I just returned from the Grand Prix of Mosport, where the series and a lot of the teams are contributing to the Salvation Army and collectors from the Sally Ann were on the grounds collecting from the generous Canadian fans. Dave Maraj, who owns ADT Champion Racing and large Champion Porsche and Champion Audi dealerships in Florida, is donating $100,000 worth of new clothing and personal care items plus whatever he can collect in his dealership in the time it takes his transporter to return to Pompano Beach from Canada; then he will have it loaded up and the team driver will take it to Lafayette LA where the sister of an employee who lived there and whose town is wiped out will have charge of distribution. He said that he was giving clothing (NEW clothing) because he felt that people who had been living in the same clothing for ten days needed tangible proof that life would get better. Flying Lizard Motorsports donated their prize money to the hurricane reiief, and so did other teams. Everyone wants to help. It's wonderful to see.
(would that be considered a major donation from 'racists' ? )
