Team Police Brutality--Beating up on breast cancer is again raising money for this excellent cause! Our team has suffered through severe battles with breast cancer, and lost mothers, sisters, grandmothers, even a grandfather because that cancer wasn't cured. Why on earth would we use a rusty 47 year-old luxury car with a blown engine and transmission for an endurance road race? We needed a car that will draw everyone's attention in order to raise enough support for our cause. What other car on the track could draw as much attention as a cherry red 1963 Ford Thunderbird convertible? And what better way to make it stand out than with a BMW V12 drivetrain?

We figure the best way to raise substantial money is to use internet forums and online media outlets to spread the story, and ask for modest donations that the average person can easily spare in this economy. There are two ways we would like to have donations made in honor of our extraordinary racing effort:

1) You can just send a donation, however modest (you likely won't miss $20, for example) to Susan G. Komen For The Cure through this page, or

2) You can pledge to donate a specific amount (a dollar, for example)for every lap we complete. The course is 2.2 miles long. You could say it's a sucker bet, and we won't get more than 10 laps anyway,but you just never know. We'd be as surprised as anyone if we went the distance, but we're going to keep it going as long as we can.

The race starts at 10AM Saturday (June 19), and ends at 4:30PM Sunday (June 20). Breast cancer affects us all. You can probably name at least several people close to you who've suffered because of it. Take a moment and pledge your financial support! You will be rewarded with the knowledge that YOU helped make the difference in the fight against breast cancer! 100% of the donated funds will go directly to the Susan G Komen organization. It's the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world, with over ONE BILLION DOLLARS invested to date!

We are a bunch of friends who build cars and race together. Our team has members in FL, IL, SC, VA,and NJ, but we are based in Brandywine, MD. Our team name is purely intended to behumorous, as our normal race car is a Lincoln Mark VIII that beats up on smaller cars (see this YouTube video from September 12, 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq6gf4NqV5g ). We will be spending several thousand dollars of our own hard-earned money on this effort, and we will not see one dime of the donated funds. We hope that our efforts will inspire you and your friends to donate and make the difference! My mother is a breast cancer survivor! My sister is fighting for her life right now because of this disease, but like Susan G Komen, she REFUSES to give up hope. She's an inspiration to all of us!
