Ride along on One Lap with your name on a STICKER

Pictured is Jim presenting Heather Hibshman, Executive Director of the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition with our official picture of last year effort. Our team was recognized as a Grassroots supporter by the Coalition for our fund raising efforts where we raised over $2000 dollars for 2011. This year Rick is scheduled for a back operation and will not be able to go along but will continue to help raise funds for the Pa.Breast Cancer Coalition and will be puting stickers on his Corvette as well. I encourage you to not delay in making your donation for $10 or more and we will put a"Pink Ribbon" sticker on the car with your name or a loved one's name and you can "ride along" on our One Lap of America and help a great cause at the same time. At this point we are ahead of last years fundraising and are hoping for great things.
Just a quick update on our preparation, we have been going over everything on the car and even did a shakedown run to the Rolex 24 hour race in Daytona and it worked flawlessly and even got reasonable gas mileage. Gas mileage has decreased as the engine power has increased, so we are hoping the predicted major increase in fuel prices doesn't happen before our event in early May.
The entry list is growing and is now up to about 70 vehicles with an amazing mix of vehicles and classes. From Hondas Mini's and VW's to Corvettes Porsches, Vipers, Ferraris, Jaguars and BMW's and every thing in between.Many of the race tracks we will go to will be new to most of the participants. The format gives us one lap to learn the course and then three laps of Time Trial. The Time Trial is much like a qualifying lap in Nascar in that you are not going wheel to wheel with other cars but racing against the clock as are the other cars.
Please make any checks out to Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition and send to Jim Roberts 14 W. Main St. Mount Joy, Pa. 17552

Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition is 2012 Charity for Jimbob Racing



Jim Roberts of Jimbob Racing announces that The Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition will be our charity again this year for our One Lap of America effort. We will again be accepting donations and will be placing a sticker on the car for each donation of $10 or more. Many people have donated and have their own name put on to show their support for the Coalition. Others have put the name of a friend or a loved one who has dealt with this terrible disease. Space is filling up, so don't wait too long if you would like to make a donation. Checks should be made out to the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition, and sent to Jim Roberts at 14 W. Main St. Mount Joy, Pa. 17552. Please mark One Lap in the memo section of the check so we can keep track of the donations. If you see me or Rick cash is also acceptable, just let us know whose name to put on your sticker. Feel free to make donations to put several stickers on the car. With the stickers you can "ride along" on this amazing adventure and donate to a good cause at the same time.
