debwill Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 Jeff Garvin, who has been our track photographer for years at THR (and TSRS), won't be able to make the races this weekend. He's going through some really tough financial times right now. His car broke down going home from the September 11 races, and it will cost him quite a bit to get it repaired. In the meantime, he's renting a car from day-to-day, trying to make ends meet. He's hoping that he doesn't lose his home while he and has family are going through this tough time. If you can help out this dedicated member of our racing family, e.g., loan him a car, give him some financial assistance, etc., please send me an e-mail at debbie@thunderhillraceway.com, and I'll make sure he gets it. We will also be setting up a box in the garage if anyone wants to just throw in a few bucks to help him out. Jeff did not ask for help, but we offered, knowing that our racing family will be here for him right now. We hope we can count on your support. Quote

gundogC3 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 What kind of repairs does his car need? If I can help, let me know. He live's within a mile from me. Quote
debwill Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Posted September 23, 2010 Here's the answer I got from Jeff regarding his car repairs: Tahoe is at Capitol Chevy in South Austin right now, they are supposed to give me an estimate. I know for sure it needs a radiator and water pump, more than likely a motor. It also needs other repairs like the suspension and brakes. Had some work done to the brakes but still needs more. Quote
BobbyChaffee Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 If I finish high enough in the mini stock feature on Friday I'll donate the winnings to my friend Jeff. Quote
abrungot Posted September 23, 2010 Report Posted September 23, 2010 Another easy way to help is by purchasing photo's from Jeff... Just ordered a bunch from him to make a christmas present for my mom... Quote
debwill Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 Richard Fitch just let me know that he'll be voiding Jeff's bill for towing his car a couple of weeks ago. Thanks, Richard, I'm sure Jeff appreciates your generosity. Quote
debwill Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Posted September 24, 2010 Nice gestures, Bobby and Aaron! Quote

As another photographer, this is so important to us. Knowing very little about Jeff I know this means more than anything else. Quote
