Need a little help!

About a month ago, my 6 month old son was diagnosed with cancer. He is doing OK so far, but as you can probably imagine, it's a long road in front of us. We are trying to free up a little cash for all the incidentals that our insurance doesn't cover. So, before I take the time to put these out on ebay, I figure I'd see if anyone here would be interested in some car stuff. The money would go to a benefit fund set up by the hospital. I'll be in Denver often so maybe I wouldn't even have to ship. Anyway, please take a look and PM me if there is something you'd be interested in:

2001 Trackmagic 125cc Shifter Kart - let me know if you would like details!

Thanks Jim and everyone else who's reading this. Kristine and I are much more comfortable offering help than asking for it, but we're not in a position to refuse either! Here is the info on the account:

Wow, thank you Nick!
And thank you to everyone who has read this post and sent messages!

The Illustrated Buyers Guides and Auto Restorer Mags are spoken for, THANKS!

Had a few notes about the Kart, so will respond shortly and get some info here as well. I'll get a couple pictures up in the morning.

You guys have been great! -m

 

A little info on the Kart:

2001 Trackmagic Diablo II racing Kart, 125cc Honda CR motor, Brembo brakes, overall very good condition.

I raced it in senior/heavy class, but I'm pretty sure you can run it in stock class also, only significant mod on the engine is the removal of exhaust port and related HPP mechanism. It has a muffler and airbox and should be track legal anywhere in CO. Last raced in 2004, I rebuild the engine summer 2005, and have few practice hours on it since. Maybe 3-4 hours. Carb is set up for Grand Junction, so should be fine for front range.

The only thing it needs are new tires, these are a little cooked. I figured I would buy a new set ($130) when I started racing again.

Trackmagic are made in USA, are of very good quality, fully adjustable chassis including wheelbase, and are easy to find parts for (careful of the italian karts! don't we all know about that!). Send me a PM if ?s. Thanks!

I cannot begin to tell you how amazed and humbled I am at all of your generosity and support. Honestly, it felt so awkward for me to put that first post out there, and I didn't expect this kind of response! I hope that I will get to meet all of you sometime and thank you personally.

We'll be in Denver this weekend for treatment, so my responses to PMs may be a little slower. -m

Thank you Alex and Vic, and thank you everyone who has sent notes and prayers and donations! I posted this thread to try to sell a few things I thought my fellow Ferrari friends would enjoy, and I have been overwelmed with your kindness and generosity. Thank you!!! -Matt and Tuck
