The 14th Annual East Coast Race Against Cancer will be held September 10-13, 2015 at McCullough's Raceway in Sarver, PA.

Each year this very special race grows as does the hearts of our sponsors and the racers who attend the event. Last year's race set yet another record with an amazing $23,000 raised during the long weekend for the American Cancer Society! This brings our 13 year total donation to ACS at over $111,000.00. This accomplishment cannot be done without the sponsors, racers and event participants. So please put this race on your calendar and the pass the word.

We’ve made our best attempt to plan accordingly but as you know various circumstances may require deviations to the schedule of events.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the RAC. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at this year's 14th Annual RAC.

What tires and compounds for 4w Buggy and Ebuggy are recommended....

Croland1980

iTrader: (2)

For e-buggy you will want something like Pink Megabites for when the track is damp and cool. Like during the early morning and night time qualifiers. When the sun is out and the track starts to groove up you will want either a soft Impact, Blockade, Holeshot, Reflex, Rasps or any other blue groove tire.

As for 4wd buggy.... Something along the lines of the above mentioned tires. And more than likely you will want to run more super soft compounds than soft.

iTrader: (105)

Hi Dan. The drivers stand is accessible via wheel chair. If you're coming to the race, let me know by Wednesday 9/9 and I will personally mark you off a 10x10 spot in front, near the drivers stand. Text is probably best...four one two 817 eight zero zero four

Awesome thanks!

On behalf of Racers Against Cancer Enterprises I'd like to personally thank everyone for their extremely generous product and cash donations to the 2015 RAC. Without their support our event would be a small fraction of what it is today.

I ask everyone who reads this post to thank our sponsors by supporting them when you purchase products and services. Its the least we can do to thank them for their dedicated support to our cause.

Anthony Mazzara

just under a week to to go to the 2015 rac...great time and an excellent cause...can't wait!

I am donating my tlr 8e 3.0 race roller with a new clear body and a new set of proline tires to be raffled of again this year at the rac...it was recently rebuilt and is in good shape so bring a few extra dollars to get some raffle tickets...thanks

Thank you so very much Anthony! We truly appreciate your long time dedicated support to our cause. Each and every year the raffle for your buggy is a huge success.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the RAC...safe travels my friend.

What are the results for the event? It would be great to see this event go over the top with more huge donations and support from manufacturer's and drivers. Then you have Anthony M. for caring enough to donate personal belongings to help raise money for a great cause. If he can donate a item to raise money, what kind of support could manufacturers provide? I imagine they already offer door prizes for the racers but that doesn't add to the cause. Scott, keep up the great work.
