Former AMA racer Dennis Smith of Sport Tire Services, the Dunlop race tire distributor for the Western U.S., has kicked in $1500 for our Air Fence fund, saying “We want to show our support for racers and for what you’re trying to do.”
Other contributions have come in from ICE Motorsports and Copier1.com as well as individuals Tyson Kamp, Nelo Hakola and Philip Rusin of RC51.net. That brings our total to $19,875 or almost enough for seven beautiful sections of Air Fence.
