So all we need here is a new radiator, a few hoses . . .
. . . some bungee cords, ty-raps, tie-downs and a little Gator-Ade to make it right.
Ooops. What's all that oil coming out the side of the block?
"Rotary Lift continues to support the
ICY (Inner City Youth) Racing team with their 2002 C6 Corvette in the Grand
Am AGT division. The team members include professional drivers (Dave
Rosenblum and Steve Lisa), a professional crew chief (Randy Wilmore), and
inner city teenagers from the North Philadelphia area as crewmembers. Dave
Rosenblum founded the program in 1985 and partners and co-drives with Steve
Lisa, a prominent Arizona patent attorney.
Rosenblum, a recovered drug addict, wanted to find a way to combine his love
of racing with his desire to help kids at risk. "ICY Racing gives kids who
are straight, but vulnerable to the drug culture, an opportunity to stay
straight," says Rosenblum. "I want to show them that there is a bigger world
out there than just North Philadelphia."
So far, the program has been very successful. Young team members have
graduated and gone on to work in factories, join the military, and attend
vocational schools. States Rosenblum, "The program is not really meant to
turn an untrained high school student into a master technician, but rather
give them a chance to be part of a professional team and learn to
contribute."
Rotary Lift became a team sponsor as a way to further their commitment to
community development and support the basic mission to help underprivileged
youth. "It's a perfect fit for us," states Matt Webster, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing at Rotary. "We're naturally involved with the automotive
industry, and the philosophy of the ICY Racing team is the kind of positive
message that all of corporate America should be supporting wherever they
can."
ICY Racing started 18 years ago. Rosenblum has big plans for 2002 including
reservations to speak at over 10 schools on avoiding drugs and alcohol."
