Re: Hero of the Week.....

Wow, I am at a loss for words. No too many other motor sports that have a following like this.

Re: Hero of the Week.....

I think Larry is going to have a lot of free margaritas to drink and cigars to smoke or pass around.

First round is on me.

Re: Hero of the Week.....

Larry, thanks for the photo. Hope you heal quickly and get back on your feet and out of that hospital. What a warrior you are. I guess with injuries like that, you're thankful they are not worse and that you're alive.

Re: Hero of the Week.....

Wow. That's a strong spirit and will to live. Heal quickly!

Re: Hero of the Week.....

I vote him "Fan of The Year!" BIG TIME!

I wonder sometimes what in heck is it that we love so much about this sport... Larry Cruz and his can do attitude answers that question perfectly!

The look on his face is worth millions of words!

Re: Hero of the Week.....

Larry is the best governor builder there is. If it was not for Larry, the Two of Hearts T-6 would never have posted the speeds it did.

I owe Larry more than drinks and cigars, but also know he would never ask for more.

If there is anything I can ever do for you Larry, I and the whole crew for Two of Heart and now Tin Lizzie will make it happen.

Get well soon my friend!!

Re: Hero of the Week.....

I know you guys are getting tired of hearing from me. lol

In case any of you missed my request for help in the Family Assistance Fund thread, I thought I'd bump this thread up.

The Fund and I are trying to help Tracy Cruz get some remodeling done before Larry comes home on Nov. 13th.

They live in Graham, Washington, about 45 minutes from Seattle. We need some manpower, materials, and money donations. For additional info, please have a look at the Family Assistance Fund thread, or just get hold of me by PM, email or phone. I'll be happy to fill you in.

Thanks much everyone.

Re: Hero of the Week.....

What... get tired of the "Mother Teresa of Air Racing".... NEVER!!!

Hey, start a new thread... use the photo of Larry in it.. I'll stick it (make it stay at the top)

I've got a bad back and limit what I do physically but will pitch in for this one if I can manage to get up there for a day, or two.. I'm about 2.5 or 3 hrs southwest of Seattle... Let me see what I can get together with my local beach bum crowd (Southwest WA coast, Northwest OR coast clan)

Tired of you?? YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Hero of the Week.....

Yeah Wayne, Mother Teresa, that's me. Not! lol

As I read the article, I too was thinking his money won't be good in Reno next year. I will have a good Maduro with his name on it with me, should I happen to run into him.
