🏁🔥 RACING FAMILY, WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🔥🏁
I’m posting this on behalf of one of the best families in our racing community, the Warhurst family.
Last weekend, on their way home from the track, a battery exploded inside their trailer and started a fire. Thanks to Jerrad’s quick actions and a few fire extinguishers, everyone is safe and the fire was stopped before it became a total loss.
Many people have heard that the karts are okay, and while that is absolutely something to be thankful for, that doesn’t mean everything else is.
The trailer sustained significant damage, and they lost or damaged a huge amount of equipment including tools, batteries, fire gear, tires, racing supplies, and countless other necessities that took years of hard work and sacrifice to accumulate.
On top of replacing damaged equipment, they are also facing trailer repairs including replacing damaged wood, repairing and rewiring electrical components, repainting affected areas, and deep cleaning the trailer to remove the smoke and fire damage odor. The costs add up quickly, even when doing as much of the work themselves as possible.
Anyone who knows Jerrad, Linsey, Dakota ,Karsyn , Ryley, and Avery knows they are the type of people who would be the first to help someone else in need. Now it’s our turn to help them.
What makes this even more heartbreaking is that Ryley and Avery are coming into town soon, and because so much of Ryley’s racing equipment was damaged in the fire, there’s a real possibility she won’t be able to race while she’s here. A visit that should be filled with family time and racing memories is now filled with uncertainty.
The Warhursts aren’t asking for anything. I’m asking.
