As per the CORA executive: Talking with Race City Friday night oval racing is not likely this year. We are still in talks with Rod (Race City Manager) & Art regarding this manner.

We need a primary sponsor for our Oval Racing.We are looking for someone to sponsor a 600 volt/3 phase generator to run the lights at night so we can go back to Saturday Night Stocks at Race City. Anybody that knows anybody that might be interested in being the primary sponsor and bring Saturday Night Racing back to the Race City Motorsports Park Oval please email or call.

WE WILL BE RACING ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 22ND.

If you were at the meeting tonight and left early, it did look like we were going to have to cancel, but we worked out the details and we WILL be racing on Sunday.

Below are the details for times, prices, etc.

Don’t forget – we have 2 CORA cars that can be rented for $100; they come with all gear (coveralls, gloves, helmet, etc). All you need to purchase is gas. If you know anyone who wants to race a claimer, tell them to come out on Sunday and race a rental. Contact Chris if interested (velocityme@hotmail.com).

ALSO – the winner of the “Drive a Claimer Car For a Day” Raffle was EDWINA WAGNER. Congratulations to her, and we look forward to racing with her on Sunday.

We still are a little short of volunteers for Sunday, so if you know anyone who can help out please get in touch with Chris and Kim (velocityme@hotmail.com and kroffel@shaw.ca)

CORA GARAGE SALE #2 FUNDRAISER

August 7 • 9:00am - 4:00pm

16 Whitemont Place N.E.

We need everyone to dig deep in their house and pull out all that stuff you don’t need around, that you’ve been thinking of taking to the thrift store. Also, ask all your friends if they have stuff at their house they’d like to get rid of; almost everyone I know has given me stuff for the last sale or for the next one!

You can drop your stuff off at Dave’s house or we can come and pick up the stuff to make it easier for people; just give me or Dave a call (Dave: 669-4210/Leighsa: 869-2035) so we know if you are dropping stuff off or if you need it picked up.

All proceeds are in support of CORA.

Hey All

Dave Jackson, Willy Rolleman and Dave Cameron came up with a GREAT fundraising idea for CORA…the BIGGEST, HUGEST, AMAZING GARAGE SALE ever!!!!

They thought that almost everyone has stuff at their house they want to get rid of, but they don’t want to have to organize a garage sale….SO, they are proposing a HUGE GARAGE SALE on SATURDAY, JULY 10 at Dave Jackson’s house (16 Whitemont Close NE), in the back alley.  A friend of his just had a garage sale 3 weekends in a row and raised $6,000!!!!

We are asking everyone to donate some items for the garage sale. We would need all items at Dave Jacksons house by Wednesday, July 7^th, so we can get it all priced ahead of time. Contact Dave (drdew77@shaw.ca or 669-4210) or me (leighsa@telus.net or 869-2035) to make arrangements to drop stuff off at Dave’s house. If you have big items (furniture, etc), and have no way to get it to Dave’s house, or if you have stuff to donate but just no time to drop it off , just contact one of us and we can arrange to have it picked up.

We’d like to get some volunteers to help out with pricing stuff on the Thursday, and to help with sales on the Saturday. Dave is going to post info on both websites (CORA and claimercar.com) and I’m sending this email to everyone who’s email I have. Pass it on to anyone you know who would be willing to donate items and/or help out.

They thought we could also sell some pop, chips and have balloons to give out to the kids. Looking for donations to buy this stuff…$5 or $10 bucks would help out greatly. Contact Dave or I to donate to the cause.

I will print up some posters when I get to work next week; anyone who wants some printed posters to put up to draw people to the garage sale can call me to get some, and I will also email the poster, so you can print it up yourself if that is easier for you than coming to pick some up. Dave will also put an ad on Kijiji for the Garage Sale.

Let’s all pull together and get rid of all our old stuff we don’t need and raise some money for CORA!!!

All proceeds from the Garage Sale will go directly into the CORA bank account, to be used for race day expenses, so we can lower our racing fees for each race!!
