Everyone, I appreciate the support that you all are showing for Dan, but please be patient. I'm depending on Dan to provide details of the raffle, particularly the details of the grand prize, but I have to wait until Dan is well again. Fingers crossed, that day will be soon.

I've been texting with Dan. He's been in the hospital for 6 weeks. He's still on a ventilator, but his prognosis is good. What's not good is that his hospital bill is to the moon. His insurance coverage topped out well before the 6 weeks he's been in intensive care. His online time is extremely limited, so he has asked me to make an announcement about a raffle to help Dan with his sky high hospital bill. The winner of the raffle will receive a custom race engine (or a badazz street/strip engine), their choice of either big block or smallblock, built by Dan at Performance Only. In case there are newcomers on the forum who don't know Dan, his engine knowledge, workmanship, and customer service are second to none, plus he's a hell of a nice guy, too. Anyone that has ever met Dan or had any dealings with him, will attest to this. Details of the raffle will be forthcoming.
WOW Dave.....guess I found this thread on the tail end.....Dan, I hope this finds you on the mend.....get well soon.

For the members who want to help Dan now, and not wait for the kick-off of the engine raffle, you can send a donation to Dan's paypal account, [Email]kscooter15@aol.com.[/Email]
Done. Waiting on the raffle details!
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Heck I,m still running the K1 crank (408) I bought from Dan years ago during his crank sale and a new one is coming out of the box for my next build. He also rounded up my Callias 4.500 stroke crank for my 572 engine. Get well soon Dan.

Yeah, but how's Dan? Because you didn't up date us, I will assume he's doing good and well on the way to a full recovery. "No news is good news" seems to fit here I hope.

I texted him earlier this evening to see how he was, but he hasn't texted back.
