Russ & 007.JPG

Russ Myer has been a friend for 15 years. He has been my racing crew cheif for 7 years and helped we win 4 National Champioships in the Viper Racing League and NARRA Series. Russ has been Involved in racing for most of his life. Most recently ( last 5 years) he has been mentoring the Duluth East Dardevil high school robotic team building robots and competeing against other high schools around the country in robotic competitions. Russ has alwalys been there for others, helping in what ever way he could to enrich others' lives.

If you have ever visited the Archer Racing trailer at a Viper Days, NARRA, or VOI/NVE event than you probably met Russ Myer. He would have been the guy turning wrenches while laying on his back fixing yours or somebody else's VIPER.

Russ has fought and won a battle against cancer once before when he suffered from Hodgkin's Lymphoma several years ago. Russ is again in the fight of his life against Pancreatic Cancer. He was diagnosed a month ago and must now receive cemotherapy every two weeks for the rest of his life.

Russ and his wife Kathy are the proud parents of two adult children Becca and Paul. They have two grandsons with another one on the way in June. Russ has been forced to stop working to concentrate on his health and survival. Both Russ and Kathy are very pround people and have never ask for anything from anybody.

I am asking his friends, my friends, the Viper Nation, and the Racing World to help our good friend Russ Myer. Neither Russ nor anyone deserves to be stricken with Cancer. Russ needs our help NOW. He has been there for us at race tracks around the country, let us now be there for Russ Myer whens he need us. Please find it in your heart to help Russ and his family with what ever donation you can afford. John Archer will be holding a benefit for Russ in Duluth, MN. the last weekend in March. I plan on beeing there for Russ, anyone else that would like to attend please reach out to me for details.

Please follow this link to the Go Fund Me page I have set up in Russ's behalf to help his family with the financial burden of this horrible disease. https://www.gofundme.com/russ-myers-...-survival-fund

Please help spread the word

Prayers for Russ. Thanks for the link.

Fellow Viper Owners:

Russ Myer is one of those true Treasures in the Viper Universe. Working with Tommy Archer for decades, and Viper Days, VRL, NARRA, Steve 007, and at VOI 4-12, Russ is probably responsible, [directly or indirectly,] for much of the setup performance alignment information that enthusiasts here have utilized to obtain great handling. If JonB ever helped or advised you with setup or alignment, I learned 90% of it from Russ Myer. EVERY time I have had my and/or Doris' car at a VOI, we booked time with the 'setup whisperer' Russ.

Time to please reach into your pocket, and help turn his family's big sour lemon into some Lemon-AID. Any amount helps, and goes straight to Russ. Sam {Banner Man} Goldfarb is stepping up to reward some new FundMe donors with a banner-memento. Detauls to follow here soon.

If you have ever taken my word for anything, please know this: Russ Myer is as generous and deserving a NICE guy as you could ever meet at a race track. And he could really use your help. And we all could use some good Karma.

And if you cannot spare even $10-$25, then please send your prayers, and God Bless You, too.

Thank You.

LATE EDIT: ONLY If you have a mental block against internet and credit cards [or 'GoFme' sites,] you can still help Russ: Send PartsRack a check, made out to RUSS MYER. Enclose a note to tell me the year-model-color of your car, and I'll mail you back a small Viper doo-dad as a thank you. And Ill tell Sam G about your donation once he posts those details.

Steve thanks for the info and the link!

I remember Russ from Viper Days when Archer Racing used to come all the way to California, those were the best viper racing days. The Archer crew were the nicest most helpful people you could ever meet, I'm sure Russ must have done something to my car back then since something happened almost every event.

Will be happy to help a little.

Thanks to several of you for helping, and I am BUMPING Steve's thread because of the "General" forum
