    STEADFAST - FAN SPONSORS - PROP FUND

    OK... here's the deal.. Don't know if many of you are aware of how much Will Whiteside's airplane "SteadFast" is over his personal budget.. but it's MOSTLY over his budget!

    This guy LIVES for air racing, has a very modest income and I hope Will does not mind me revealing this.. Most of his income goes into that racer!

    Well, he's in trouble, and needs help now!

    I know we've been asking a lot of all of you lately, ShawnAid, Hard Drive Fund, the calendar sales.. all of it..

    But we're here again passing the cup..

    If you want to help Will and crew get to Reno, click on the donation button on the site, put STEADFAST PROP FUND in the "item" box on the donation form..

    AAFO.COM will ensure that all donations made to this fund will make it to Will ASAP...

    If you're not comfortable with online billing, PM me and I'll get you Will's direct mailing address..

    OK..

    Thanks in advance.. my bookkeeper, (me) is grumbling at the extra effort but Will and SteadFast are WELL worth it!!

    I have not heard from Will yet, but will be happy to put my hat in the ring to help out where I can, and donate the labor to build his prop.

      This is cool... so far due to a kick off donation by Mike "BeachBoss" Biehn (sp?) of $200! We're currently at $260. and donated labor by Wayne Johnson... (Wayne, if you turn out to be the Wayne Johnson I played in a band with a century ago, I'll have to pinch myself!)

      I'm seeing a new prop vision... gonna keep that vision in my mind!!!

      You guys and gals are the best!!

        This is a great thread Wayne!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Helping the racers get to Reno.

        As you noted in your thread about the your hard drive not being recoverable, and that we could do whatever we wanted concerning our donations.

        I would like to donate my $25.00 to Wills prop fund.

        Is that possible?

            Wayne, I wanted to say thank you. This is entirely unexpected. Yes, what you wrote is true. The cost of running an unlimited air racing team is overwhelming.
            I cannot believe that our friends and fans are coming out of the woodwork to help our cause.
            You cannot imagine how much help my friends and acquaintances have been during this journey! I really owe so much to the people that help me on a regular basis. The community is full of excellent people. I cannot wait to give back what I have taken. To those who have donated already, thanks. To those who are changing the title of their donation of “Hard Drive” to “SteadFast” I just cannot believe how generous you are. This means a lot to me and I would like to run a couple of decals on the airplane to recognize your generosity. Will someone come up with an idea and a few decals to show on the Yak this year? “Rare Bear used “FANSPONSOR” What will we use, the same?
            That said, thank you very much for being fans of the worlds fastest and most expensive motorsport. We owners put out a lot of money, life, blood, sweat and tears to put on the show no matter what the hurdle. SteadFast is proof that you can do it. Join us. We will have 10-12 different articles of clothing to sell this year. I will post photos of them ASAP. We have black and white T-shirts of 3 different designs. Polo shirts, SweatShirts hats. Girls apparel this year is spaghetti straps, V-neck, wifebeaters and the famed SteadFast thongs and Boyshorts.
            We will also have stickers available so you can show your support in many ways this year at the Steadfast booth. Thanks Again.
            Sincerely,
            Will Whiteside
            Team Steadfast

                    UPDATE:

                    With a couple of conversions from the HardDrive fund, we're currently at

                    $575.!!

                    Talked with Will tonight and he's in need of about $2,000. to make the prop happen!

                    We've got three weeks!

                    Airport Fence Productions, Inc. (ha!) is gonna try to help Will convert his site into one where you can easily buy T-Shirts and other offerings from TeamSteadfast! In the near future...

                    Thanks Air Race Fans! Once again, you are proving that you are, the very best of the best of Race Fans!!!!!!!!!

                    One quick request and you "adopt" a Racer!

                    I propose that, "SteadFast" become the NEW "People's Racer"!!

                    Rare Bear previously held that title, she's in good hands now! New owner, wants to take very good care of her..

                    Will, on the other hand, is a HOT stick, ready to burn up the Pylons, but, unlike Rare Bear, he needs OUR help to make it happen!

                    Your DOLLAR might make the difference!

                    And I mean that.. ONE single DOLLAR might make the difference!

                    Watched Will fly a lot during filming of "Thunder Over Reno".. he practices a lot! Whenever he can, flies a LOW and very exciting line..

                    He is, for sure, one to watch!!

                    Thanks for your continuing support of this sport!!

                            Wayne, I ran into Will this year at the Pacific Coast Dream Machines in Half Moon Bay. Had a great time talking to him. I would love to send off another 25 for Steadfast. Hey Will I bought a shirt last year and I will stop by and get another one this year. See you in about 20 Days
