Help send D4 announcer Lynn Nickerson to Hawley's Drag School

Help Div. 4 announcer Lynn Nickerson live his dream
Donations sought to send cancer survivor to Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School

Many of us know the ‘voice’ of NHRA Division 4, Lynn Nickerson. He brings an unparalleled love of the sport to the microphone when he announces. Many times you can see him walking around the pits with his notepad to get the inside scoop on what’s going on. He’s been a winner off the track as he has battled cancer twice and came out on top.

While he’s announced everything from Jr. Dragsters to Top Fuel, he has yet to make a pass down the track in a racecar. It has been a long-time dream for Nickerson to get on the track, but he has never had the opportunity. The financial strains of his battles with cancer have certainly not helped.

Division 4 racers Linda Hoover and Cody Draper are working to help Nickerson live his dream of driving a racecar down the track. They are trying to raise enough money to send him to Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School in Gainesville, Fla., for their Super Comp Dragster course. There Nickerson will receive instruction from Nitro Funny Car driver Jack Beckman, a fellow cancer survivor, and former Nitro Funny Car Champion Frank Hawley.

All proceeds will go to Nickerson to not only cover his expenses for the class, but to help cover his continual medical bills.

Please make checks out to Linda Hoover (care of Lynn Nickerson), who is coordinating the fund. Checks are to be mailed to Cody & Cindy Draper, 107 Saddle Club Rd., Weatherford, TX 76088, for individual accounting. Draper can be reached at (817) 994-2729 to answer any questions about the fund. It is requested that checks be received no later than Nov. 15.
