Norman Blake needs your help

Jack Matyas · 01-22-2025, 03:29 PM

Many of us 'old timers' know and remember Stormin' Norman Blake - for many decades he was the go-to guy for photos in D1 and Raceway Park always .Seems that Mr.Blake is in a bad way financially and could use our help .I personally know Norman since the early seventies and has always been a stand-up guy .You can help him at - Gofundme.com ..............many of us 'owe' him for the memories we now have hanging in our 'mancaves' and elsewhere . Do it today .........

So this will go over like fart in church but needs to be said, how do you get to 70 years old and not qualify for SS, meaning he didn’t work/pay into SS for the minimum 10 years to earn 40 credits and knowing that, he then never saved any $ for retirement and now ask for handouts?

This message is hidden because 1320racer is on your ignore list.

Wild guess here...something negative and not related to helping him??
Second post in and the thread is ruined?

Gofundme.com under "Norman Blake"?
Looking now.

Edit: Here's the link, https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-n...6afdfb7f63e6de
No paypal though but there is "google pay" which works too.

Hope you're proud of yourself kicking a guy when he's down - that plus you don't know the circumstances which he has .And it didn't need to be said ! ! !

I said what needed to said when you come here asking for hand outs for a guy that’s had 50 years to get his shyt together!

So Jack if he’s such a great guy and you’ve known him forever then why….

1.did you let him get in this bad way?
2. Why haven’t you bailed him out?

It just never ends. Opinion can be justified by the quality of it's form. Caustic, classless posts are very much unappreciated by me. If you don't have something respectful of other's to posts, STFU you self indulgent ***.

Ed,
You are nothing more than an insecure, self inflicted jerk looking to enhance your minimal qualities to this audience.
Please remove yourself graciously from this forum.
Frank

Thanks Jim for posting a link, quite possibly the extra ?attention? helped Norman reach its goal. Really want some beautiful flowers to grow? You try to cover them with horse poop. God is good.

Frank, isn't this YOU that announced your gracious departure from this forum?

I will not continue to post on this forum.

Oh and Frank where's your donation to this guy?

You want me to disappear because you're uncomfortable with my opposition to your disillusioned opinions, I will not stand for your disrespectful behavior. It's unwarranted and unwanted. Can you not see the broad disapproval of your abusive rhetoric?
