RED FLAG FUND TO HOLD AUCTION AT ROAD AMERICA
Auction to be Held July 7 during ASRA/CCS and MOTO-ST Race Weekend
Sussex, WI – (May 5, 2007) Organizers of the Red Flag Fund announced they will hold the fund's inaugural charity auction July 7, 2007, at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI, to benefit seriously injured motorcycle roadracers. The event will be held during Road America's ASRA/CCS and MOTO-ST race weekend, which is expected to draw hundreds of top regional and national competitors.
"The Red Flag Fund Auction will raise both money and awareness for our cause," said Red Flag Fund President Jeffery Kufalk. "And we're thrilled to be able to hold our very first auction event at Road America, one of the premiere natural road courses in the country, with a full weekend of motorcycle racing on tap."
The Red Flag Fund Auction will begin at 7 PM on Saturday, July 7, in the Buell Motorcycle Company hospitality tent located in Road America's competition paddock. The live auction is expected to feature hundreds of motorcycle and racing related donated items with all proceeds benefiting the Red Flag Fund. Food and beverages will be available through Road America's concessions.
"We have already received many generous donations of auction items, but we' re actively seeking more since this will be our primary fund raising tool this season," said Kufalk. "Please contact us if you have auction items to donate, this is going be a great event for a great cause."

I posted this on a Buell website. Maybe some will help out.
Thanks man! Spread the wealth!!! And with it being the Buell Homecoming, that should help.
Going for the lucky sevens hey? 7/07/07................ :thumb:
at 7:00pm too! LOL... fate kinda dealt us that one (beats 6/6/6 though so I'm not complaining!)
All I can say is START SAVING NOW!!!
You might even contact Temme or Tim Stryuk (hope that's spelled right, I didn't take the time to look it up) about a home RE-FI.
We are getting some absolutely incredible donations. We'll publish a list later this month, but suffice it to say there's some GREAT stuff that will be up for grabs..
This is not to say we're complete though! We still need stuff, so if you're looking to donate an item, please let us know ASAP...
Thanks everyone!!!

close jeff...
Struyk.
Tell ya what... if you do contact me for a refinance or purchase between now and the time of the auction, and I close your loan, I will donate $100 to the Red Flag Fund in your name.
Keep in mind that the process of a refinance free's up not only the monthly savings that we help you establish, but it also comes with the bonus of not having a house payment for up to 2 months. (thats like 2 free race weekends for alot of people!!!) On new home purchases I can set it up to give you 6 MONTHS WITH NO PAYMENT!!!!... I would think moving in July without a house payment until 2008 would be pretty damn cool!! :cheers:
Our current promotions include some INCREDIBLE rates on conventional 30 year fixed rate programs, along with anything and everything else offered in the market. Interest only, cash flow option arms, Home Ownership Accelerator loans, Equity Savings programs.... you name it, we have it.
I am not liscensed in all states (yet) but pick up additional states occasionally... places I know I can do business include (but definately not limited to) Missouri, Indiana, Illinoise, Wisconsin, Kansas... heck that covers most of the great plains and midwest...
PM, or email me at tstruyk@hometownequitymortgage.com :thumb:

Jeff & Everyone!
Hope the auction beats all the "old" records. It's a fantastic fund you have set up here.
I am sad that I'll miss it this year. It'll be the first year I've missed since 1992... in the Wegman days. I hope everyone comes to the event with as much spirit and good will as in the past. I have no doubt it will be awesome.
I'd love to be able to buy something, even though I'm not there... wondering if there's a website coming soon that will allow me to buy something to wear here in Sicily? I'd love to sport something here that has some American racing influence. Everyone here is way into Moto GP and all the clothing and hats. I'm forced to buy Rossi-wear (JONK 46 clothing line).
Life here in the land of motorcycles is awesome, you don't have to explain to anyone what superbike means.
Good luck, everyone...

Russ, I might be able to shoot you some pics or post some of the clothing we have for auction here. Would be great to get you something. Will definitely miss you at the auction. It was always a lot of fun.
Press releases will be coming shortly announcing our totals, but it was a great first auction for us! Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
Russ, I'm sorry I didn't get you your photos. I will shoot you an email with a few ideas as I do have more items. (y'all didn't think we auctioned everything did you??!)
Jeff. Are you going to post a link to the stuff that didn't sell that you're putting on Ebay?
