Racers neighbors house burnt down. Right now they are looking for any clothes donations if you can help, last report a local motel is putting them up for free for the week. We all know similar stories, maybe our own, so if you can help out, please try to.n All they have left is what they were wearing.

Thanks,

Mike

Hey Everyone.. This is Steven Downs of Downs Racing and driver of the #39w Bill Woods Motorsports Big Block Dirt Modified. My good friend and neighbor, James, has had a tragic incident tonight. James house caught fire approximately 1 hour ago. The house and its contents appear to be a 100% total loss. The sad thing is that they have their children and grandchildren that reside with them. Im calling on our racing community for help. Any clothes or any toys for the kids would surely be a great help. As I have already stated, there is a total loss and they have nothing. Please send what you can to:

That's terrible news. I'm in process of cleaning out clothes that are all in absolute mint condition, I'll get a package together ASAP.

Kevin Eyres from Wall is donating a van to bring things down there, and they are going to meet at Wall sometime soon and I will let you know if that is convenient for anyone in the Jersey area.

Kevin Eyres drove down to Delaware tonight and dropped off a bunch of clothes and supplies. Thanks to all who helped and intend to help in the future.

Amazing what you can do in 24 hours if you try!

Thanks again!
