Dear Honda-Tech guys and gals,

I have a plea for your help here. We are doing the event for the kids at a local Childrens hospital in May '07. I want to get the word out to as many people as possible. I know your cars have been to our event in the past, and Since the word is once again spreading, I thought I would give you a heads up on this. This event is a NOT FOR PROFIT event, and I am only posting this, as there was LOTS Of Honda interest in the last event. I apologize for this being my first post, as a "plug". I sure hope I can have some understanding on that. Thanks mods, and everyone else. check out the photos, you may see someone you recognize!!


Winged Warrior III: Import vs. Domestic Shootout and Car Show!!!!

<u>For Immediate Release</u>:

To: Anyone with a Car and a HEART:
For: The Kids at Riley Hospital for Children (Indianapolis)
When: Saturday May 12, 2007
Where: O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis
http://www.oreillyracewaypark.com (formerly Indianapolis Raceway Park).

As the chill is in the air, and the Family Holidays near, we are about to put an end to 2006. For most of us, this time of year will be filled with joyous times spent with family and friends. For others, it will be times spent in the Pediatric Hospitals, watching their kids/grandkids suffering with this illness or that. It is times like that, that make me humbled and happy that I have a "healthy" family, and my heart goes out to those who are not as fortunate.

If you are unfamiliar with the Winged Warrior Shootout, it is a charity event initially put together by my wife and myself, which started as a "toy drive" at my office years ago. The sole purpose of doing this event is for helping the sick Children at Riley Hospital for Children, here in Indianapolis Indiana. It has expanded over the past three years into a "battle" of the Import vs. Domestic manufactured vehicles and performance challenge, with entrants coming in from as far away as Florida, and celebrities showing up and joining in on the fun as well!!

We are going to do some EXPANDING for next year’s event, as we ran out of room for the spectators and participants the last 2 events we held at local airport properties. Please visit the website WingedWarriors.net to find out more info on the last events. We are actively pursuing celebrity racers as well, and to date, there is a strong interest in those celebrities we have contacted as wanting to participate and race in this event. For more information on these specific details…please contact us directly as we are currently firming up commitments, so the list changes weekly.

The Winged Warrior III event will be run at O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis (formerly known as Indianapolis Raceway Park). The itinerary is being constructed now, and will follow. There are many ways in which you can support the event and at the same time you will also have a link to your business four months after the event on the Winged Warrior website for increased value and exposure. The website sees over 60,000 hits per month and the event itself will see crowds in excess of 5,000 people. (Please look over the sponsor/vendor rates as they are very affordable, and the return on investment should be substantial. There will be plenty of space to display your merchandise or sell some merchandise and at the same time giving to a great cause. We also can provide you with a not-for-profit numbers at the time you decide you want help out in this great cause!! Plus you have the benefit of seeing an AWESOME competition, with an assembly of cars you normally wouldn't get to see at ONE EVENT!!

Where is the Honda love? Anyone going to join their Honda Brethren? Any honda people around Indy on here? Anyone went to WWI or WWII?

 

I spectated both previous years since I didn't make the cut for the second event, and I plan on competing at the next one.

 

i was involved in this event last year. It was a great event for a good cause. Someone come and dethrone the ams time attack car at the autocross.

 

Your chances are better this year!! We will have a "larger" field, and I am picking the Imports myself this time!!

 

Thanks for coming out and helping the "team" whoop up on TEAM USA!!! This one will be moving SMOOTH, and fast paced. I bet you will be happy with that fact!! See you there!

 

That's a long road course if you plan on using it. 15 turns and a lot of pavement in between them.

That AMS Evo is sheer joy to watch.

How about a few laps at Fast Times after the event Losci?

 

I don't see why not Ben that's on my way home.

 

I wanted to go last year, but had something going on that weekend, I would love to go to the next one.

 

Right on.

 

Lets say we have a "tuner shop" class. And I want tuner "A" to compete against tuner "B"(both tune/build SAME TYPE CAR). both can bring a car to drag, and bring another to autox. (2 cars per shop). If the person doesn't have 2 cars to compete, ie: if one is out of commission, that shop can get one of his customers to represent his shop for the event. What are the 2 honda tuner shops you would like to see throw down? Demeree vs ?. Give me some names, I will get in touch with them. In this class, there will be Honda shop "A" vs Honda shop "B", EVO shop "A" vs EVO shop "B", etc.... Just need some names guys!!

This "tuner" shop/unlimited class doesn't effect what the event is for: "average joe"cars and drivers. I want to keep the "deep pocket" cars in their own class. You guys have any feedback on this? good idea? bad one? Thanks in advance for your input!!

 

Don't think there would be enough interest in a "Tuner" grudge match? Hey Batter..........Batter.........batter.

 

Just closed a large Sponsorship deal with Tire Rack yesterday!! This is looking great!!!
