Leighton Dillard Memorial Raffle WIN ADAM DRAKE LOSI TRUGGY & MIKE TRUHE BUGGY
 

March 6th, 2010, RC Racing lost one of its family. Leighton Dillard or as he was affectionately known Big L died on the drivers stand during the PyscoNitroBlast in Atlanta. Leighton was well known all over the southeast in RC Racing. He had a passion for it like no other. Five years ago, he helped open the “Leighton Dillard Memorial R/C Park” formerly known as “Trackseekers R/C Park" . He had two dreams, one was to have a track that would host a professional race and the other was to “Run with the Big Boys”. Last year, HIS track hosted an R/C Pro Race. He designed the track and was soooo proud. (Dream number one came true). When Leighton died, Adam Drake and Mike Truhe were on the drivers stand next to him. He was running with the Big Boys when his heart failed him and he died on the drivers stand with them. Leighton Dillard was 41 years old when he died. He loved his family and provided for them when he was alive. However, like a lot of us, he did not have provisions for them in the event of his untimely death. Shellie, Chris and Jessica need our help. Adam and Mike are doing their part to help, won’t you?



All you have to do is purchase a raffle ticket for Adam or Mike race vehicle for $10.00 and have a chance to win.

I purchased one.:nod:

Thank you!

I purchased one. I don't want the truggy. I think this is an awesome thing to do, helping a fellow racer's family in their time of need. I remember reading about this unfortunate tragedy and my heart goes out to his family and everyone who knew him. I didn't know him but we in the rc community have a lot in common... We know how to have fun and enjoy life.

Our condolences to the family. 41 yrs old is too young. I hope the family can get through these hard times. Ronda and to all that are involved, you guys are truly amazing people.

Edit: Ronda, i hope you dont mind but I copy and pasted your post on another forum(we cant link to another forum).

The more people that see this thread the better to help out his family! :) This is great!


When this happend.... It really affected Adam and he wants to help out in any way possible.

What a great way to help and I'm very glad he fulfilled his dreams > just bought some.

Do we need to buy a seperate ticket for the Buggy and Truggy ? Or will all the tickets go into one hat and just be drawn out that way.

Thanks.

Tickets can be purchased on Ebay!

I think you will need to request which one you would like to purchase.


This was all the info I was provided with.

i posted it on a few of my local track forums,

Great thing you guys are doing Drake's..

cant wait to race with you guys again next year in vegas!

You guy's are doing a fantastic thing.. I was actually there when it happened, it was a very sad day for RC. I wish the best for his family. Again i want to say awesome job...

Just made a purchase. I too was there and it was a very sad night when that happened. All thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Everything that is being done for his family is a blessing and I believe he his still there looking out for his family, he is just using us to get the help that is needed.

Rhonda, thank you for posting this. Today......... would have been Leighton's 42nd birthday.

Come on everyone and by a raffle to help out. Hey you even get a chance win something so it is a win win. Oh yea I bought 2.:sneaky:

I bought a bunch of tickets. :D

I just picked up a couple. Thanks for sharing the info to help out.

I just pick up two. Don't remember which on. I think Adams. This is a great thing you guys are doing. I hope this brings them a lot of money. I am sure they could use it. Guys get yourself some life insurance before you cant afford it, I say this as I got married 2 years and found out just before, that I have type 2 Diabetes. Life insurance for me is out of the question now. If I had only known, I would done something sooner. I worry all the time about my family and how they will taken care.

Thank you!

Great thing you guys are doing here. Wish the best for the famialy. Just purchased 2 tickets....

Awesome! :)

Adam's Truggy has a total of 81 tickets sold and Mike true's Buggy is up to 60 tickets sold. Let keep this going! :)

Great thing you got going here.. As myself, I too had a heart attack at a young age, 46. People do ask what kind of attack I had, I tell them a good one! thats because I'm still alive.. after major surgery and a mechanical valve that sounds like a watch ticking, everything is fine. after you experiance something like this, you tend to stop and smell the roses' as they say..I can't wait for race day more than anything now, but I'm finding out its not so much as racing, but get to be amongest the fellow R/Cers... I'm having more fun having guys driving my truggy, than me driving it. I even "lowered" myself to drive an electric S/C box stock class and having a blast doing it...lifes to short. as what we all are helping on a good cause here, most of us don't even know this person, but as with all R/Cers, theres no need to be formally introduced, we are one big family... please keep the money comeing....

Purchased. Great thing you are doing.

Hey Mrs Drake,

I meet your husband at RCX and i think what you two are doing is a great thing. I will be buying a couple on the 1st of this month and more on the 15Th. I wish there was more people like you out there in the RC world:)

our race team picked up a dozen

Just picked up a ticket for each one. Doesn't matter if I win or lose, it is a great thing you are doing for his family. I would only hope that I would have an impact on others as he obviously did, and someone would do something like this for my loved ones.

BUMP to the top for some more people to see this thread.

Hi Ronda,

Is there an address or paypal address just to donate? I'd like to donate $200 of my money on behalf of the LRH family.

Let me know.

Thanks,
