Chris "Drooze" Wertman Memorial Fund

No problem, I have been trying to keep busy, and keep my mind of some things. I will get your decals out first thing tomorrow. And if I owe anyone else any decals, please dont hesitate to let me know. I just still am not as focused as I used to be..

Maple Grove may be our last race this year.. But I certainly look forward to meeting you when that opportunity does come about.

Once again, thanks!!!!!!! Your generosity is truly appreciated, and I do apologize for not being more timely on getting the decals out to you.

God Bless and Thanks!

Thanks David for the update. I look forward to receiving the decal and will promptly apply to my car in honor of Drooze.

I still have some decals left! I will be at the Div.2 race at Reynolds so please find me and get your decal! I don't know where I will be parked but look for the Gadsden (yellow "don't tread on me" "tea party" flag) and I will be glad to give you one. I plan on riding around in the golf cart so just flag me down! Jim

David,

Congradulations on Maple Grove on your good showing. However, I still have not received my decals. Address is: 225 Charlwood Road, Irmo, SC 29063

Thanks, Butch

Thanks to all who donated and picked up some of the "Drooze" decals this weekend at Reynolds! I still have a few left for those who would like some. Just mail me a check or cash. $5 minimum per decal. Thanks in advance. Jim

Here we are in Las Vegas...It is cold and windy, but we are here.

We are pitted with the Stockers. As we always are......

And we have Decals available for anyone who may be interested.

Just drop by our trailer and say hello, whether you wish decals or not. It is always terrific to meet others from Class Racer.

Thanks for all of the past generosity of racers. And thanks in advance for those who wish to purchase decals. As already mentioned, the entire proceeds from the stickers goes into the Chris Wertman Memorial fund, administered by Chris's mother Linda, to the benefit of his three children.

Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing you.

Never met Chris its heartbreaking what happened to him.Hard to find people with his enthusasim and desire.I found this link

Thanks for posting that video link. It has been a very long time since I saw it, and it was really good to see it again, and remember how much work the guys from DIY AutoTune put into it. They were great on all accounts, and if we had followed their advice and tested at local tracks before hitting the gig time, we would have been a lot better off. Great guys and their efforts and friendship will never be forgotten.

We had a great deal of help all along the way, and this week in Las Vegas, I continue to meet some of them I knew, and some I didn't know before but they all knew Chris, either in person, on the phone, or just here on classracer. He was a raging fire that burned too brightly and for too short a time. Thanks for remembering him.

That was a great video David,,,,,first time I've seen it. Though it was a lot of hard work, it looks like there was some fun along the way also.
So sorry for your loss,,,but congratulations on your recent adventures. Keep the ball rolling and good luck to you and the team the rest of the way. Theres a lot of us pulling for you.
