Our buddy Charlie Roberts is asking for help
Charlie Roberts, former announcer at Wall Stadium, Raceway Park, and many other tracks, is in a really tough situation right now. He is waiting on funding for his radio network and in a tight jam.
He lost his first network due to the federal government banning tobacco sponsorship, then lost his parents house from a fire, and later both parents, which he helped support. Allot of things out of his control have brought him to this point.
Charlie is a good guy and has always been there for the racers and fans, and now just needs some financial help to get through this difficult time.
If anyone can, please help out.
If you are interested in investing in his racing network, which will yield a return for investors, please call or email him. It's not just a little local show . . . it's a nationwide network and produces and distributes a motorsports news program that covers all legitimate areas of the sport and creates jobs.
He's been trying (and looking ) to get back to work for a long time and is ready to go. . . Charlie is really is embarrassed to be asking but he just needs a hand to get through this tough time to help him get back on his feet.
Charlie also has a 1970 Mercury Cougar he is trying to sell.
He is in danger of losing his house, so anything is appreciated by him.
Right now money orders made out to "CASH" are the best for him.
I have known Charlie for many years, and this is a really true and desperate issue, or I would not put my name to this..
