It funny cause we always say "DRAW is the best kept secret in drag racing!" We are really pushing this year to get the word out, using forums like this where the drag racers hang out works best for me. Most of the ladies on the Board are in their 60 and 70's so social media is beyond their grasp. I hope nobody I know on here ever needs it too.

Well the new website has been up for a few months. Its pretty neat and a great learning experience for me since I have never done a website before, never the less from scratch! Here is the link, any input or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

NHRA Pro Stock racers Rodger Brogdon and Steve Kent have always been huge contributors to DRAW over the years. They picked up this bad ars pit car at a drag race and have donated it to DRAW for our annual auction in Dallas at the AAA Texas. Its has a plastic sb chevy mock up block with real valve covers, hi rise intake and dual quads. Custom made front straight axle, V-2 Briggs and Stratton motor, JR dragster rear slicks and a cut down 9" ford rear axle housing that covers the chain drive. It will run 50 mph and hold a full sized adult. I cant wait to see what this bad boy sells for.
Thanks again to Steve and Rodger for all they do for DRAW :!:

Resetting the bar to a way high level !
I'm guessing it brings 18K

Harbone

I hope so DD! The starting bid is $5K, I am hoping someone like John Force or Texas Motorplex owner Billy Meyer step up with some big bids. We are really excited and have hopes that it ends up selling in the $20K plus range. The wife and I have made reservations to fly down and spend the weekend working the auction, we went down 2 years ago and had a great time. The people in Texas are some of the nicest people you can ever meet and some of the biggest contributors to DRAW.

As some of you know I have been involved with the Drag Racing Association of Women (let the flaming begin) for over 15 years and currently hold the position of Vice President of the Board of Trustees
For those of you that dont know what DRAW does, it is a charity foundation that give financial and emotional support to to any racer or team member that is injured while attending a sanctioned drag race. We have given almost 5 milllion dollars to over 800 families in the last 30 years.
Every year we have a large charity auction at The Texas Motorplex on Saturday night after qualifying of the AAA Texas Fall Nationals.
I hope to see some of you there!

Not only is this the complete set of six, but each of the six is signed on the back by the racers depicted on the card. The cards are framed in a clear glass frame so you can see both sides of the cards. It’s doubtful that the winner of this item will ever see another set of these.
