Price on Head of Australian Drag Racing Icon

Australian Drag Racing icon Brett ‘The Boss’ Stevens has had a price of $100,000 put on his head by the Kids With Cancer Foundation Australia.

If the money can be raised for the charity, the Brisbane based professional racer will be putting his head, or more to the point, his distinctive metre long ponytail on the chopping block.

Growing for over 20 years, Stevens ponytail has been his lifetime identifying feature and is the most recognised hairstyle in Australian motorsport. Now, with help of caring fans and businesses, he has agreed to give his ‘tail’ the snip to help out the children.

“I hadn’t planned to cut off my pony tail so when I agreed to do this it came as a bit of a shock to a lot of people”, Stevens said.

“But the Kids With Cancer Foundation is an organisation that I have strong feelings for and wouldn’t think twice about such a trivial sacrifice compared to what these poor children have to go through.”

“I’m hoping to raise $100,000 to help them out and if I do before the Winternationals, my hair goes!”

The Kids With Cancer Foundation Australia is a totally non-profit organisation that provides funding for childhood cancer suffers as well as assisting doctors, nurses, families and support groups in their efforts in caring for these children.

If the money can be raised, the momentous event will be taking place at Willowbank Raceway, Queensland, during the Finals of the Australian Winternationals on the 12th June 2005.

Sponsorship packages are available for $100 that includes a pit pass to the Winternationals on the 12th June and a fundraiser participant Tee Shirt, with all money raised going to the Kids With Cancer Foundation Australia.

Donations of any size are accepted and corporate sponsorships are also available to help out the children.
