Clubs raise funds for Fisher House at Fort Hood - The Killeen Daily Herald
“You love it, and it’s just like a hobby when I work on my truck,” he said, explaining how he refurbished it. “You do it a couple hours a day and night and weekends. Sunday, more than 40 cars competed in the Fisher House Car and Bike show. Hosted by two local car clubs — Stang Syndicate and Challenger Squad — old and new motorized vehicles lined the parking lot of the Veteran of Foreign Wars Post 3892 headquarters in Harker Heights. After taking his truck apart to work on it, Rackley just started taking it to car shows this year. Rackley said even though his truck probably does not need anymore work now, he still doesn’t consider it a completed project. “But when you’re done, you’re not really done,” he said. The Stang Syndicate and Challenger Squad car clubs raised more than $1,100 for Fort Hood’s Fisher House, which provides military families housing close to a loved one during a hospitalization. Car clubs traditionally focus more on themselves than they do the community, and we want to change that perception,” said Will Plantenga, president of Stang Syndicate. Source: kdhnews.com
