Local Race Team Supports VFW National Home For Children
Circle Heart Racing from Lawrenceville GA assists VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post 5255 and Boy Scout Troop 595 placing flags on the graves of veterans in observance for Memorial Day. Ron Rigdon, owner/driver of Circle Heart Racing is a lifetime member with the VFW and raced for the VFW National Home for Children for the previous two months gaining support and donations. “I want to give back and what better way than supporting the VFW National Home for Children and all the good they do for the families and kids of our Veterans,” Ron noted.
“It’s awesome to be a part of this great nation and as a veteran myself; I want to honor current and especially our fallen heroes that sacrificed their life for our freedom,” said Rigdon. He and a local group of Boy Scouts and Veterans took time to place more than 1000 flags in two of Lawrenceville’s cemeteries. There were a number of Father and Sons working together making it a family tradition and is a good lesson for our youth to learn respect and honor for our Veterans, past and present.
Veterans across Gwinnett will be celebrating Memorial Day with a parade through town
at 9am. At 1pm Post 5255 will pay respects to a local family as they sadly add their
son’s name to the Veterans Wall located the Gwinnett Justice Center. Come, show your
support. Contact VFW Post 5255 at 770-

The races in the December Santa’s Toy Run was a huge success for the charities. They
were able to provide over 400 homeless children with toys for Christmas and raised

women with gift cards in the battered women’s shelter. We had lots of support from

The #28 Honda S2000 did not fair so well blowing the motor and crashing during the 8 Hour Endurance Race.“I was real disappointed with the out come of the Toy Run (for the car), but happy that we were able to make a difference in some kids life,” Ron said, “Money is real tight however we hope to have the car back together by April, God willing.” Sponsorships have been real tough for Circle Heart Racing in 2011 and especially in 2012. Rigdon gave everything he had to make the Toy Run a success but didn’t anticipate crashing the car and loosing a motor.
Look for Circle Heart to be a contender for the 2012 Honda Challenge Series because you can’t keep a good dog down. They will find a way to get back on track because there is a lot of people depending on them.
Rigdon Wins more than Championship
For the first time in the history of Circle Heart Racing, they are suffering financially. They literally gave everything they had to make Santa’s Toy Run 2011 a success and unfortunately did not make provisions for a blown engine and crash.
“We need to replace our engine, fix the suspension and right side of the car so we can continue to race,” Ron says, “There are a lot of organizations that depend on us and without a car, it’s going to be hard.”
Rigdon uses the car for more than just racing; he does fund raisers and helps to
bring attention to many non-
