Asking for help....

James “JimmyV” Vanderhaar has been accepted into the 2009 IOM where he plans to contest 5 classes. The title sponsor just cut their commitment 4 days prior to shipping. Now Jimmy is being forced to use every available resource he can to include reaching out to the great interwebs. We are asking for monetary donations of any amount. It doesn’t matter if its $5 or $500, every bit helps.

Those of us who race know the speed at which things change all too well. Parts orders run late, bike issues lead to last minute rebuilds, and car troubles leave us searching for a ride. However none of us have had things change so quickly with such an impact such a stage. So that is why an SOS call is being put out.

Unfortunately the only thing you can be promised in return is the satisfaction of knowing your funds DIRECTLY contributed to someone’s participation in one of the greatest roadracing events in the world. You will know that your funds are directly responsible for Jimmy’s presence if you see him on the TT coverage or in the articles that follow. Imagine being able to say “Hey I helped put that bike there!” if you’re out at a bar and TT highlights are being shown.

Rest assured that Jimmy will be racing and your money will not just go into pockets. An anonymous source has agreed to provide a short term loan so these funds are going towards tires, meals, other necessary racing items, as well as repaying the loan. EVERY dime will be spent on this effort, nothing pocketed.

We are accepting donations in the form of cash, money orders, and personal checks. Send us an email at jimmyvtt2009@gmail.com if you have any questions regarding donations. The same email is tied to our Vanderhaar Racing Paypal account and can be used for donations via that source.

We greatly appreciate all of your donations and look forward to representing you and this great country on one of the world’s biggest stages.

Sincerely,
Stefan “Stillie”Still
