Sunbury 2008 Race Update
Hello Everyone,
Race insurance has been obtained for June 29 in Sunbury! We have been
battling many obstacles, but this was make-or-break, and we are now good
to go. So, now it's up to us, racers, members, volunteers, to step up
and make this race happen. We can keep drag boat racing alive for DVBRC
but we need your help. There are many positions for the race that need
to be filled, and we need all of our racers to come out to support the
club. Another issue is the cost of insurance. Since we do not have a sponsor
lined up for the race, we are looking for volunteers to organize fund
raisers, to offset the cost of insurance. We are trying to keep the registration
fees as low as possible. We have not collected membership fees this year
because of the tentativeness of the racing program, and since we had to
cancel races in 2007. But without sponsors, the burden falls on the members
if we cannot raise funds elsewhere. Please give serious consideration
and get involved in a fund raiser, and contact the President if you can
get something going. The club will support your fund raising efforts any
way it can, newsletter, web site post, etc.
Thank you, and we WILL see YOU at the race!

Special thanks to Walt Braithwaite for closing the deal for insurance
as he continues through a very difficult time with his health. He has
gone above and beyond to pull the insurance together and get a race date.
Let's show our appreciation by stepping up to fill the needs for the race.
