I have become involved with the running of a dragstrip in the town where I live, (Harrisburg IL) and we need some help.
Accelaquarter Raceway Park was abandoned back in the 80's and has been brought back to life this year. It is a non-profit organization, registered in the state of Illinois, and all of us that work there volunteer our time. We are affiliated with the Cars for Kids charity, and all proceeds benefit that charity. We had a great inaugral year, with new faces coming each time, and everyone enjoying themselves.
Here's the deal:
We are in need of some things to make our facility better.
More speakers, anytime you hear of an old building coming down or if you see a speaker not in use grab it! we will be putting up all we can get.
P.A. system....
Mercury lights....we will put in new bulbs but we need the fixures first.
An old rollback type wrecker...will not be registered for road use, strictly for pulling broken cars off the track.
Tools, both air and hand....we have a shed in which we have a compressor and some tools for racers to use in the event of a breakdown.
Absolutely anything else you can think of that relates to or would be useful in the operation of a dragstrip.
Anybody that has any of these things, or knows anybody that does please let me know. We have a limited amount of funds available to purchase items, but we really need them donated. I realize times are hard all over, and people don't have much to spare, but any little thing you don't have use for will help. Any donations to us are a tax write-off, as we are a registered non-profit.

If any of you are local, or plan on being in Southern Illinois next year I would love to have you come check it out. All Busa drag racing anyone?
If any of you have questions, or would like further information, shoot me a PM.
Thanks,
Jeremy
