"We are all in a support role and here for each other - and it's just great to be a part of that."<BR> <BR> Villaconn are supporting a marvellous initiative, the Inner City Youth Racing (ICY) program. This takes inner city children and gives them an opportunity to become members of a professional race team. The goal is to give them a chance to learn about teamwork, preparation and the discipline required to win.<BR> <BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
