      Calling the RAT PACK!

      I am calling on all the Rat Pack members! I hate for this to be our first official action, but then it is for a tribute to a great soul.
      The family of Todd Gartshore has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Victory Junction Gang. I think it would be nice and a gesture of kindness for everyone that is a Rat Packer to pool our donations and send it to them in Memory of our friend Todd. No need for huge donations, any amount is welcomed, the final donation will go as from the Rat Pack, not individual people.
      Anyone else interested in donating, feel free to contact me or just donate directly to Victory Junction in Memory of Todd.
      As a community I feel this is a great way to honor his memory. If everyone likes, we could make a huge donation and call it the Rat Pack and Friends tribute to Todd.
      If you are interested in donating, you can paypal me at billybigblock @ gmail DOT com.
      Do it as a gift, since it is and note it as donation to the Victory Junction Gang, in memory of Todd Geartshore.

      Great cause in memory of """an incredible member of our community""",,,,,, rest in peace my friend and know the RatPack and friends are circling to continue a legacy of positive community involvement, and in this case fund raising in your name that is more than well deserved...

      Count on my "FULL" support here and I hope others will find it in their hearts to do what they can ,, and hopefully participate in this worthy effort.... As Bill said,,, it's not the amount,, do what you can and show the Gartshore family just how thankful we really are for enjoying/sharing Tod's time here on earth with us.... He did a ton for the community at large ,, which BTW was almost endless both in Pro-touring and SEMA circles.......

      Bill,

      Thanks for helping remember Todd, and helping others. We will be sending in a donation. I hope all of the good people at Baer Brakes are holding up well through this sad time.

      Do you have to be officially in the Rat Pack or can us lesser souls jump in?

      I was thinking of driving it out for the LSfest event.. would that count? The only problem is my mom is visiting that week from Texas and the drive would take something like 3 days, right? (as opposed to shipping the car and flying out).

      Will shoot over some $$ today

      A couple things guys

      1. I am blown away at the number of people that have donated because
      a. Then met Todd and he was the same cool cat to them he was with everyone
      b. Todd helped them out on a problem, at events, at home on their builds, etc
      c. Todd supported our community and they want to show their appreciation

      Todd was that guy for sure, thanks everyone.


      2. The only thing keeping anyone out of the ratpack is 2000 miles on a trip(s) in their car. Anyone that has done a powertour or decent roadtrip qualifies, not hard to get into this club. If you can show me you have done it, just pm me.

      Todd was definitely "One of the Best". He was one of key supporters of pro-touring and our events. This is a great way show our support!

      X2 Yancy,,,''''Todd walk the talk and lived the hobby'''''. He can be directly associated with more positive actions and influence in our little corner of the hobby than I can begin to recall... May God bless You Buddy...

      I fly out to Phoenix in the morning to attend the memorial service on Wednesday. If you want to be part of this donation, now is the time.
      Thanks!
