2024 my dad was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease) and doctors gave him 2 years to live. There is no cure and as family and friends we want to make as many lasting memories as we can!
My dad celebrates his 70th birthday in July of 2025 and an exciting opportunity has come to make his life long dream come true. As most of you know my dad has been into racing his whole life and one of his dreams has been to drive the most powerful car in the world, a Top Fuel Dragster! A 10,000 hp machine going over 300mph in 1/4 mile. My dad has been going to NHRA events since I was 4 years old taking me every chance he could to experience these cars first hand! Racing is in his DNA. The picture is him at an event!
Although he won't be able to drive one, there is a very rare opportunity to ride in one that only a handful of people get to do every year! It's the only Top Fuel car in the world that you can ride in.
Due to the Larry Dixon Nitro Experience, Larry Dixon a former 3x NHRA Champion, takes passengers along for the ride of their life. As I said these experiences are limited and traveling to Michigan will be required.
The cost for the whole experience is 12,500, however food, hotel and plane tickets are not included. So the goal is 15k. I have included a link to YouTube so you can see what it's all about!
We want to make this a SURPRISE for him which is going to be a challenge as my dad has Instagram and Facebook. So we will need to be secure in sending this out via social media messages and chats or texts to each other spreading the word as much as we can.
FYI, ANY AMOUNT OVER GOAL WILL GO TOWARDS HIS MEDICAL BILLS!
My dad always helps others in so many ways and will always give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. Let's help make his dream come true!! There will be a video I will make and share his experience with all of you who are able and willing to help! Thank you in advance!
