vette racer help
Hey Everyone -
In case you don't know, last weekend was the SCCA Runoffs at Road America where some of our fellow members were racing for the national championship. Unfortunately, things didn't go all that well for a good portion of them, with at least one car totaled, and others with huge repair bills. The totaled car belongs to member rasrboy (Aaron Quine), an all around great guy, great racer, and unfortunately, a low buck racer.
You can see pix of his car (before and after) here.

Other threads with info:

Total involved racers:
1. Aaron Quine, C5 (severe $20k ish) [rasrboy]
2. Jason Berkeley, C5 (bad, $10k ish or more) [jasonberkeley]
3. Tom Sloe, C5 (bad, $10k ish or more)
4. Jim Lynch, Viper (bad, $10k ish or more)
5. Mike Pettiford, C6 ((bad, $10k ish or less)
6. Mike McGinley, C6 (moderate)
7. John Heinricy, C6 (slight)
8. Joe Gaudette, C5 (slight) [sleeper02Z06]
Aaron definitely needs our help getting back out to racing, and most likely the others as well. Unfortunately I only have Aaron's contact info, but I'm trying to track down the others. I've talked to Randy at DRM, and hes going to try to help out as best as they can. Gary Hoffman at Hardbar is also helping Jason out where he can.
I personally am sending Aaron a wee bit of cash. I wish I could buy him a new car, but that simply isn't in the cards for now. Can any of you help these guys out? Any little bit will help (spare parts, cash, alcohol, etc). Please spread this around and get it in front of as many people as you can. If you want to contact them, I've included their forum usernames above.
Thanks for helping a brother out.

Aaron is definitely one of the good guys. 
He helped me out with tires at Road America in 2007 and again at the 25 hour endurace race at Thunderhill in 2008. Unfortunately this is part of racing, though this was a particularly bad incident... 
If you are inclined to help him out, be assured you are making a good decision.
