We are ready to announce more of the slate of planned Rusty Little tributes and memorials, along with a way we can all help out his family a little during this tragic time.

Thank you again to everyone for you input, ideas and heartfelt thoughts and prayers for Rusty and his family.

First, let me remind everyone of Rusty's official funeral services. The service will be at 11am this Saturday 3/9/2019 at Higgins-Reardon Funeral Home/Chapel, 439 S. Salem-Warren Road (Rt. 45)
North Jackson, OH 44451
Website: https://www.higgins-reardon.com/north-jackson-chapel

Second, with the great assistance and talents of Brian Wolf, along with the efforts of many others including Rusty's family, gathering material, photos and videos, we will be releasing an incredible and emotional tribute video of Rusty's time sim racing.

Third, effective tonight at the green flag of the truck race, the number 102 was officially and ceremoniously retired from official series racing.

Fourth, The RTG Fantasy Racing League that Rusty set up for us yearly, and as we all know he dominated greatly, will be re-named in his honor.

Fifth, The Challenger Series will continue on both Mondays and Wednesdays and will each crown a champion for this season, however, due to his sizable lead in the Aero88 Challenger Series, Rusty Little will be posthumously crowned Co-Champion with the winner.

Sixth, We will be opening our doors to Rusty's family and to Rusty's fellow sim racers on Sunday March 17th at 7pm for "Rusty Little Memorial Night" followed by the "Copy That 102" Fun Race(s) ("Copy that" was Rusty's favorite response phrase.). Details to follow, but if any painters wish to make a Rusty tribute paint, the Mod will be cws2015 Trucks and you may upload them to our regular cfm as you would a Monday truck. We will post updates and details here. This event is open to anyone and everyone who knew or raced with Rusty. Racing or donating are not requirements. Let's show Rusty's family what he meant to everyone.

Seventh, a GoFundMe page is going to be set up by Rusty's family. We will be supporting this effort and greatly encourage everyone who is able to, to do so as well. This will greatly assist Rusty's family with funeral expenses, and anything that you would have been thinking to send to us toward any pay for race, trophy, prize etc.., would be best served going to this cause instead. All of us, along with the Little family greatly appreciate your generosity. We will post the info here when it becomes available.

More to follow.....

On behalf of the Little family and everyone at RTG, THANK YOU all again for helping honor such a great friend of the sim racing community.

Terry, David and Sean
