Air Fence Fund donations swelled to over $142,000 thanks to continued support from throughout the motorcycle and road racing community, including a $1000 contribution from Lindemann Engineering. Other new contributors include: Martin Von Wyss, $300; Tom David, $200; Dennis Hurst/Deken Power, $100; Tommy Bright/Logistics & Information, $100; John F. Penrose, $100; CCS/LRRS racer Russ & Lisa Dancho, $100 and CRA racer Stephen Bauman, $55. Nick Tulloh’s donation of $50 is In Memory of Jimmy Adamo.

Here are some comments from today’s contributors:

Tom David – “Thank you, John, for the opportunity to do something constructive with my money. With your guidance and leadership, maybe we can take back the AMA.”

Martin Von Wyss – “Having encountered the wall at the track last race season, I appreciate the value of good protective devices like the air cushions you’re advocating.”

Russ & Lisa Dancho – “This is a great thing you have initiated. Let’s hope that this shows those Ohio bureaucrats that we can, and will, work to take back ‘our’ association.”

Steve Bauman – “It’s way cool for someone to care so much about racers and make something happen. It seems like the AMA is feeling high and mighty and not realizing that without racers they don’t have a race weekend. I hope some day the CRA will be able to use some ‘Fence’ to keep us safer, too. Riding RULES, being injured SUCKS!”
