More Bullshit being spewed Over on Baja Racing news!!!!
After Checking what is happening on Baja racing news I saw a article about Bryant Layton and this is what it was about......
Fraud Alert posted for Bryant Layton over non-profit solicitations
Bryant Layton needs to cough up some answers to a national non-profit, over accusations of Bryant Layton scamming off-road business for his own racing ventures. Layton, who claims to be an "off-road racer" and "media person", has never won a race or even gotten close. But, he is using other peoples money for his fun.
Possibly by a fraudulent non-profit solicitation.
A San Diego radio station may have perpetrated the fraudulent non-profit solicitation. The national non-profit is now on the alert for the operation. The FCC has stringent guidelines on such solicitations. The station is owned by Salem Communications, Scott Hunter at 4880 Santa Rosa Road in Camarillo, California. Calls to the station office went unanswered.
The radio station staff and Layton refused to provide any contact information for the non-profit solicitation for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation had no contributions from a "Bryant Layton" and the foundation said, "until Mr. Layton proves his taking monies in the name of the foundation, we prefer he not use our name."

Here is the article...
Friday, October 24th, 2008.
Issue 43, Volume 8.
Soon after his birth in 1987 Alex Ramirez-Lawritson was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (also known as mucoviscidosis, or CF for short).
A hereditary disease that affects mainly the lungs and digestive system, CF causes progressive disability, thick mucus production and a less competent immune system, resulting in frequent infections.
He lost his battle of a lifetime on Dec. 8, 2007, four days before his 20th birthday.
“Alex was our diehard, all-American, flag-bearing family pit-crew member,” said Bryant Layton, owner/driver of Layton Race Team of Wildomar. “He left our team in a very short period of time – snap, like that. We didn’t know what to do. It was so quick.”
“We really didn’t know anything about cystic fibrosis; all we knew was that Alex had health issues,” Layton added. “We later found out that a cure for CF could have been possible within his lifetime. Alex and 30,000 others diagnosed with CF, along with their families, shouldn’t have to suffer in pain.”
“The Alex Project is all about Alex and how we plan to never let him be forgotten. We want him remembered forever,” Layton firmly stated. “I keep reminding people that it’s not about me.
“Alex’s goal in life and ultimate dream was to race the Baja 1000 and finish in a limited class Jeep Speed vehicle. That’s all Alex talked about.
“So, out of our love for Alex, we’re going to make his dream come true and take him in spirit on a memorial ride – ashes, American flag graphics and all.
“We usually race this race in a class 1 car with all the comforts of advanced suspension [and a] powerful motor to plane on top of the terrain. It’s a cushy ride. We’re leaving the class 1 Orange County Pools car at home.”
The fundraiser
“Our team and volunteer sponsors from the racing industry are building the Alex Project Jeep Speed class car from the ground up to debut at the Baja 1000,” said Layton. “Everything from labor, materials, components and team supplies is being donated, with 10 percent of proceeds to go toward the CF Foundation, including cash contributions to the team.”
According to James Goodson, director of special events for the Orange County chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, “This fundraiser is legitimate. We’ve met with the race team and have partnered with them on their mission.”
“The [race] team doesn’t need to bring us lots of money,” Goodson continued. “What the CF Foundation needs is a whole new market for awareness. The motorsports community has been accelerating at this and we’re looking forward to gaining the necessary public awareness with the help of the Alex Project.”
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the leading organization devoted to curing and controlling cystic fibrosis.
Headquartered in Bethesda, MD, the foundation funds CF research, has more than 80 chapters and branch offices throughout the country and supports and accredits a nationwide network of more than 115 care centers, which provide vital treatments and other CF resources to patients and families.
From the fan front
“From phone calls we’ve received from people concerned about CF, it’s amazing how far they call from in the US,” said Layton. “We’ve gotten calls from people in Maine to Honolulu. They deeply regret, ‘I don’t have money to donate, but we’re so appreciative of your efforts and responsiveness for our family’s ongoing mission.’”
