The Truth
Don Arivett is suffering from diabetes,
at the end of 2001, Don had a large portion of his foot removed.
This has been an ongoing problem for Don and he deals with it as
well as can be expected. As a matter of fact when he was released
from the hospital,he drove straight to pick up some parts for the
race car. Don loves what he does and his dedication is proof of
that.
Just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse, Don had some
kind of attack. January 28th 2002.Apparently an intestinal blockage.
He had an operation and is in recovery at this time. Don is a
fighter and we know by "the Grace of God" Don will be at El Mirage
on May 5th to show off the new streamliner.
Gerald has been
spending his 40+ hours per week working out of the union hall as a
millwright, he is near his retirement and still going strong. On
weekends he appears at the shop to help out in any way possible.
At this time both Don
and Gerald are experiencing financial difficulties, If you feel like
you would like to help the Brothers you can show your support by
purchasing a T-shirt,and wearing it proudly to help get exposure to
the Arivett Brothers Project. These guys have never had a major
sponsor and they are long overdue. Some say they are "too far ahead
of our time".
The t-shirts are
Black with 4 colors "Red-White-Blue-Gold" silk screened (not
transferred) On Hanes Beefy T's. We will be adding a shirt of the
Top Fuel Car soon and also die cast models. Thank you for your
support and even without a purchase, it's been a pleasure sharing
this site with you!
