BEAT
THE HEAT, INC. is a "Cops and Kids" oriented program which brings the young
people together with the Police Officers who are there to help them. It gives both groups
an opportunity to closely interact with each other so that each group can learn from the
other things that will really make a difference for both groups in the community.
The theme of our program is "RACING FOR EDUCATION". Three of our four goals
state specifically a goal of some kind of education. Many of the problems of our society
today stem from the fact that many people are lacking in education. We can only make an
attempt with the adults to get them to use their heads and think before they do something.
However, we CAN get the attention of the young people and they are very capable of
learning. We try to encourage these young people to STAY IN SCHOOL AND OFF DRUGS AND
ALCOHOL.
With our cars we are able to break down some of the barriers that naturally exist between
youth and authority figures. There are many that we times when youth that would never
before have considered walking up to and talking with a Police Officer will talk with us
because of our "Cool Cars."
BEAT THE HEAT, INC. also offers alternative extra-curricular activity for those youngsters
who may not be able to make the sports teams in high school. Handicap Drag Racing is a
sport in which ANYONE who can drive can participate on a fair and equal basis with
everyone else. Your only limitation is your own ability to learn the technique and DO IT!
This sport is also one in which WOMEN can participate and, indeed, excel in direct
competition with men. There are many, many women who Drag Race and several of them have
advanced even into the VERY elite group of persons who drive the ultimate machine, the Top
Fuel Dragster, at 300 Miles Per Hour.
With the advent of NHRA's new JR. DRAG RACING LEAGUE younger fans are now able to
participate at a very early age (8 years old).
There are many good racers who are physically impaired and they are able to participate in
this sport using their ability to drive and their competitive nature. They don't have to
race in their own special class. They race and beat anyone who shows up in the other lane.
The Tropical Impression Racing Team uses our car to help at-risk, less fortunate and
handicapped children as well as young adults. These persons are treated as honorary team
members and are given the opportunity to attend and directly participate in various types
of events from races to parades. These kids are V.I.P.'s.
Participation in the program is a good deal of FUN. We invite everyone to participate and
enjoy the good fun and fellowship.

corporation recognized as tax exempt by the State of Texas and the IRS under section
