Hurricane Sandy – an unprecedented storm – is now cutting a destructive path up the coast, flooding streets with torrential rainfall and battering homes with dangerous, gale-force winds.  Hundreds of thousands of evacuees have already rushed to emergency shelters with their loved ones, and your support is desperately needed to help us keep as many people safe from the storm as possible. Please make your tax-deductible gift to American Red Cross Disaster Relief now. Hurricane Sandy has already wrought extensive damage in vulnerable communities along the coast, including severe flooding, power failures and wind damage. There’s no telling what kind of devastation communities will face in this 1,000-mile-wide storm’s aftermath, which means we must be ready for the worst.  With your help the Red Cross has already opened 112 overnight shelters in 9 states, secured more than 230,000 shelf-stable meals, and deployed more than 1,300 trained Red Cross workers to the areas where they’re needed most. But as the storm’s effects become more widespread, more people will need our help. We’ve got to be there for every one of them.  How much help we can provide in the coming days will be determined in part by your generosity right now. And even after Hurricane Sandy has left our shores, our job won’t be done. We’ll be on the ground, working side by side with people whose homes were flooded or destroyed by the storm. We’ll be serving hot meals and snacks to families with no electricity or running water. For as long as we’re needed, we’ll be there for people facing the greatest challenge of their lives – but we can’t do it without your support.  You can help provide critical relief like food, shelter, water and more to families affected by disasters like Hurricane Sandy – make a generous gift to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief

The Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle®/Vance & Hines drag racing team clinched the 2012 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle championship as rider Ed Krawiec roared to his ninth Pro Stock Motorcycle win of the season and third in a row at the Big O Tires NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The defending Pro Stock Motorcycle champion now leads the class by 111 points with one event left on the schedule. Only his teammate Andrew Hines remains in contention for the title. “What a great weekend for our team,” said Krawiec. “I had an outstanding Harley-Davidson® V-Rod® motorcycle to race and I’m relaxed and confident. There’s simply no pressure or stress when I roll up to the line. All I’m thinking about is going to Pomona with a chance to end the season winning four Wallys in a row, which I’ve never done.” Krawiec actually won two events at Las Vegas. On Saturday he and Hines raced in the last round of qualifying to complete the final elimination round of the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals, which was postponed by rain on Oct. 8 at Maple Grove Raceway in Reading, Pa. Krawiec won that face-off for his 19th career win and eighth of the season, and pulled ahead of Hines, his closest rival for the championship, by 51 points. Earlier in qualifying, Krawiec rode his Harley V-Rod to an Elapsed Time of 6.902 seconds to claim the top spot for Sunday eliminations for the fifth time this season. On Sunday, Krawiec made his last appearance of the season on a Harley V-Rod with a special Hard Candy Pink Flake paint scheme and matching leathers, the end of a month-long effort to raise breast cancer awareness. For the season finale at Pomona, both Screamin’ Eagle V-Rods will revert to the team’s traditional Black and Silver paint schemes. In