More team discussion
“I’m going to have to be really careful how I navigate by really slowing down my customary race pace to get a spec 10 inches of wheel travel to the finish line. [However],” Layton hooted, “this car will make it. We have to – not a doubt.”
“Eight of our team members will be taking turns on the duty of co-driving [in the passenger seat] the 280-horsepower vehicle throughout this year’s 634-mile course, starting and finishing on a loop at San Felipe up each mile marker in this order.”
The team’s already got their driving lineup: Richard Patterson from start to mile marker 40, John Patterson on a very technical section up to mile marker 147, Evan Sterling to mile marker 210, Heather Phan to mile marker 300, Mark Mason through the silt beds to mile marker 400, matriarch Debbie Patterson to mile marker 500, Shaun Oschner on the inland portion of mile marker 565 and patriarch Russ Patterson, per his insistence, the final co-driver.
“I’m the rented mule of the team,” Mark Mason boldly stated. “If this car gets stuck in the silt beds I’ll wrap a rope around me and pull Alex’s memorial car out with my bare hands.”
“Our team consultant and instigator, Cameron Steele, convinced us to let me solo-drive the entire race,” said Layton. “This has never been done in a Jeep Speed class car. I’m so screwed. Even Ivan ‘Ironman’ Stewart thinks we’re nuts to have a driver solo for what could be up to 40 hours in the driver’s seat.”
The national tour
“We’re currently working with Greg Adler at 4 Wheel Parts on a schedule over the next two years for the Alex Project CF awareness vehicle to visit all 62 of their retail locations across the United States,” said Layton.
Current sponsors include 4 Wheel Parts, 4130 Clothing, Alpine Star, Amsoil Lubricants, Bully Dog, Baja Fool, Barnett Racing Products, DanZio Performance, Brian Deegan, Desert Assassins, Gibson Exhaust, HJC Helmets, Jaz Performance Products, Ricky Johnson’s Perris Raceway, Inland West Video, K&N Engineering, Locos Mocos, Metal Mulisha, MME Aluminum, Orange County Pools, PAC West Motorsports, PCI Race Radios, PB Racing, Regan Construction, Rockstar Energy Drink, SignTech, Cameron Steele, T&J Performance, Twisted Stitch Seats, Slime, Smith Designs, Termin-8 Pest Control and Totally Off Road Radio.

THE ALEX PROJECT – 1000 MILES FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Baja 1000 Racer Seeks to Raise Money
for Life-threatening Disease
(Ensenada – Baja California) - The team members of Layton Racing are happy to announce their entry in the 2008 SCORE Baja 1000, taking place November 20-23, 2008. This is the largest and most well known off-road race of its kind. Layton racing is also proud to announce that they are racing for a cause: Alex Ramirez-Lawritson and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Alex was a valuable member of the Layton Racing family. Alex was also very sick and lost his battle with cystic fibrosis on December 8, 2008, shortly before his 20th birthday. The members of Layton Racing count Alex as a family member and have all come together to race this Baja 1000 solely for Alex.
Bryant Layton of Layton Racing has taken on the challenge of driving solo in the Jeep Speed class. Bryant will be in the drivers seat for the entire 1000 miles, an extraordinary effort never attempted by any other Jeep Speed driver.
“This may be the most difficult 40 hours of my life, but the memory of Alex and his 20 year fight with cystic fibrosis will keep me going,” said Bryant Layton of Layton Racing.
The members of Layton Racing will switch places in the passenger seat throughout the race, however the team made a unanimous decision that only Alex’s name will be emblazoned on the passenger side of the Jeep Speed.
Layton racing has partnered with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the leading organization in the United States dedicated to cystic fibrosis research and care. Layton Racing has set up a website to encourage visitors to pledge donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in memory of Alex and to keep Alex’s fight against cystic fibrosis going.
