  • Guardian Angel Motorsports looks to Rolex 24 to raise money for charity

    Fellow engine builder and occasional Engine Builder Magazine contributor, Dana Johnson, called me the other day to alert me to a good cause. Being from Boston and being a Porsche guy, he somehow became connected with a doctor from the area who ran a GT3 car in the Rolex 24 at Daytona this past week for a charity called Guardian Angel Motorsports.

    Guardian Angel Motorsports gives money to benefit Childrens Hospital. He called me to not only try to get me to pony up, but more importantly to spread the word. After all, that is something I can do something about.

    Although the race is over, it’s not too late to make a pledge. To make a pledge today, click here.

    From Guardian Angel Motorsports:
    We are entering a Porsche 997 Grand-AM Spec GT3 Cup race car in the famous Rolex 24 Hours of  Daytona sports car endurance race. You can help us reach our charity fund-raising goal by making a pledge based on the number of laps we complete.

    All pledges are in support of Children's Hospital Boston.
     
    Here are some videos and photos from the race:
