SPECIAL FUNDRAISING EVENT

SPORT BIKE NIGHT needs YOUR support! Join us on Sunday, September 28th from 3pm till 7pm for a special fundraising event. AMA/AFM/CCS rider SHAUN SUMMERS was seriously injured July 11th on the first lap of the 600cc National at Laguna Seca. Shaun has spent nearly a month in Stanford University Hospital and has undergone three surgeries to his right leg and foot as the result of the crash. The current total for medical expenses, to this point, is approximately $150,000. Although Shaun has medical insurance we expect there to be several thousand dollars in “out of pocket” expenses. A majority of the proceeds from the event will directly to Shaun’s medical expenses.

We would like to invite you to a special fundraiser hosted by some of Shaun’s sponsors. DUNLOP TIRES, ALPINESTARS and ARAI HELMETS are holding a day of KART RACING at RACE PLACE MOTORSPORTS in Rancho Cordova, California. RPM is a state of the art indoor kart racing facility. Please check out their website at www.RacePlaceMotorsports.com Both of their tracks will open for drivers to “hot lap” during the day. Later in the afternoon, a special championship race will be held with entries limited to 36 karts. Heat races and semi’s will par the field down to 12 karts. Each of the 36 entrants will receive prizes just for entering. The winner of the main event will be awarded a new ARAI HELMET. Main event finishers will be awarded prizes from DUNLOP TIRES AND ALPINESTARS.

On hand to assist, sign autographs and race in the main event will be two of the top riders on the AMA National circuit.
