Speed TV’s Greg White Confirms Attendance and Participation in Seattle 100 on September 8th, Speed TV Cameras Coming Too

Northwest motorcyclists participating in the 2004 Renton Motorcycles “Seattle 100” charity event presented by 2Fast Motorcycle Track Days & Instruction (www.2-fast.org, www.2-fast.org) can look forward to another special guest appearance on September 8th:

Greg White, host of Speed TV’s “Two Wheeled Tuesday’s” and “Greg’s Garage” will fly out with American Suzuki’s Jason Pridmore to ride in the fundraising event. White and Pridmore will join Josh Hayes and Tony Meiring of Attack Kawasaki, along with top Superbike privateer Jake Holden of Lion Racing / Hypercycle, in the Seattle 100. Speed TV will send a camera crew out to cover the event for a “Two Wheeled Tuesdays” episode on Speed TV.

“Greg White is one of the most recognized faces in television when it comes to motorcycle racing, and having him out with us on September 8th – along with Speed TV cameras – will be fantastic. Every motorcyclist participating in the Seattle 100 is pleased that Greg can join us, and 2Fast Motorcycle Track Days & Instruction is pleased to host him at our annual fundraising event along with our other special guests,” said 2Fast Co-Owner Brian Orton.

The Seattle 100 is a unique annual fundraiser which began last year, and received national attention. Participants ride their motorcycles around the Pacific Raceway’s roadcourse in Kent, WA attempting to complete 100 laps by day’s end. Donations go to The NephCure Foundation (www.nephcure.org), a non profit organization dedicated to the cure of glomerular kidney disease, a devastating form of kidney disease which affects both adults and children. The Seattle 100 has set a goal for itself of $50,000 in net proceeds to be given to the NephCure Foundation.
