HI ALL,

Just a quick note to alert you about GMC Land speed record attempt and the
CMT Donation campaign sponsored by Jim K at Applied GMC.

Applied GMC is helping get the word out to all of our customers and
contacts in the hopes that you will consider donating the CMT cause. To
view a quick summary click on the document link below.

https://at170.infusionsoft.com/app/linkClick/141/44bee79fd7bec6a9/3099/ade4dd03186c13de

If you recall the event at the Salt Flats was rained out last September.

We currently have in excess of $3500 for the cause and but only 55 people
in the Donation Drawing for 3 different prizes of value over $1000 each.
Remember that each $25 achieves one opportunity in the Donation Drawing to
be held in late AUGUST, 2015. At that time Britt Palmer, who suffers from
CMT, has committed to the quest of breaking the record for "Worlds Fastest
Motorhome". hopefully exceeding 140 MPH.

Forward your donations to me at tepryor@gmail.com using Paypal. Make sure
you call your money transfer in Paypal is called a donation, otherwise
Paypal gets suspicious when called a raffle or a drawing. You can also use
my address below for check contributions.


Regards,

Tom Pryor

Speed Week has been cancelled.
Only 2 1/4 miles of dry land.
The rest is too wet.

I hope this doesn't effect donations but the SCTA (Southern California Timing Assn) just announced the cancellation of Speed Week 2015. There is only 2 1/2 miles of useable salt.

Kerry Pinkerton - North Alabama Had 5 over the years. Currently have a '06 Fleetwood Discovery 39L

There's still a chance.

The next possible race at Bonneville will be September 29, 2015 during the
World Finals Event. I am pre-registered to attend the event. Hopefully we
will get some dry weather over Wendover, UT to dry out the track before
then.
Brit Palmer

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Don't let this deter you from donating for the cause. Also in the big picture a week, a month or even a year is not that much time when considering a 40 year old vehicle. I tryed Paypal and had issues so will try again today. Couldn't log in, might be my satelite internet throttle.

I just read that the event has been cancelled again this year--very unfortunate.
