Congratulations - The Racers Group Wins Le Mans...!!!!

 

   The checkered flag is out - and The Racers Group will shortly be standing on  the podium receiving the recognition for a First Place GT win at Le Mans that  they so richly deserve. At the same time, many of you share in the credit  for this win - so this is as much your win as if you were standing on the  podium in France - for in my mind and I know I speak for the entire crew and  team of The Racers Group- you share this win. It is yours. My thanks and  congratulations Racers Group!

   At the same time, we made a commitment to launch the Natalie Streather Fund  in a grand way. Adrian and Gail Streather and I have been determined to  bring International focus to this cause - and now, I would like to believe  that we have "won" at this race as well. However, it was - again - only  possible through the efforts, donations and support of some of you. Our  combined thanks. We have come a long way in the past few weeks where much  was at risk, and we will prevail when the Streather Fund re-opens to take in  further funding and donations in the near future. I expect that we will have  a similar "win" with the Fund - and we'll drive hard towards fulfilling its  promise to save children from the scourge of drugs. To note - perhaps it is  only fitting that a decal with "Natalie L. Streather" should be on the  winning GT Le Mans car on Fathers Day, as Adrian Streather has been one of  the driving forces behind this Fund initiative, and as well - behind this  site we call "Rennlist".    

So - here is a list of folks and businesses that I am aware of - who made  this dream come true at two levels - a win at Le Mans for the Racers Group,  and a win for an historical and memorable commencement of the Natalie Streather Fund. My sincerest thanks to each:
