    Three weeks ago I spent an evening with Tommy Ivo shooting the breeze about the grand, golden days of drag racing.
    Before I left, he insisted that he give me a poster consisting of photos of many of all of his dragsters over the years.
    I was really honored to spend many hours with Tommy to start with, then he gives me a signed poster...how cool is that?
    Due to the circumstances taking place with Todd and his family, I thought that I better give it up to someone who will really enjoy the poster and maybe the Reeds can get just one bill paid for with the proceeds.

    So...here tis....24" X 36", never folded. I will mail it in a sturdy tube.
    I will also send an 8" X 10" of Tommy signing the poster.

    It would look great in your shop, garage, over the fireplace (surprise your wife!), dungeon, strip club, or church social hall.
    (soup cans not included in auction)

    Auction ends at 6PM PST on thursday July 7....

    and Tommy signing it on June 8th...

    Tommy pointing at one of his hundreds of historic photos in his home and you can see a copy of the poster on the wall in the background.

    So....let's see some generous bids...:):):)
    I'll ship it out as soon as Todd gets the $. We'll get to those details later.

    So....Joe Thomas, it's yours....so far at $250....
    The other fella stated in a PM that he will help Todd out another way and has backed out of this auction.
    So.........Joe...so far you're top bidder.
    Don't worry about not having PayPal...if you are still top bidder next thursday, we'll make it work.
    Doug

    Well, I'm showing 6:10, so, this auction is over.

    Rainhater1 is the winner, so I'll be in touch with you as to where to send the money to Todd.

    OldButYoungAgain was super nice by matching the winning bid with cash of his own to go to Todd.

    Rainhater1 wants Todd to have the poster, so I'll be mailing it to Todd.

    Pretty terrific....over $600 raised to help the Reeds out of a temporary jam.

    Nice going everyone. You ought to all be very proud of yourselves. !!!
