The Fall-Line race car takes a lap around the Thunderhill track during the 2008 event.
 
|
On Dec. 5-6 in Willows, Calif., Fall-Line Motorsports, Trim-Tex drywall products, WeatherTech, and Barrington Concours will participate in the Drive for 25 charity event at the Thunderhill Race Track. The longest endurance race in the world, participants drive through the night for 25 hours straight. The team with the most laps at the end is declared the winner.
Fall-Line Motorsports will be bringing two cars to the event. The #70 BMW M3 will be driven by Joe Koenig, Mark Boden, Gunter Schaldach, and Mike Borkowski. The #72 BMW M3 will be driven by Jim Hamman, Tom Herb, David MacNeil, and Cooper MacNeil. By participating in the race, the team hopes to raise $50,000 for the Automotive Safety Project at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Chicago.
Shriners Hospitals for Children – Chicago specializes in treating patients with spinal cord injuries, many of which are sustained through a motor vehicle accident. In order to reduce injuries and fatalities from motor crashes, the hospital launched the Automotive Safety Project. This initiative provides adaptive car seats to children with disabilities, adaptive car equipment to drivers with disabilities, and promotes safe driving to the public. The project was catalyzed in 2008 by Director of Research Administration Sahar Hassani, MS.
