Doing Some Good in the Neighborhood
(September 9, 2009) It seems as though Glenn and Christy and their dragster never rest. The division 7 racers are on a quest to bring smiles and help to some local non-profit organizations. The first event was the “Surfest ’09” for the American Legion Post #291 on Balboa Island, California. It was a car show/chili cook-off that benefited the post. “The response was overwhelming” Christy said. “Especially, when we fired it up for everyone” Glenn added. (76)
The 2nd event they attended was the “Waves 4 Wheels” Chili cook-off and Car show for the Elks Club in Huntington Beach. There were lots of beautiful cars and great chili too! “Thank goodness I brought my Rolaids” Christy said. “There were approximately 15 chili competitors and she tried about 5 different kinds.” Glenn stated (55)
The 3rd show was back at the American Legion Post #291. It was called “Provide a Ride”. This show was unique in that it brought the visually impaired together with bikers and allowed them to go on a short ride on Harley’s, and Honda’s, or whatever bike was available. “It was an awesome experience” said one of the riders to Christy. Approximately 120 bikers showed up and 25 visually impaired riders, not bad for the 1st annual event at the Post. (81)
