When I read the news my jaw dropped. Tis' a sad day for sure. The auction was one guaranteed day that we would all get to blackhawk. Our agenda was Wegman Auction and AMA@RA yearly.....but as was stated he has worked very hard and I'm sure had a hell of a work load. To that, Thanks Gordy for all you've done and for all the people you've helped.  I'll be at the auction just like the others, I'll be the drunk guy bidding against himself. 

I'm a wisconsinite...Live in La Crosse...not sure what I can do to help though 8)

Hey everyone thanks for all the props, your kind words are truly appreciated but, I was just the middle man that gave your money to the injured racers. You people gave your hard earned dollars every year at the auction and any other time a racer needed help, like now with Brad and Jason. Thank you for that.

I have been approached by the Racing2SaveLives group about continuing the Wegman Fund. These people are well known in the racing world and are already set up as a non-profit so it may be an easy matter to transfer things to them.

I'm not at all saying Alexa and anyone else here is not capable of doing it but it takes a really dedicated group of people to keep this going. It is very time consuming and everyone here has their hands pretty full already.

The R2SL group has a staff of volunteers already on that are very good at fund raising and I'm sure could handle this with little or no problems.

I will speak with them and see what they have in mind. Meanwhile if there is a group of people here willing to do this, you need to get together and make a decision to do it. Then we would sit down and talk about what you need to do to take over the fund. I may be talked into staying on the board of directors, at least for awhile to get things rolling. Remember this needs to be done before the end of the year.
