Steve Buckner - you must be talking about the Crash Video. . . Dude was saying that I crashed into him, I crashed into him? Then he went on to explain to me how I could drive.... lol

He Steve, you've seen the pink kart, isn't she beautiful?

I guess I don't know much about fund raisers.

Are you are a self appointed middle man who has no official connection to these organizations??

My apologies if I'm wrong about this but, please explain if there is a paper trail between me and the nonprofit when going through you because the IRS would be asking me for that if I claim a deduction.

Walt...donations are done directly via Komen's site...all properly recorded...you can just save a copy of donation confirmation for purpose of IRS auditing..if you are one of the very few selected for an audit...

Watching the video..it appears that the pinkpanther driver made the crash worst by pushing the other karts w/ his right hand while kart was mid air...blackbullet pinkpanther livingspace should receive a warning for that. Conclusion - racing incident.

After extensive and in-depth analysis mfg Technology Centre super computer simulation analysis concludes no fault of the heroic and multi talented driver loving know as the Black Bullet. Furthermore the pink panther, cure for breast cancer, MG shod, 2 Wild karting, living spaces sponsored kart is unequivocally from this point on free of any wrong doing in any race attended from this point till eternity.

Walt G - I am not affiliated with either of the organizations. You will receive a receipt from me and a copy of the transaction in your name from either organization. If you submit a check or money order that payment should be written to the 501(c)3 compayny (Susan G. Komen or Breast Cancer Angels) but sent to my p.o. box 30144 santa ana, ca 92735 so we know exactly how much we raise.

If you use the Paypal on our website at http://e3p2010.wix.com/1 then the payment generates a receipt from the Paypal account which I mail to all and also Susan G. Komen or Breast Cancer Angels will also send you a receipt for your donations. 100% of funds less the PayPal fees go to the 501(c)3 organization.

There will be an award ceromony presenting all funds to both organizations on video which all who contributor will receive as well. Your name and the amount of your donation will be read during the presentation.

If you have any additional questions, please post.

Just getting home from the Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure walk in Costa Mesa, CA. I will post pictures later at the web site.

Steve - both bearings in the spindles are broke, WTF? not fixed yet.

Alex - No comments. Did you send that check yet?

Mike G - Are you making the Last Shifter Kart Race of 2012 with LAKC in a few weeks.

I think wife handled it - i think she donated $888 (chinese good luck numbers...). Thanks for making a push to a good cause.

Elbert,

This is such a great cause. I'm disappointed I've missed every LAKC race this year so I have not seen you in action with the awesome pink body work!

I'd sincerely like to thank you for your cause and turning it into your rationale for karting. There are many people in the karting family, including the Manning's, who genuinely appreciate your efforts.

Very Happy
