Subject: A Special Idea for Corey Jalbert

To Jamie Davis and Jody Swamp,

The entire racing community was shocked by Corey Jalbert's accident at the Speedway. Much has been done to help Corey, Dan and Tammy during this time but I would like you to consider having the Speedway do something special. What I suggest is that Frogtown schedule a special Corey Jalbert Recognition Night Race in August or September on a weekday evening similar to the Nations Cup race night that he was injured on. Ask all drivers willing to show up and race for free or only tow money to come. Ask all fans to pay $15 admission of which all will go to the Jalbert family. Solicit special prizes and drawings from which all proceeds will go to the Jalbert family and Corey. Ask everyone at the Speedway to donate their services for the evening. The track can pay its expenses from the concession sales for the evening or even donate a small percentage of those sales to the Jalbert family. In short if at least 500 fans come out to support this event it is likely $10,000 could be raised on Corey's behalf and perhaps some of that could be given in trust for his future education needs or medical rehabilitation expenses. Just and idea. I am not a Frogtown regular but come up at least five times a year and for this event I know I would come and would not be complaining regardless of how many cars were there to race in each class. But I know the racing community....fans, drivers, promoters and drivers alike......they have a huge heart and I think they would support such and effort with those huge hearts......one special evening where everyone gives....their money, their time and their effort to help this family and young man who was a rising star and whose family has provided years of entertainment to us with their racing.
