List,
You can contact the Utah Motorsports Foundation at www.nishmotorsports.com
or call Terry Nish at 801-328-0629. His office is at 764 West South Temple,
Salt lake City, UT 84104. It's not often that all sectors of the racing
community come together for something like this but Terry has raced in and
supported most of them and has been able to call in all the resources.
Also, the foundation doesn't take administrative fees out so all of the
donations go to the purpose intended.
