***FRed Lobster Race Family Announcement***
Cancer sucks!! And you know when one of our FL family members needs help, we help!! Ernesto Arango (Teams: It Was Cheap Enough, Elongstang, MILF Taxi, 2 cents, and the Window Lickers) has Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma and due to his extended time of not being able to work, bills, and the Holidays coming up we have decided to host the first ever FRed Lobster Invitational Benefit Race - The Arango Tango 200! This one day extravaganza will include numerous family friendly events including four (FOUR) races: a FL race limited to a 20 car field, a kids powerwheel race, a kids bicycle race, and an adult Mini-bike race. Additionally there will be an auction, a 50/50 drawing, a chance to bet for your winning car, a family movie night (movie picked by Ernesto's kids) and as always camping in the pasture is encouraged.

Your Ideas!!
Ernesto's family includes himself, his wife Kimberly and their 4 kids: Elianna (16) Alyssa (10), Tico (8) and Riley (8). If you can't make the special day and can't donate, please add their family to your prayer list.
The driver's meeting will be Nov 16th at 1:23 pm.
We wish we could include all our race teams in this special event but due to time constraints (including the time change and that it's a one day event) we are limiting this to 20 cars. Even if your race team did not receive an invitation we would still love your participation and donation if possible.
