Unique Racing Memorabilia for a Cause.(Column)
Byline: Dutch Mandel
You think it's tough to get insurance? Be a race team member. That job is like crab fishermen when getting love (and a reasonable premium) from an insurance company.
That's when the Championship Auto Racing Auxiliary steps in. For years CARA has helped racer families in medical and financial crisis. Hence this annual auction.
Here's how it works: Go to autoweek.com. Check out the goods, complete with descriptions and pictures. Place your bid. Watch closely. When the auction closes-5 p.m. EST Friday, Dec. 1-you could win. Only online bids are accepted.
These are collectible gifts you can't get elsewhere. So bid high. Here goes:
* A Bridgestone Firestone race tire signed by the drivers at the Road America race. Proceeds go to the Cristiano da Matta Recovery Fund.
* Original race tickets (in a matted frame) signed by winners of each 2006 IRL race, 14 total races. Winners include Sam Hornish Jr., Tony Kanaan, Helio Castroneves, Scott Dixon, Dan Wheldon and first-time winner Marco Andretti.
