New Dates for Racing 2 Save Lives at Miller Motorsports Park
Denver, CO – May 21, 2008 - Following the cancellation of its previously announced 2008 opening event, the children’s charity Racing 2 Save Lives is pleased to announce that Utah’s Miller Motorsports Park will host R2SL on July 3-6, kicking off the organization’s fifth season.
“We sincerely thank Larry Miller and his great staff for finding dates that would work on their calendar,” commented R2SL Executive Director Stan Foxworthy. “The track has become so popular – and understandably so, given the incredible facility – that dates can be hard to come by. For the track to step up to the plate and give us such a prime date, especially over the Fourth of July holiday, is just incredible!”
Founded in 2004, Racing 2 Save Lives is a unique track-day event covering four days, comprising not only on-track sessions, but coaching for first-time track riders, a silent auction, and celebrity guest riders. Proceeds are donated to carefully selected children’s charities in the communities that R2SL visits.
R2SL Vice President Ralph Forsythe emphasized the organization’s commitment to safe riding, as it offers free track instruction at all of its events, opening the door for sportbike riders of all levels to experience the thrill of track riding. “Over the years we’ve refined our program, and 2008 promises to be the best yet,” asserted Forsythe. “Our participants, sponsors and volunteers have helped us donate significantly to children in need, and we’re looking forward to continuing that tradition. The culture of safety and ‘smart riding’ that we promote also ensures that participants will have fun while doing a great thing for the world around them.”
R2SL also recognizes that many participants who booked rooms for the previously scheduled dates were unable to obtain refunds from their hotels. “I sincerely apologize to our loyal participants and volunteers who were put in a bind,” Foxworthy added. “Unfortunately this situation was beyond our control. We plan to make up for it by putting on the best R2SL ever this July!”
On-line registration for the MMP round of R2SL will go live May 24, at www.racing2savelives.org. For more information on participating or volunteering, visit R2SL’s web site or call 303-767-RACE.
Racing 2 Save Lives is a 501(c)3 charity that operates unique track-day events for motorcyclists, with proceeds donated to deserving children’s charities in the communities where R2SL takes place. Since 2004, R2SL has donated over $200,000.00 to charity.
